Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups flour
- 4 cups wrapped caramel squares
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees and spray a 9×13 pan with baking spray and line with parchment paper.
- In your stand mixer add the butter and beat until creamed and lighter in color, about a minute.
- Add the sugar, salt and vanilla and combine completely.
- Add the flour and combine until the flour is no longer visible, but no longer than that.
- Press evenly into the bottom of the pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Let the crust cool before adding the layers or the heat of the crust may absorb the caramel.
- In a microwave safe bowl add the caramel squares and heavy cream.
- Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave in 30 second increments.
- When it is melted enough to fully whisk together pour it over the shortbread crust.
- Tilt the pan until the caramel is evenly covering the shortbread.
- Put the pan in the fridge for 5 minutes and melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments. (It usually takes 2 to 3 times to fully melt).
- Add the chocolate over the cooled caramel shortbread.
- Let set in the fridge again before serving.
