Ingredients

Shortbread:

  • 2 sticks butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for preparing pans
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing pans
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Caramel Layer:

  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Chocolate Topping:

  • 3/4 pound good-quality milk chocolate

Directions

Shortbread:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Butter 2 (8-inch) square nonstick pans and coat with flour, tapping off excess. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse once. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas. Press the shortbread mixture into prepared pans and bake until golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Caramel Layer:

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. Continue stirring over the heat until mixture becomes thick and amber in color, about 15 minutes. Pour the caramel over the cooked shortbread and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Cool to room temperature.

Chocolate Topping:

In a glass bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate. Once chocolate has melted, pour it over the cooled caramel layer. Cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then place in the refrigerator to cool completely, allowing chocolate to slightly harden but not get hard. Cut into 2-inch squares and enjoy, or store in an airtight container, at room temperature, or my favorite - keep in the refrigerator for a yummy sweet and cool treat!

    Love the ease and flavours of the cookies. They are very rich and a little goes a long way. What I didn't like was how difficult it was to cut into bars after letting the chocolate cool in the fridge. Next time I will try cutting before chilling.

    These tasted good, but they were so hard I could barely cut them. My kids threw the carmel part away and ate the cookie bottom and chocolate top. They said the carmel was just too chewy. If I make them again I think I'll take "creativecuts129's" advice and use the dulce de leche by Nestle.

    I thought these were awesome and I found nestle makes this dulce de leche in the can so you don't even need to make the caramel even better so easy everyone loved them thanks Claire
