Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Line an 18x27cm (7x11inch) rectangular cake tin with non-stick baking paper. Heat the oven to 180c.
  2. Place the butter and sugar for the shortbread into a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon until fluffy and light. Next, beat in the flour until it forms a soft dough. Press the mixture evenly into your cake tin and bake for 220-25 minutes until pale golden.
  3. Place the caramel ingredients into a large saucepan over a medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved, then turn the heat up and boil for 5-7 minutes, stirring all the time to ensure the mixture doesn't burn.
  4. The caramel is ready when it turns a deep golden colour and has thickened to a soft fudge consistency. Stir in a teaspoon of salt (trust me!) and then pour the caramel over the shortbread and leave to set for about an hour.
  5. Put the chocolate in a bowl on top of a small saucepan of simmering water and stir until melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel, and leave in a cool place to set. Once set, cut into squares and serve, or keep in a tin for up to 1 week.
