These Caramel Shortbread Squares are a Buttery Shortbread with Sweet Caramel with a Milk Chocolate topping. Sinful!
I recently made a batch of these Caramel Shortbread Squares for a camping trip we were taking with the in-laws. Between the 4 of us, we ate the whole pan in two days! There is no way you will be able to resist the flavor of these bars.
When you think about it, who doesn’t like caramel and chocolate? Layer that over a shortbread base and you have heaven! Personally, I like my bars to be nice and thick. But if you prefer a thinner bar, simply use a larger baking pan.
