EXPERT TIPS
Pat the shortbread crust firmly into the pan with a spatula or the bottom of a glass.
Give each layer plenty of time to cool before adding the next one. It will make it much easier to spread the caramel and chocolate layers neatly and evenly.
If you’re using a glass pan, cool the crust in the refrigerator, not the freezer. The rapid temperature change can cause the glass to shatter.
