- **Base:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Press dough evenly into a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Prick the dough all over with a fork.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- Let cool completely in the pan.
- **Caramel Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Continue to boil for 5-7 minutes, or until the caramel is thick and golden brown, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- Once cooled, pour the caramel evenly over the cooled shortbread base.
- **Chocolate Topping:**
- Melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is set.
- Cut into squares and serve.
