    _____________________________
    INGREDIENTS
    SHORTBREAD BASE
    150 Non-dairy butter *
    75g Caster sugar
    275g Plain flour
    Pinch of salt
    CARAMEL
    200g pitted dates (220g for a firmer caramel)
    150g Non-dairy butter
    150g Light soft brown sugar
    2 tsp Caramel flavouring (optional) (or vanilla essence perhaps)
    CHOCOLATE TOP
    200g Plain/Dark Chocolate (CHECK INGREDIENTS)
    A sprinkle of chopped hazelnuts (optional)
    OTHER STUFF
    Baking dish (mine is 22x22cm OR 8.5x8.5 inches)
    Baking paper
    Blender
    METHOD
    SHORTBREAD BASE
    1. Preheat oven to 180C (350F)
    2. Mix the butter and sugar into a smooth paste.
    3. Add the flour and salt and mix until well incorporated.
    4. Roll the mixture between your thumb and fingers to make it more fine.
    5. Butter or oil a baking dish and place baking paper inside. The butter/oil will hold the baking paper to the dish.
    6. Pour in the shortbread mixture, even it out, press it with your fingers then a flat-bottomed glass (or similar) until it's fairly solid. Prick the top with a fork all over.
    7. Put into the oven for 20 to 30 mins or until the edges start to turn golden-brown.
    8. Allow to cool in the fridge.
    CARAMEL
    1. Chop the dates into small chunks. This makes it easier to blend them later.
    2. Add all of the caramel ingredients to a saucepan. Put on a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Just takes a couple of minutes.
    3. Pour the mixture into a blender and blend until it's smooth.
    4. Pour evenly onto the shortbread base, getting into all the corners.
    5. Place in the fridge for around 20 mins (or until it's touch dry) before pouring the chocolate over.
    CHOCOLATE TOP
    1. Break the chocolate up into a bowl.
    2. Put it into a microwave at half power for 30 seconds then mix. Microwave for another 15 seconds and mix. Repeat the 15 seconds, mix, 15 seconds, mix procedure until the chocolate has melted.
    3. Pour the chocolate evenly over the shortbread/caramel. Use a spatula or similar to spread the chocolate evenly over the whole thing.
    4. OPTIONAL: Sprinkle some chopped hazelnuts or whatever you like on top.
    5. Place in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate has set.
    TO CHOP
    1. Use a serrated knife to make all the cuts through the chocolate first. Then use a regular knife to get through the caramel and the base. Using a regular knife on the chocolate will push down on the chocolate, causing the caramel to squeeze out.
    2. Store the finished cakes in the fridge, otherwise the caramel will melt.
    TIPS & NOTES
    - I used 200g of dates in mine which made a squeezey gooey caramel. Use 220g for a slightly firmer consistency.
    - You can freeze these. Just let them thaw in the fridge for a few hours whenever you want some.
    - Be careful about getting the baking paper stuck in the shortbread mix. You don't want a mouthful of baking paper . . . do you?

      I've made the dislike count public so that you can decide whether this video is worth your time.
      I worked hard on these videos and, as a relatively small creator, I was very proud of my (mostly good) like/dislike ratios.
      Hard work and a good ratio will encourage others to watch videos which I think is great for new or small channels.
      I hope you are all well. I'm doing great. Thank you for the fun times.

    I think the reason your blender had trouble with the caramel sauce is because you used the milling blade meant for making things into powder? I use a nitro ulcer and Two blades like that is for making nuts etc into powder, and then there’s one with 6 blades at different angles that blends other things much better. :)
