HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 9x9inch Deep Square Tin with Parchment Paper.

Step 2

Cream together the Sugar and Butter until smooth – add in the flour and mix again.

Step 3

Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until pale golden on top! Remove from the oven once baked and leave to cool.

Step 4

In a large saucepan pour the Condensed milk, Butter, Sugar, and Lyle’s Golden Syrup and melt on a medium heat till the sugar has dissolved – stir frequently to stop anything from catching.

Step 5

Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and let the mixture come to boiling point and boil for 5-7 minutes stirring constantly so that the mixture doesn’t catch.

Step 6

Once boiled, add in a small amount of red food colouring and stir through.

Step 7

Pour the caramel onto the shortbread base and leave to set for an hour in the fridge.

Step 8

Once set, melt the Milk/Dark Chocolate and pour over the caramel.

Step 9

Melt the White Chocolate and create a spooky style - try ghosts, spider webs, and so on!

Step 10

Add on your spooky sweets, and leave to set fully in the fridge! Enjoy!
