📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9x9-inch pan with parchment paper or foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about ⏱️ 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the salt and flour and mix on low speed until incorporated and the mixture forms crumbs.
3
Press the shortbread mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake until light golden, about ⏱️ 35-40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and allow the base to cool while you make the caramel.
4
Add the sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar and corn syrup to a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and whisk until melted and smooth. Add a candy thermometer to the pot, then continue stirring continuously over medium heat until it bubbles and reaches 225°F. This will take about ⏱️ 5 minutes from when the mixture starts to boil. Remove from the heat and add the salt and vanilla; carefully stir to combine (the mixture will spit and bubble a bit).

5
Pour caramel over the shortbread base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for about ⏱️ 30 minutes before adding the chocolate layer.
6
Place chocolate chips and heavy cream in a large measuring cup or medium sized bowl. Heat in ⏱️ 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Spread over caramel in a smooth layer. Chill for ⏱️ 2-3 hours, or until set.
7
Slice into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
