Break the dough into pieces and put into the prepared baking tin.

Step 6

Use your fingers to press the dough down evenly.

When the chocolate is fully melted, pour over the cooled chocolate caramel.

Step 15

Set aside while you melt the other chocolates.

In 2 separate bowls, melt the dark and milk chocolates over hot water, in the same way as the white chocolate. Put the chocolates in 2 piping bags and make random patterns over the white chocolate.

Step 17

When you’re done, put in the fridge so the chocolate sets.

Step 18

Take out of the fridge, slice into squares et voila!

Perfect chocolate caramel shortbread!
