- 1 cup (226g) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (for shortbread)

- ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream

Instructions
- Prepare Shortbread: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment paper. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Press into pan and bake 20-25 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
- Make Caramel: In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, heavy cream, corn syrup, and salt. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring until 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and 2 tbsp butter. Pour over cooled shortbread. Let set 1-2 hours at room temperature or 30 mins in fridge.
- Add Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips until smooth. Pour evenly over set caramel, spreading to edges. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Let chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the fridge (30-60 mins).
- Cut and Serve: Lift bars from pan using parchment. Warm a sharp knife under hot water, wipe dry, and cut into desired bar sizes. Wipe knife after each cut for clean edges. Enjoy!
