Mmm ... luscious salted caramel over a shortbread base layer, and then topped with chocolate. It's my version of Millionaire's shortbread, of course. But with my favourite salted caramel. Not too salty, and just enough to take the edge off the sweetness. These were definitely one of our Sweet Cafe classics and always on the counter. It took me a little while to play around with the flavours and get the balance just right, but I think this is pretty much one of the best bakes I came up with. The recipe itself is fairly simple but it needs to be done in stages, allowing time between each to cool. The good thing about this is that you can fit it around other things (see the tip below!).
