I ended up having treat the bowl like a double boiler and gradually add tiny amounts of milk to the chocolate until it loosened up enough to be useable. Next time, I’m leaving the condensed milk out and just melt the chocolate by itself.

Thanks for the weights! So much easier and accurate.

They are so good! I ended up needing to add about 1/4 cup more butter to the shortbread to get it to the right consistency. I also don’t think it’s necessary to double the caramel if you double the recipe because it did make a lot. This is definitely a keeper though! I did see a comment of someone saying they wish the recipe has grams as well. If you’re wondering a single batch is:

•28g powdered sugar
•102g flour
•73g brown sugar

Not sure what went wrong

3/4 + 1 Tbs is 102 grams. If you have an iPhone (it may be on android as well) I would highly recommend downloading the app called “conversions”. The icon is a blue spoon and a green scale. You can choose the ingredient that you need to convert to grams. Enter the amount of cups and it will tell you the gram conversion.

I’d love to try these, but decided that’s too sketchy a quantity to risk my time + ingredients. It would be so helpful if you included the gram weights.

Use an 8″ brownie pan if you double the recipe.
Did your chocolate seize? Can you tell me more about how it happened?

I haven’t tried it, but these bars seem tailor made for it. Think you’d ever adapt this recipe to incorporate the IP?

So I wanted to know if I can make this ahead of time and store in the fridge?

I would make a small batch of magic cookie bars, in a loaf pan.

No, it’s for the whole pan. Sorry!

I too had an issue with the chocolate but I realized that I used semi sweet chips first so I got some milk chocolate chips and the microwave melting method worked perfectly. My caramel came out perfect the first time. These are sweet and delicious!
