Best. Dessert. Ever.
225 g. plain flour
75 g. caster sugar
375 g. unsalted butter
379g. can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons golden syrup
325 g. plain chocolate
8x8 in sq. brownie tin or similar, greased and the bottom lined with waxed paper
Preheat the oven to 170 C/gas mark 3/325 F
Put the flour and sugar into a bowl and rub in 175 g. of butter,
clumping the dough together to make a ball. Press this sandy
shortbread mixture into the tin and smooth it down. Prick with a fork
and cook for five minutes, then lower the oven to 150 C/gas mark
2/about 320 F, and cook for a further 30-40 minutes until pale golden
and no longer doughy. let it cool in the tin.
Melt the remaining 200 g. of butter in a large microwavable bowl, then
add condensed milk and golden syrup. Whisk the mixture well until the
butter is thoroughly incorporated. Heat in microwave for 6-7 minutes
until boiling, stirring thoroughly every minute. It's ready when it's
thickened and turned a light golden brown. Pour this molten toffee
over the shortbread and leave to set. Melt chocolate and pour over the
fudge mixture and leave to cool. Once set, cut the caramel shortbread
into pieces. Makes about 24.

You should not assume everyone has a microwave and should include an alternative method.

Made this today - and oh my, is it good! Thanks so much. I put the tray in the fridge after a while to help set the caramel. Also I cut the slices before the chocolate was fully set, but a warm knife would work too. Enjoy!

Works really well - be careful if using the hob, the caramel can burn easily. 3rd time lucky it was brilliant and loved by all.
