60ml Unsweetened Almond Milk (or other milk of your choice e.g. whole, lactose-free, hemp)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Truvia / Natvia / Pure Via Sweetener if needed

Caramel option #1

100g Almond Butter (100% nuts) - you could sub this for peanut butter
50g Unsalted Butter
10g Truvia / Natvia / Pure Via Sweetener (adjust to taste)
Optional: 1 tsp Vanilla or Salted Caramel Essence

Caramel option #2 (Michele's Butterscotch Sauce)

150g Double Cream

Caramel optional #3

150ml Unsweetened Almond Milk
50g Unsalted Butter
55g Double Cream
20g Truvia / Natvia / Pure Via Sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 tsp Vanilla or Salted Caramel Essence

Topping

100g 85% Dark Chocolate

Optional Extra

20g Butter - to add to the chocolate, when melting, to stop the chocolate from cracking when you cut into it
or score the chocolate before it sets

Directions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
For the base, melt the butter and then add the remaining ingredients.
Mix until fully combined and then press into a lined small square baking tin (around 7") and bake for 15 minutes.
Whilst the base is in the oven, make caramel 1, 2 or 3 (see instructions below).
Allow the bases to cool slightly and then pour the caramel on top (keep the base in the tin). Spread the caramel evenly over the base and allow it to cool in the fridge.
Melt the chocolate and add sweetener or vanilla extract if needed. Pour the chocolate on top.
Leave these to set in the fridge.

Caramel option #1

Melt the butter and almond butter in the microwave and mix together.
Add the sweetener and vanilla / salted caramel essence and mix again. taste the mix and adjust the sweetener to taste.

Caramel option #2

Put the cream and sweets into a non-stick saucepan.
Gently heat the cream, allowing the sweets to melt. Stir continuously - it will thicken into a glossy sauce.

Caramel #3

Put the almond milk, butter and cream into a saucepan.
Gently heat, allowing the butter to melt whilst stirring continuously. This will bubble and reduce and should begin to thicken after around 15 minutes. Once the heat is turned off, the sauce may split slightly - just beat it back together before pouring it onto the base.
