Chocolate Macadamia Squares

Submitted by MellowMel

"This is a slice that my guests kept sneaking back for, it is absolutely delicious. It's got macadamis, toasted which are FAB, caramel and and chocolate and...OK, it's not low fat but it's so rich that you don't need to eat a lot to feel satisfied. That's dieting too right? I couldn't find un-iced chocolate biscuits and substituted successfully with honey flavoured Tiny Teddies."
