A scrumptious treat combining shortbread, caramel and dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Shortbread
125g butter or margarine, softened
125ml (100 g) castor sugar
250ml (140 g) Snowflake cake flour
30ml cornflour
2ml salt
Caramel layer
80g butter or margarine
45ml golden syrup
385g can condensed milk
125 m (100 g) castor sugar
Chocolate topping
150g dark chocolate coarsely chopped
Method
- Shortbread: Cream butter and sugar together.
- Sift flour, cornflour and salt together. Add to butter mixture and mix well to a firm dough.
- Press into a greased pan of about 18 x 27 cm. Prick with a fork and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 160 °C and continue baking for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Caramel: Place all ingredients in a small, heavy-based saucepan and boil for 4 - 8 minutes, or until mixture thinks and turns golden brown in colour. Beat constantly to prevent burning. Remove from heat and spread over baked base and leave to cool until set.
- Topping: Melt chocolate in microwave or in a glass bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Spread over caramel layer and leave to set.
- Cut into squares just before chocolate sets. Store in an airtight container.
