The other day, I took a look at my wonderful baking book and decided I wanted to make something from it. I didn’t get a chance to. In fact, Steve decided to pick it up, chose a recipe and sent me to the shop for any ingredients we didn’t have. Charming. But it was so worth letting him do the baking…I would never have been able to make anything as yummy as these!
Amazing baking book for a bargain price!

The Recipe
Makes 12
Prep time: 15 minutes, plus chilling and cooling time
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
160g plain flour
60g caster sugar
215g unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 x 397g tin of condensed milk
100g light brown soft sugar
2 tablespoons golden syrup
150g Sainsburys Belgian milk chocolate (we used Dairy Milk instead)
50g Sainsburys Belgian white chocolate (the only white chocolate we
could find in the village was Milkybar,so we used that…lol!)
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas mark 4.
2. In a food processor, whizz the flour, caster sugar and 115g
butter until it’s like breadcrumbs. Press into an 18cm square tin
and prick with a fork. Chill for 20 minutes, then bake for 30
minutes, until just turning golden. Cool in the tin.
3. In a pan, heat the condensed milk, brown sugar, syrup and the
remaining 100g butter. Bring to the boil, stirring all the time. Boil,
still stirring, for 5-8 minutes until thickened. Pour the caramel onto
the shortbread, then cool for 30 minutes.
4. Melt the milk and the white chocolate seperately. Pour the milk
chocolate on the caramel, then pour on the white chocolate. Swirl
with a skewer to create a marbled effect. Chill for 2 hours until set,
then remove from the tin and cut into squares.
And here is the finished result (super yummy!):
