What is Caramel Anzac Slice?
Caramel Anzac slice is a twist on the traditional Anzac biscuit, using the same base ingredients—rolled oats, coconut and golden syrup—but pressed into a slice and topped with a soft caramel layer.
It’s a popular variation for those who love a richer, slightly gooier version of the classic.
Tips For The Perfect Caramel Anzac Slice
A few simple tips will help you get the best result every time:
- Don’t overbake the base – it should be lightly golden, not too dark
- Let the caramel set properly before slicing
- Use good-quality golden syrup for the best flavour
- Press the base firmly so it holds together well
How To Get The Texture Just Right
This slice is all about balance:
- A slightly soft base gives a more traditional feel
- A firmer base holds up better for slicing and serving
- Letting it cool completely helps everything set properly
Storage and Freezing
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5–7 days
- Keep in the fridge if the weather is warm
- Freeze for up to 3 months
- Slice before freezing for easy portions
