Caramel

In a separate saucepan, combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt; bring to a boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 4 minutes longer without stirring.

Remove from the heat, gradually stir in the milk, return to the heat and reduce the heat to low. The mixture should be 244C. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla and pour the mixture over the chocolate mixture. Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours.

Lift the foil out of the pan, gently peel off the foil and cut into bars. In a microwave, melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Dip the bars in the chocolate to coat, allow excess to drip off and place on a plate lined with baking paper. Place in the fridge to set.
