Ingredients

Shortbread Crust

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar 
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 Tsp. Amoretti® Marshmallow Extract (W.S)
• 1 pinch of salt

Caramel

• 7 Oz or 1/2 can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter cut into small pieces 
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
•  2 Tbsp. corn syrup 
• 1/2 Tbsp. Amoretti® Natural Vanilla Bean Artisan Flavor

Chocolate Ganache

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup heavy cream 

Optional Garnish: dehydrated marshmallows and flakey Sea Salt

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 F and line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Keep aside.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl using a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Drop in the egg yolk and mix to combine.
• Add the marshmallow extract and mix well. 
• Add the flour and a pinch of salt and bring the dough together. Do not knead.
• Drop the dough into the prepped baking dish and press into the bottom to form an even layer. Smooth it out by pressing with a piece of parchment paper or your fingers.
• Bake at 350 F for about 15 minutes and you have a slightly golden color on top. Take it out and cool it on the counter.
• While the base bakes, make the caramel. In a saucepan, drop in all the ingredients, placing it over medium heat and keep whisking until everything is melted and bubbling. Stop once it starts coming off the sides of the pan.
• Pour onto the shortbread base and chill it in the fridge for half an hour.
• Melt the chocolate with the cream in the microwave in 20 second blasts until it is smooth and flowy. Pour it over the set caramel. (Can top with a sprinkle of flakey sea salt at this point.) Leave it to solidify at room temperature until done or in the fridge for an hour. 
• Take it out, slice it up and serve! Enjoy.
• Optional: You can garnish each slice with a drizzle of melted chocolate and a sprinkle of mini dehydrated marshmallows!
