Steps
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 150C/300f (fan). Line a 23cm (9 inch), square cake tin with baking parchment.
- Step 2
Add the flour and butter to a food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- Step 3
Add in the caster sugar and salt, then pulse again until the mixture combines and starts to clump together.
- Step 4
Spoon the mixture into the lined cake tin.
- Step 5
Spread the mixture out and push it flat with the back of a spoon, so it reaches the edges. Try to make sure the shortbread is as flat and even as possible.
- Step 6
Bake the shortbread in the oven for 30 minutes, then remove from the oven and leave to cool a little (still in the tin), while you make the salted caramel.
- Step 7
Add the butter, condensed milk, golden syrup and salt to a small pan, and heat on a low heat, stirring constantly, until the butter has melted.
- Step 8
Turn the heat up to medium-high and allow to simmer, stirring constantly, for 6-8 minutes, until the mixture thickens and turns to a golden caramel colour.
- Step 9
Turn off the heat and very carefully pour the mixture over the shortbread in the tin.
- Step 10
Smooth the caramel layer out, into an even layer, then place the tin in the fridge for at least an hour (or up to 3 days, if you want to make this bit ahead)
- Step 11
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second bursts (stirring in between each burst) or use a bain marie if you prefer.
- Step 12
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel in an even layer.
- Step 13
Sprinkle with the toasted hazelnuts and allow to cool completely, for at least an hour, at room temperature.
- Step 14
Cut into 9 large squares, or 36 bite-size squares and serve.
