Press the dough into a greased 28cm x 23cm rectangular cake tin lined with a baking paper, and bake in 190ºC preheated oven for 15 minutes. Leave the dough to cool in the tin.
Place NESTLÉ® Sweetened Condensed Milk , butter and brown sugar in a non-stick saucepan, cook and keep stirring over low heat for 5-6 minutes or until the caramel is pale golden and thick. Fold with the toasted almonds.
