Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Shortbread Base

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour Plus more for dusting
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter Cold, cubed
  • 0.25 cup Granulated sugar

Caramel Filling

  • 1 can Sweetened condensed milk
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
  • 0.25 cup Light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Golden syrup

Chocolate Topping

  • 12 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate Chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine flour, butter, and sugar. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press firmly into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • While the shortbread is baking, prepare the caramel. In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a golden brown color (about 10-15 minutes).
  • Pour the caramel over the baked shortbread. Bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly.
  • Let cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate and vegetable oil in a double boiler or microwave. Spread evenly over the caramel layer.
  • Let the chocolate set completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

For a salted caramel flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel layer before baking.
