Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Mix the flour, cornstarch, half of the butter, and sugar until you have a sandy dough.
  2. Spread it out on a rectangular baking sheet, press it down with the back of a spoon, and prick it several times with a fork. ≈ 3 min
  3. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the shortbread is golden brown, then let it cool.
  4. Melt the remaining butter with the brown sugar in a saucepan, add the condensed milk, and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Once the mixture takes on a caramel color, after about 3 to 4 minutes, pour it over the cooled shortbread. Place in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  6. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler and spread it over the caramel. Return to the refrigerator until it has set.
  7. Cut into strips using a sharp knife. ≈ 8 min
