Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 28 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate (60% cacao)
  • Sea salt (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar until creamy. Gradually add flour and salt; mix until combined. Stir in egg yolk; press mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.

  4. Melt dark chocolate and pour over caramel layer; sprinkle with sea salt.
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least one hour to set completely. Cut into squares and serve.
