Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (4.5 ounces) powdered sugar
- 2 cups (10 ounces) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup light corn syrup
- 1 cup (7.5 ounces) granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups (8 ounces) milk or dark chocolate
- ⅓ to ½ cup (3.5 ounces) heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the room-temperature salted butter and powdered sugar until fluffy.
- Add the pure vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Press the dough into the prepared baking dish and bake for 18-20 minutes until golden.
- Let the crust cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining butter with salt, corn syrup, granulated sugar, and half the heavy cream over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once it boils, bubble for a minute, then add the remaining cream and cook until it reaches the soft ball stage (about 8-10 minutes).
- Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and let it set for 30 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and ⅓ to ½ cup cream. Microwave until melted and smooth.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate the dish for 1-2 hours until the chocolate sets.
- Cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy!
