Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Base
  • 1 cup gluten-free flour perfect for creating a crumbly texture without the gluten!
  • 1/2 cup butter adds richness and helps bind the ingredients together.
  • 1/4 cup sugar balances the flavors and sweetens the base nicely.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor profile of your shortbread.
For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk provides creaminess and sweetness to your caramel.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar deepens the flavor with its molasses notes.
  • 1/4 cup butter crucial for a smooth, silky caramel consistency.
For the Topping
  • 1 cup mini chocolate eggs these add a festive touch and a burst of flavor in each bite!
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips melts beautifully to create a luscious topping that complements the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, butter, and sugar until it resembles a crumbly dough. Press it firmly into a lined baking dish.
  2. Pop the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the base is lightly golden brown. Let it cool completely before moving on to the next layer.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt together sweetened condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar, stirring constantly. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until thickened and golden.
  4. Once your caramel has reached that luscious golden hue, pour it over the cooled base and spread evenly using a spatula. Allow it to set for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Melt your favorite chocolate (dark or milk) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour this dreamy chocolate over the caramel layer.
  6. Gently press gluten-free mini eggs into the melted chocolate while it's still soft. This adds that delightful crunch and colorful finish.
  7. Place your creation in the fridge for about 1-2 hours or until everything is firmed up nicely. Cut into squares once set and enjoy!
