Ingredients
For the shortbread:
- 75g caster sugar
- 150g butter
- 225g plain flour
For the caramel layer:
- 100g butter
- 50g golden syrup
- 1 can condensed milk (397g)
For the chocolate topping:
- 100g dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 50g milk chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 2 Cadbury Creme Eggs chopped into pieces
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°/160° Fan/Gas Mark 4 and line an 18x28cm baking tin with non-stick baking parchment.
- To make the shortbread, cream together the sugar butter until pale and fluffy. Then add the flour and mix to form a soft dough.
- Tip into the baking tin and spread it out with your fingertips to cover the base of the tin in an even layer.
- Bake the shortbread in the oven for 15 minutes until it’s golden, then remove it and set aside to cool.
- Next, make the caramel. Put all the ingredients into a medium saucepan and heat them gently until the butter has melted and the sugar dissolved, stirring occasionally.
- Increase the heat and bring the caramel to the boil, stirring frequently, allowing it to bubble for 5–10 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns a golden caramel colour.
- Pour the caramel on to the shortbread and smooth into an even layer. Put the tin in the fridge until the caramel has set.
- To make the chocolate topping, melt the dark and milk chocolate in a bowl in the microwave or over a pan of gently simmering water.
- When the mixture is completely smooth, pour it over the caramel layer, tapping the tin on the work surface so the melted chocolate settles in an even layer.
- Top with the Cadbury Creme Egg piece and use the tip of a knife to gently swirl the piece into the chocolate topping.
- Leave the shortbread to cool completely before cutting it into squares with a sharp knife.
