Critical Success Points

  • Do not over‑knead the shortbread dough to keep its tenderness.
  • Cook the caramel for 2 h 30 min uncovered to achieve the right consistency.
  • Cool the caramel before applying to prevent it from running.
  • Freeze the biscuits before chocolate coating so the chocolate sets quickly.

Safety Warnings

  • The caramel reaches very high temperatures; handle with heat‑resistant gloves.
  • Melted chocolate can splatter; avoid any skin contact.
  • Use oven mitts to remove the sheets from the oven.
