RECIPE NOTES:

Golden syrup – also known as ‘light treacle’ in the UK, golden syrup is a thick, amber coloured syrup that tastes like toffee and is commonly used in baking. In this recipe, it gives the slice its signature, warm caramel flavour. It can be swapped for honey, light molasses, corn syrup or maple syrup if required, but the flavours of the slice won’t be quite the same as traditional ANZAC slice. I highly recommend using golden syrup where possible.
Cooling - the slice will be a little soft when first removed from the oven. So, allow it to cool slightly before attempting to lift it out of the baking tray. Leaving the sides of the baking paper a little longer on the edges will help you to easily remove the slice from the tray.
Storing - chocolate chip ANZAC slice can be stored in an airtight container for around 2 weeks. After 3 days, this slice will start to soften in the container but still tastes just as good! It can also be stored in the fridge.
Freezer friendly - ANZAC slice can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, allow the slice to cool completely and then cut into squares. Place the slices into an airtight container and separate any layers with baking paper. To thaw, leave them in the fridge overnight or place the slices at room temperature for half an hour or so. Perfect for popping into lunchboxes.
