Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Beat butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in flour and salt until just incorporated.
-
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 18 to 20 minutes until light golden brown; cool completely.
-
While the cookie base cools, combine unwrapped caramels and 2 tablespoons of cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
-
Microwave the caramels, stirring every 30 seconds, until fully melted and smooth.
-
Pour the melted caramel over the cooled shortbread, spread into an even layer, and refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
-
Melt chocolate or candy coating until smooth.
-
Using the foil, remove the caramel-covered shortbread from the pan and cut into finger-width bars.
-
Dip each bar into the melted chocolate until fully coated, then place on a foil-lined tray.
-
Refrigerate the tray for 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
