Allrecipes.com comes through again!
Last week my mom asked me to make something for a bake sale going on at her office tomorrow. I rooted around on Allrecipes.com and came up with Caramel Shortbread Squares. I made them tonight.
Oh my god. They're like little Twix bars, only better. Good thing for me Mom is taking the lot out of the house tomorrow, otherwise I'd probably spend the day in a butter- and chocolate-induced haze. Definitely making them again.
If anybody wants to make them, make sure you grease and flour the pan first or you'll never get the shortbread out. And when you make the caramel layer, don't overcook it, and you have to stir it constantly--and I mean constantly. My hand's still twitching. The only other thing I changed is that I used half semi-sweet chocolate and half milk chocolate for the top, and added a little oil when I melted it.
Times like this are when I absolutely LOVE cooking. :)
