The caramel, similar to the shortbread above, has had the portions decreased to suit the tin I used within the recipe, however the recipe is identical as my traditional again to fundamentals millionaires shortbread.

As a result of the shortbread and caramel is extra sticky in comparison with the opposite bakes, I did line the edges of the holes with a small quantity of parchment paper to make it simpler to get out, however usually it’s fairly non stick. I simply lower out small strips, and put them across the edge. Pushing the shortbread down helped stick the paper in place.
