Ingredients
For the base:

175g unsalted butter
75g caster sugar
For the caramel layer:
150g unsalted butter
150g light muscovado sugar
1 can of condensed milk (397g)
For the chocolate topping:
200g milk chocolate
25g unsalted butter
Instructions
Step 1: Making the base
Preheat your oven to 180°C/gas mark 4.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the flour and caster sugar.
Melt the butter in a pan and then add it to the flour mixture. Mix well until it forms a dough.
Press the dough into a greased 8-inch square baking tin and prick all over with a fork.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Set aside to cool.
Step 2: Making the caramel layer
In a large saucepan, melt the butter and sugar together over a low heat.
Add the condensed milk and stir continuously until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel colour. This should take around 10 minutes.
Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread base and spread it out evenly. Leave to cool and set for at least 1 hour.
Step 3: Making the chocolate topping
Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread it out evenly.
Leave to cool and set for at least 30 minutes.
Step 4: Serving
Once the chocolate has set, remove the shortcake from the tin and cut into squares.
Serve and enjoy!
