Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 6 ounces dark chocolate (60% cacao)
- Sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and mix well.
- Gradually fold in flour and salt until a soft dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- For the caramel layer, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, and corn syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and thickened (about 5 minutes), then pour over baked shortbread.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl; pour it over the caramel layer, spreading evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Allow bars to cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for about an hour. Cut into squares or bars to serve.
