Buttery shortbread topped with creamy homemade caramel and smooth milk chocolate — these Twix-style cookies are the ultimate layered treat.
Shortbread:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp salt
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
Caramel:
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter
2 tbsp golden syrup or corn syrup
¼ tsp salt
Topping:
1½ cups milk chocolate chips or chopped bars
1 tsp neutral oil (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment.
Cream butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add flour. Press dough into pan. Bake 20–22 minutes. Cool.
In saucepan, cook caramel ingredients over medium heat, stirring until thick and golden (10–12 minutes). Pour over cooled base. Let set.
Melt chocolate (with oil if using). Spread over caramel. Let set fully.
Slice and serve.
Use a hot knife for clean slices.
Add sea salt for a salted caramel finish.
Store in fridge or freeze for later.
