Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 14 ounces caramel candies, unwrapped
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture. Stir until just combined.
  4. Press the dough evenly into your prepared pan and prick the surface with a fork.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges turn lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  6. Combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave until smooth.
  7. Pour the melted caramel over the cooled shortbread base and refrigerate until firm.
  8. Lift the slab out of the pan and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  9. Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil and dip each piece into the melted chocolate.
  10. Place the chocolate-coated bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set.

Notes

Use room temperature butter for the best texture. Work quickly with the caramel layer to prevent thickening. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
