Servings: 12 bars
Calories: 350kcal
Ingredients
Shortbread Base
- 1 cup butter, unsalted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 egg yolks room temperature
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 2 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Caramel
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar packed
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup butter, unsalted
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate Ganache
- 10 ounces dark chocolate
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Shortbread Base
- Heat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar. Add egg yolks and extract. Mix. Stir in flour and salt. Press into a 9×9 pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or just until the edges get golden. Let cool.
Caramel
- As the shortbread cools, bring sugar, syrup and butter to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Simmer until the sauce darkens, about 5 minutes. Add condensed milk and stir continuously as you bring to a boil. Do not stop stirring. Not once. Even if the shortbread is burning and the dog HAS to go out. Trust me and my first batch of burned caramel that this is not one of those recipes that you can cheat on. Boil for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Take off the heat and add vanilla.
- Pour over the shortbread and spread until even.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a small saucepan over low heat, add chocolate and heavy cream. Stir as the chocolate melts.
- Spread evenly over the caramel layer.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into squares and enjoy!

Great. I make this now and then myself. I tried adding banana to the caramel, it was amazing.
