This is my most favourite ‘sweet’ recipe from Mary Berry(OoOoh I love that gal :))Make it! you will be sooo popular 🙂...and make sure you send me some! 😉

INGREDIENTS

For the base

• 225g plain flour
• 100g caster sugar
• 225g butter
• 100g semolina

For the topping

• 175g butter
• 175g caster sugar
• 4 tbsp golden syrup
• 1 x 397g can condensed milk

• 200 g dark chocolate, broken into pieces

  Method

  1. Set the oven to 160C/gas2. Lightly grease a 20cm x 33cm oblong/ Swiss roll tin.

  2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and
  whizz together until they form a smooth dough (if preferred this can be
  done by hand in a bowl).

  3. Press the mixture into the base of the Swiss roll tin and prick
  with a fork. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden and firm. Set
  aside to cool.

  4. To make the topping, place the butter, sugar, syrup and condensed
  milk into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter has
  melted.
  5. Bubble the mixture gently for five to eight minutes, stirring all
  the time until thick and fudge-like. Pour over the cold shortbread in
  an even layer. Leave to cool.

  6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. 

  7. Pour the chocolate over the toffee and leave to set. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight tin.
