Peanut butter caramel
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions
Shortbread
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until creamy.
-
Add the egg yolk and vanilla and beat until well combined. Then, add the flour and mix until crumbly.
-
Press the shortbread mixture into the baking dish and evenly press down into the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges of the shortbread are golden. Allow the shortbread to cool while you make the caramel.
Peanut butter caramel
-
In a medium sauce pan on medium heat, add the condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla and stir continuously until the ingredients are combined.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to low while continuously stirring for 10-15 minutes. The mixture should be a caramel colour and thick.
-
Pour the mixture over the cooled shortbread crust. Place into the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Chocolate ganache
-
Heat up the heavy cream in the microwave until warm. In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and warm heavy cream and stir until smooth.
-
Take the baking dish out of the fridge and pour the ganache over the caramel and spread it evenly with a spatula. Feel free to make a nice design!
-
Press in the Reese’s chocolate into the ganache.
-
Allow the ganache to set before cutting. Enjoy!
