Method

1. Set the oven to 160C/gas2. Lightly grease a 20cm x 33cm oblong/ Swiss roll tin.

2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and whizz together until they form a smooth dough (if preferred this can be done by hand in a bowl).

3. Press the mixture into the base of the Swiss roll tin and prick with a fork. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden and firm. Set aside to cool.

4. To make the topping, place the butter, sugar, syrup and condensed milk into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter has melted. 

5. Bubble the mixture gently for five to eight minutes, stirring all the time until thick and fudge-like. Pour over the cold shortbread in an even layer. Leave to cool.

6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. 

7. Pour the chocolate over the toffee and leave to set. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight tin.

Tried this last night and it was amazing! I did use an extra 200g milk choc in with the plain as the recipe quantities semed to thin a layer.

hey you can cut it into pieces without the fudge squirting out,,by dipping the knife in very very hot water and then cutting the pieces.....its foolproof Wink lolxx

i absolutely love this recipe and think the proportions make enough for my friends and family. by the way, to the person who asked about how to cut the pieces without squidging the caramel i find that if you cut the pieces whilst the chocolate is still a bit soft, there is not as much pressure on the caramel-therefore it does not squidge out. hope that helps!
