Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Base:

  • 250 g digestive biscuits
  • 100 g unsalted butter melted

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 can 397g condensed milk
  • 100 g golden syrup
  • 100 g unsalted butter

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • 200 g milk or dark chocolate
  • 50 g unsalted butter

Instructions
 

For the Shortbread Base:

  • Line an 8x8-inch baking tin with parchment paper.
  • Crush the digestive biscuits finely using a food processor or a rolling pin.
  • In a bowl, mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter until well combined.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the shortbread base. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the caramel layer.

For the Caramel Layer:

  • In a saucepan, combine the condensed milk, golden syrup, and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden color. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
  • Pour the caramel mixture over the shortbread base and spread it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until firm.

For the Chocolate Topping:

  • In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the caramel layer and spread it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, until firm.
  • Once the chocolate is set, remove the shortbread from the tin and cut it into squares. Serve and enjoy!
