INGREDIENTS
- Base: 120g salted butter
- 180g all-purpose flour
- 60g granulated brown sugar
- Toffee: 120g granulated brown sugar
- 120g salted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
- Chocolate Coverage: 1 tablespoon butter
- 300g dark or milk chocolate
INSTRUCTIONS
- Base: Mix softened butter with flour and granulated sugar until a crumbly dough forms (flour should be completely mixed in). Spoon this mixture into a tin (a square baking tin, 20×20cm greased and base-lined with baking parchment or paper) and, very lightly, press to make an even layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about thirty-minutes or just until shortbread begins to colorue. Remove from oven and cool completely.
- Toffee: Over medium heat, mix together the sweetened condensed milk, butter, honey and brown sugar until caramel forms (it should be golden). Stir the entire time, to avoid burning. It may feel like the mixture is sticking to the pan, but as long as no black or dark brown bits come up, you’re fine, that’s why you’re stirring constantly. Once you’ve reached a beautiful golden color, remove from heat and pour the finished product over the shortbread crust. It will cool quickly, be fast in spreading. Allow to cool about one hour.
- Chocolate Coverage: melt your chocolate and butter in the microwave or in a heatproof bowl. Once melted, pour over the caramel layer, smoothing and spreading if needed and let cool in the refrigerator. An hour later or the next day, cut into small squares with a sharp knife. Eat all of them… and enjoy!

Here's a good non-metric version courtesy of the Food Channel
Ingredients
Shortbread:
2 sticks butter, cut into small pieces, plus more for preparing pans
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for preparing pans
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Caramel Layer:
2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
2 tablespoons butter
Chocolate Topping:
3/4 pound good-quality milk chocolate
Directions
Shortbread:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter 2 (8-inch) square nonstick pans and coat with flour, tapping off excess. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse once. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas. Press the shortbread mixture into prepared pans and bake until golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Caramel Layer:
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. Continue stirring over the heat until mixture becomes thick and amber in color, about 15 minutes. Pour the caramel over the cooked shortbread and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Cool to room temperature.
Chocolate Topping:
In a glass bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate. Once chocolate has melted, pour it over the cooled caramel layer. Cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then place in the refrigerator to cool completely, allowing chocolate to slightly harden but not get hard. Cut into 2-inch squares and enjoy, or store in an airtight container, at room temperature, or my favorite - keep in the refrigerator for a yummy sweet and cool treat.-COLLAPSE
