Ingredients

Scale

8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
⅓ cup (73 g) packed light brown sugar (shortbread)
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ¼ cups (175 g) gluten-free flour blend
⅓ teaspoon xanthan gum
8 tablespoons (112 g) unsalted butter, chopped
1 ¼ cups (273 g) packed light brown sugar (caramel)
½ cup (168 g) light corn syrup
7 ounces (196 g) sweetened condensed milk
12 ounces (336 g) bittersweet/dark chocolate, chopped
¾ cup (6 fluid ounces) heavy whipping cream
Coarse salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
Mix shortbread: Cream butter, brown sugar, and salt until fluffy. Add gluten-free flour and xanthan gum; mix until dough forms. Firmly press dough into pan. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
Make caramel: Combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and condensed milk in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until golden and glossy (5-7 minutes). Pour over cooled shortbread. Let cool 20-30 minutes.
Melt chocolate layer: Whisk heavy cream with chopped chocolate until smooth. Spread over caramel using an offset spatula. Chill 1 hour or until firm. Cut into 1½x1½-inch squares using a warm knife. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired.

Notes

Use gluten-free flour with xanthan gum or add separately. For smoother results, let caramel cool to room temperature before spreading. Chocolate layer should feel firm when cut for clean bars. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
