Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 400 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 150 grams Light brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons Golden syrup or light corn syrup
• 200 grams Milk chocolate (chopped or chips)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together 200 grams of softened unsalted butter and 100 grams of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Gradually add 250 grams of all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix until it forms a soft dough.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking tin to form the base. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to smooth it out.

Step 5

Bake the base in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden around the edges. Remove and allow it to cool completely.

Step 6

While the base cools, prepare the toffee layer: In a medium saucepan, combine 400 grams of sweetened condensed milk, 150 grams of light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of golden syrup, and 100 grams of unsalted butter.

Step 7

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring continuously, until it thickens and turns a golden caramel color. This usually takes about 10–12 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.

Step 8

Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the cooled shortbread base, spreading it out with a spatula. Allow it to set at room temperature for about 1 hour or until firm.

Step 9

Once the toffee is set, melt 200 grams of milk chocolate with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in short bursts).

Step 10

Pour the melted chocolate over the toffee layer and spread it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Give the tin a gentle shake to smooth the surface if needed.

Step 11

Let the chocolate topping set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.

Step 12

Once fully set, remove the toffee fingers from the tin and use a sharp knife to cut them into 16 bars or fingers.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
