This is completely easy and delicious! Looking at the other reviews, you should probably be more concerned about the time in cooking the 2nd layer than the color. I had no trouble whipping this one up. Thanks, Claire!

This is the best dessert I have ever made! l love the richness. I did not use the proper sized pan, but it still turned out amazing. I also cut them into bars of all sizes so that everyone could have the size they wanted. My mother and i made it for my father's birthday and nobody could resist them! It is a must-make recipe!!!

This is a must make!!!! A bit time consuming because you have to wait for each layer to cool but well worth the wait.
As for the caramel, I just cooked it until it was thick. It was not dark brown but it was perfect. You should not have to cook longer than 15 minutes as the recipe says. Outstanding!!!!!

This is a great recipe. I made it and shared with some neighbor and friends we all LOVED it! One thing is to remember to make it in stages. First bake the shortbread and let it cool. Then when the shortbread is cool make the caramel. I see that other people had a difficult time with the caramel. I did too. I just cooked until it was the consistency of caramel never got really dark in color. It still came out delicous. Chocolate layer was the easiest. I microwaved some gool ol' Hersey's milk chocolate chips (1bag for 30 seconds. Can't wait to make it again.

Thanks Claire!!

I want to try this recipe but based on the reviews are concerned if I were to halve this recipe how it would turn out. Has anyone attempted to do this or used another pan other than the 8x8 as recommended?

I'm so sad some are having problems with this wonderful treat. When I make it I bake the shortbread at 375 for about 20 minutes, till lightly golden, pale, just golden around the edges. The condensed milk is cooked over a gentle heat stirring constantly until it comes to a boil then reduce the heat and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes until it is pale golden, about the color of light brown sugar, and thick and coming away from the sides. Pour the topping over the base and leave to cool.To the ones who think this is sweet, try Tablet, pure sugar! Remember the Scots are known for their sweet tooth.

I tried it...its was fabulous...but the first time i over cooked the caramel. Although claire demo's a deep rich colour on t.v if you cook it to brown too dark it will be too chewey and next to impossible to eat even though it tastes amazing. The second time i tried it ( yes... it was that worth it i cooked the condensed milk till it was just slightly brown in colour and it was absolutely perfect ( Not more than 15 mins. You must try it...your kids will love it... i know mine did !!
