Ingredients

Shortbread Layer Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter 8 tablespoons, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp table salt

Caramel Layer Ingredients

  • 1 stick butter
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 tbsp light corn syrup 

Chocolate Layer Ingredients

  • 12 ounces milk chocolate 
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8 x 8 inch pan by lining it with foil, making sure to drape the foil over the edges, then spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray. The foil will make it easy for you to lift the bars right out of the pan.
  • For the shortbread layer: With your food processor, combine flour, sugar and salt and pulse a few times to combine. Add in small pieces of butter and pulse until you’re left with a crumbly mixture. Press this mixture into your prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the shortbread layer is a light golden color around the edges. Allow the crust to cool completely.
  • For the caramel layer: In a large, deep microwave safe bowl melt 8 tablespoons butter. This should take about 1 minute and 30 seconds. When the butter is melted, add the sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup. Whisk well until the butter is incorporated into the mixture. Microwave for about 6-8 minutes, making sure to stir the mixture every 30 seconds. At first it’s going to seem like something went wrong. Eventually the mixture starts to thicken and will change color to a light golden brown, that’s when you know it’s done.
  • Pour the caramel layer over the shortbread layer and allow to to set and cool to room temperature. You can speed the process along by placing it in the fridge for about an hour.
  • In a large microwave safe bowl, add in 12 ounces milk chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, then stir, then continue microwaving in 20 second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate over the cooled caramel layer, then sprinkle with sea salt and allow it to set for about 10 minutes, then place the bars in the refrigerator to cool completely for about 30 minutes.
  • Use the foil handles to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into pieces and serve.
