Ingredients
For the Shortbread Crust:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
For the Fudge Topping:
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate finely chopped
- sweetened condensed milk 14 ounce can
- 2 unsalted butter 1/2 tablespoon; cut into small bits
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce salted
- 1/2 cup pecan toasted, roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flaky
Instructions
For the Shortbread Base:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing two of the sides to overlap. Spray the parchment - and any exposed pan - with non-stick baking spray; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, beat the butter, vanilla extract, confectioners' sugar, and salt until light and fluffy; about 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually beat in the flour, mixing just until combined. The mixture will be a little crumbly.
- Dump the mixture into the prepared pan and spread (or press firmly, if need be) it into an even layer. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool while you prepare the fudge topping.
For the Fudge Topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, sweetened condensed milk and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on low, in 30 second increments, stirring in between each increment, until the chocolate is completely melted; stir mixture smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. Spread mixture over the shortbread, smoothing with a spatula into an even layer. Pour salted caramel on top of the chocolate mixture, then sprinkle with the toasted pecans. Refrigerate until firm; about 2 hours. Cut into small squares and serve.
