- 1 cup (250 mL) semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled slightly
Directions
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8” x 8” (2 L) baking pan with parchment paper, overlapping the sides for easy removal.

Combine, in a medium bowl, flour and icing sugar. Blend in butter using a pastry blender or your fingers. Press mixture into prepared pan.
Step 3:
Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly golden.
Step 4:
Bring caramel flavoured sauce to a boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Stir constantly, cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Spread thickened mixture on top of baked shortbread. Let sit 10 minutes before topping with slightly cooled melted chocolate.
Step 5:
Pour melted chocolate evenly on top of caramel flavoured filling and spread to cover. Chill in refrigerator, 3 hours or until firm. Cut into bars.
Tips
To melt chocolate, bring 1-2” (2.5-5 cm) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Place chocolate in heat proof bowl and place bowl over boiling water. Ensure bottom of bowl does not touch the water. Remove saucepan from heat. Let stand 3 to 5 minutes and stir.
Reserve 1 tbsp (15 mL) of thickened caramel flavoured sauce to drizzle on top of chocolate layer.
