Ingredients

Shortbread Crust

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2/3 cups powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 12 tbsp unsalted butter

Caramel Layer

• 1 14- oz can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter cut into cubes
• 1 cup light brown sugar packed
• 1/4 cup dark corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Chocolate Layer

• 3/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 40ml cup heavy cream
• Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper
2. For the shortbread crust: Sift the flour into a large bowl. Then, sift in the powdered sugar and salt. Whisk together. Melt the butter and combine it in the bowl until crumbly.
3. Pour in the crumble mixture into the lined baking dish. Pat down the mixture with your hands. Bake for 20 minutes or until it is a light golden brown. Set aside to cool.
4. For the caramel layer: In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup.
5. Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk until melted and combined. Continue whisking over the heat while the caramel bubbles and darkens to a richer color. DO NOT stop whisking until the caramel is ready (~5 mins). The caramel is ready once it reaches 225F and starts to thicken and pull away from the edges. Remove from heat.
6. Pour the caramel layer over the shortbread crust and smooth to create a flat layer. Let chill until caramel sets (~10 mins).
7. Chocolate Layer: Chop chocolate and melt with cream either in a double boiler or microwaving in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between. Pour the chocolate over the caramel and smooth into an even layer. Sprinkle with sea salt and let chill.
8. Cut into small rectangles to serve. Enjoy!
