Vegan Salted Caramel Slice

I am obsessed with all things caramel. And chocolate. I also am not the greatest in the kitchen, so my amazing friend Rose Smith (instagram: @rosesmith, snapchat: @rosesmith1) made these for me for her weekly snapchat show called Shake and Bake. I “helped” (got in the way) and then got to eat these amazing treats! They are very rich so a little goes a long way, and all non-vegans loved them too. Enjoy!
