Found in CI Nov/Dec 16, page 14

Shopping List

  • 3 sticks unsalted butter
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup golden syrup (or corn syrup)
  • 8-10 oz dark chocolate, 60-75%

Staples Used

  • 2.5 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar

Notes

The CI recipe calls for corn syrup, but golden is more authentic.
This is a bit more and darker chocolate than the recipe calls for. Fine, but don't go any thicker.
The recipe for caramel works, but it sits at 200 degrees or so for an astonishingly long time. Be careful of the bottom of the pan, which tends to caramelize too dark.
The grated chocolate is a pain in the butt. Try making it with less grated, and see how it works.
Note that it should be started day before, but is only about an hour or two of work.
Justin du Coeur (jducoeur) -- Millionaire Shortbread:Review
-- Solidly excellent, but makes a huge amount, so requires a party to serve it to.
