Ingredients

• 1 ¼ Cups (cup) all-purpose flour
• ⅔ Cup (cup) unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ Cup (cup) white sugar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• ½ Cup (cup) unsalted butter
• ½ Cup (cup) packed light brown sugar
• ½ Cup (cup) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) light corn syrup
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) coarse sea salt
• 1 ¼ Cups (cup) dark chocolate chips
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) unsalted butter
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) coarse sea salt, to taste

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, softened butter, sugar, and salt until the mixture is well blended and crumbly. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the shortbread is dry and light golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
4. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, condensed milk, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly with a whisk until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue boiling for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 3 minutes until smooth. Stir in the sea salt.
5. Pour the caramel over the baked shortbread crust. Allow it to sit at room temperature until the caramel begins to firm up, approximately 2 to 3 hours.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue to heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
7. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly to cover completely. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt for a delightful contrast.
8. Chill the bars in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes. Use a knife warmed with hot water to cut into squares for clean edges. Enjoy your decadent treat!
