How to Make Chocolate Toffee Shortbread

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Press half of the dough evenly into the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. While the shortbread is baking, prepare the toffee topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the toffee thickens slightly.
  8. Remove the shortbread from the oven and immediately pour the toffee evenly over the baked layer.
  9. Bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the toffee is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let the shortbread cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave. Spread the melted chocolate over the toffee layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  12. Once set, break into pieces and serve. Enjoy!
