Categories: Breads, Dairy, Chocolate
Yield: 24 servings

1 c Unsalted butter; softened
1/3 c Sugar
1 1/2 ts Vanilla extract
1 lg Egg yolk; room temp
2 c A-P flour
1/2 ts Salt

MMMMM----------------------CARAMEL FILLING---------------------------
14 oz Can sweetened condensed
- milk
1 c (packed) brown sugar
3/4 c Unsalted butter; in cubes
1/4 c Light corn syrup
1 ts Vanilla extract
1/4 ts Salt

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
1 1/2 c 60% cacao bittersweet
- chocolate baking chips
2/3 c Heavy whipping cream
Flaked sea salt; opt

Line a 13" X 9" pan with parchment, letting ends extend
up sides. In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and
vanilla until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg
yolk. In another bowl, whisk flour and salt; gradually
beat into creamed mixture.

Spread into prepared pan (dough will be sticky).
Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Bake
until edges are lightly browned and center is dry, 20-25
minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Meanwhile, in a large heavy saucepan, combine caramel
filling ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat,
stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to maintain a low
boil; cook and stir until mixture is amber colored and
reaches 225ºF/107ºC, 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat;
quickly pour over cooled crust. Let cool 15 minutes;
refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.

For ganache topping, place chocolate in a small bowl. In
a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour over
chocolate; let stand 5 minutes. Stir with a whisk until
smooth. Pour over caramel layer. If desired, sprinkle
with sea salt. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
Lifting with parchment, remove shortbread from pan. Cut
into bars. Store in an airtight container in the
refrigerator.
