METHOD

Step 1.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2.
For the shortbread layer, beat 225g unsalted butter and 80g caster sugar until fluffy. Mix in 300g plain flour until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the tin and bake for 20 minutes until pale golden. Let cool.
Step 3.
For the caramel, combine 175g unsalted butter, 175g soft dark brown sugar, and 397g of condensed milk in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened. Pour over the cooled shortbread and leave to cool, then chill in fridge until set.
Step 4.
For the chocolate layer, melt 200g dark chocolate and 100g milk chocolate together. Spread over the chilled caramel and let set. Cut into squares.
Step 5.
Chill the slices in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
