For the Shortbread Base

50g of caster sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
125g of plain flour
25g of cornflour
For the Caramel Centre
300g of toffees

Method
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).

Step 2

In the mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with the electric hand whisk.

Step 3

Add the flour and cornflour and continue to mix with the electric hand whisk until a crumb consistency is achieved, then pour the mix into the lined tin.

Step 4

Spread out evenly and push down so the crumbs form a smooth base, before baking for 15 minutes.

Step 5

Whilst the base is baking, put the toffees and double cream in the saucepan over a medium heat, constantly stirring until the toffees have melted and combined with the cream.

Step 6

Once baked, remove the base from the oven and pour the caramel over the top in an even layer.

Step 7

Allow the whole thing to cool.

Step 8

Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each time and then pour over the cooled base and caramel to form another even layer.

Step 9

Place the whole thing in the fridge to chill for at least an hour – longer is preferable before removing from the tin and portioning.
