All you do is mix everything together and then rub them between your fingers until they look like breadcrumbs. Then you press them into a baking tin and press down with your knuckles and that's it...they can go into the oven. Hey presto! <br />I'm happy you liked the recipe...but don't forget to let me know if you try it. Even if you just bake the shortbread without the caramel and chocolate. <br />Have fun :DNeesiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629847485174945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254134409987044782.post-7975368522480347132017-10-06T15:46:03.414+01:002017-10-06T15:46:03.414+01:00Phewph...yes I did Jenn, but I haven't managed...Phewph...yes I did Jenn, but I haven't managed this weeks assignment! <br />I appear to be hopeless at time management lately.

I'm having trouble with my time management. <br />I'm happy to hear that you liked my artwork and recipe... and also having a look back in time. I can't believe it was that long ago that I did that recipe on the blog. I was living in Melbourne then and obviously had time for baking. No such thing here it has to be said.<br />I'll pop across to visit you soon.

Mine have three ingredients and the secret is kneading them 20 minutes,using real butter, and light brown sugar.
