The caramel slice I just made is going to taste like crap.
How do I know? Well, it might be because the base got spread everywhere and is all uneven, courtesy the too-large pan. It could possibly be because, in the process of annihilating the smaller blue and white pot*, the caramel got all lumpy and burn-y. But I'll go with the fact that I used olive oil with the chocolate mix instead of, something, oh, I don't know, BLANDER.
I can't even cook something OUT OF THE FREAKING PACKET. I belong in a special facility. No, not for the deafblind. One where ovens do not exist.
*The larger blue and white pot fell prey to my cooking attempts not long after Matt and I met. Those pots had it in for me from day one.

You've never heard of caramel slice? What about the vanilla variant (also known in the charming Aussie slang as 'snot blocks')?

Don't know from any slice--we don't have any food called that here. And Wikipedia fale us. (It's offering random shit like French Onion Soup, Toaster, Rum, and McDonald's; don't ask me.)

Oh, and I wouldn't even begin to worry about the reference to a lamington tin. :) They really just mean a baking tray.

Olive oil? Weird... and possibly gross.
I can try to dig out the recipe for you if you want, I also know a brownie recipe to kill for.

And both recipes would be very gratefully accepted, if it's not too much trouble. I was trying a packet version of the slice simply to get a feel for consistency and such, but since that method has gone down like a lead balloon I might as well strike out and try it from scratch...
