The ingredients for Caramel Shortbread are:

First Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup butter
Second Layer:
1/4 cup corn syrup
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed - dark is best
2/3 cup sweetened condensed milk

Here is how you make Caramel Shortbread:

First Layer: Combine flour, confectioner's sugar and 1/2 cup butter, crumble together well. Press into an ungreased 8x8 inch pan. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Take out of oven and cool on a rack or baking sheet. Second Layer: Melt 3/4 cup butter and corn syrup in a heavy saucepan. Add the brown sugar and the sweetened condensed milk. Mix well; then bring to a boil. Boil for 4 minutes stirring constantly. It burns very easily when boiling. Remove from heat, then beat with a spoon until it thickens and gest blobby. You will need to take a moments rest now and then as you beat it. Pour the mixture over the first layer, and let chill overnight. Invert onto plastic wrap (this makes it easier to cut through the bottom). Cut into squares.Number of Servings: 16Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user ROBINZ61.
