Ingredients

• 226 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 280 grams all-purpose flour
• 120 grams toffee bits
• 115 grams dark chocolate
• 85 grams white chocolate

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the toffee bits using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Press the shortbread dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or your hands.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let the shortbread cool completely in the pan.

Step 8

While the shortbread cools, melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate in separate bowls using a microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

Step 9

Once the shortbread is cool, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top using a spoon. Then, drizzle the white chocolate in a crisscross pattern to create a marbled effect. Use a toothpick or knife to gently swirl the chocolates together for a more pronounced marbling.

Step 10

Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before removing the shortbread from the pan.

Step 11

Once set, lift the shortbread out using the parchment paper overhang and slice into 16 squares or bars.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your marbled toffee shortbread with friends, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
