Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Base
  • 1 cup butter (softened) Use vegan butter for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 cups digestive biscuits (crumbled) Ensure crumbs are fine for a better texture.
For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
For the Chocolate Topping
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix the softened butter and brown sugar until creamy.
  3. Gradually add the crumbled digestive biscuits and mix until it resembles wet sand.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the lined baking dish to form an even layer.
  5. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk and caramel sauce, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat once melted.
  6. Pour the caramel mixture over the shortbread layer, spreading it evenly.
  7. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler, then pour over the caramel layer.
  8. Allow the layers to cool for about 30 minutes; for quicker results, refrigerate.
  9. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Allow to thaw in the fridge overnight before serving. Avoid reheating them in the microwave.
