- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (divided)
- 1¼ cups milk or dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together salted butter and powdered sugar. Gradually add flour and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Press into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan and bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.
- For the caramel layer, combine additional salted butter, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, salt, and heavy whipping cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and bubbly; simmer for about 5 minutes without stirring. Pour over baked shortbread.
- For the chocolate topping, heat remaining heavy whipping cream in another saucepan until steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat; add chocolate pieces and stir until smooth. Pour over set caramel.
- Allow to cool at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least four hours until set.
