Ingredients

Shortbread

• 200g Unsalted Butter
• 100g Sugar and Crumbs Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar of your Choice 
• 275g Plain Flour

Caramel

• 25g Sugar and Crumbs Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar (of your choice)
• 1 Tbsp Light Brown Caster Sugar
• 200g Unsalted Butter 
• 4 Tbsp Golden Syrup
• 397g Can Condensed Milk
• Decoration 
• 200g Milk Chocolate 
• 100g White Chocolate 

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 160c Fan, 180C Gas Mark 3.  Line a 9×9 inch tin with parchment paper.

2. Shortbread- Combine the butter and sugar until creamy, then fold in the flour then beat until a dough is formed ( it will be a creamy dough.)

3.   Pour into the tin and spread evenly, bake in the oven for 30 mins or until golden.  Once baked take out and leave it to cool completely. (keep in the tin)

4.  Caramel – To make the caramel put all the ingredients in a heavy-based saucepan and melt over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, stirring all the time.  Use a spatula to stop the sugar from catching.

5.  Once dissolved turn up the heat and boil for 5-6 minutes until it turns golden and it has started to thicken, you should be able to see the bottom of the pan when stirring.

6.  Take away from the heat and pour over the shortbread.   Spread evenly.  Place in the fridge and leave to set for at least an hour.

7. Chocolate – Melt the milk chocolate in one bowl and the white chocolate in another.  Pour over the milk chocolate onto the caramel topping once it’s set, and blob the white chocolate.  Use a skewer to swirl the white chocolate into the milk chocolate.

8.  Place back in the fridge and leave to set for another hour.  Once the chocolate is set you can slice it into 9 or 12 squares depending on the size you desire.
