Critical Success Points

  • Pressing and compacting the shortbread base evenly.
  • Baking shortbread to proper golden color (not under or overbaked).
  • Cooking caramel to exactly 240°F while stirring constantly.
  • Pouring and spreading caramel quickly and evenly.
  • Melting chocolate gently (no water contamination).
  • Slicing with a hot, clean knife for neat bars.

Safety Warnings

  • Caramel is extremely hot and can cause burns; use caution when stirring and pouring.
  • Keep water away from melted chocolate to prevent seizing.
  • Use oven mitts when handling hot pans.
