Ingredients
  

Ingredients for the shortbread base:

  • 1 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt 
  • 2 cups of all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Ingredients for caramel:

  • 1 bag of Kraft caramels
  • 1/4 stick of butter 
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

Method for cookies:

  • Using a stand mixer beat the butter and sugar till pale and then add the vanilla. 
  • Add all the dry ingredients one large table spoon at a time and mix till incorporated. Don’t over mix it. 
  • Flatten it into a 10x10 square baking dish 
  • Poke holes in the dough and bakeat 375 till golden brown

Method for caramel:

  • In a heavy bottom pan, add all ofthe above ingredients and let it melt into a creamy consistency. Make sure youkeep stirring it so that it doesn’t stick and burn. Keep stirring and you’llend up with a creamy, buttery caramel. 
  • Pour the caramel onto the baked cookie base and spread evenly. 
  • Immediately add your chocolatechips and let it melt. Make sure you use really good quality chocolate becauseit makes all the difference. I use a combination of milk and darkchocolate. 
  • Spread it all over the caramel gently so that you have 3 separate layers. 
  • Let it cool till firm. I usually pop it into the fridge for a short time then cut into squares and enjoy.
