HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE CARAMEL SHORTBREAD

Follow this simple 5-step caramel shortcake recipe to experience the ultimate blend of deliciousness and scrumptiousness!

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas mark 4. Cream together butter and Tate & Lyle Caster Sugar for the base until light and fluffy. Add the flour and stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Knead until smooth.

Step 2

Press this dough evenly into a 20cm square tin and prick the surface using a fork. Bake for 25-30 minutes, remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin.

Step 3

Meanwhile, place the filling ingredients into a saucepan and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to the boil slowly, then cook, stirring continuously for 5-7 minutes. Cool slightly, then pour over the biscuit and leave to set.

Step 4

For the topping, melt dark chocolate in a glass bowl over a pan of simmering water and spread over the caramel.

Step 5

Leave in the fridge to set and then cut into 12 squares with a sharp knife.
