0.67 cup (151 g) unsalted butter
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp cinnamon
0.25 tsp vanilla
1 cup (170 g) dark chocolate
0.25 cup (43 g) white chocolate
Cookware¶
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 freezer bag
- 1 bowl
- 1 spoon
- 1 square cake pan
- 1 non-stick pan
Instructions¶
Step 1¶
With a rolling pin, crush the shortbread cookies in a freezer bag. Put the crushed cookies into a bowl with the melted butter. Mix them together, then using a spoon, press the mixture into the base of a lined, square cake pan. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Step 2¶
Gently heat the dark brown sugar and ⅔ cup of butter in a non-stick pan, stirring until melted.
Step 3¶
Add the sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla, and bring to a boil, stirring continuously until the mixture has thickened slightly โ on a high heat for about 5 minutes.
Step 4¶
Pour the caramel over the base, then allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes. Once cooled, chill in the fridge or freeze until set โ around 1 hour.
Step 5¶
Melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls. Put them in the microwave for 30-second bursts on high and keep stirring until melted.
Step 6¶
Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel, then add spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate on top.
Step 7¶
Using a spoon, swirl them together until you get a marbled effect. Put the pan back in the fridge to set for another 30 minutes.
Step 8¶
When set, slice into squares and serve.
