List of Ingredients




Shortbread Base:
1 1/2 C flour
6 Tbs. sugar
4 1/2 oz butter, softened

Carmel Fudge & Chocolate Crown:
3 oz butter
10 Tbs Brown Sugar
4 C light cream

6 oz. dark chocolate
6 oz. milk chocolate
6 oz. white chocolate



Recipe



SHORTCAKE:
Mix flour and sugar in a bowl. Work in the butter, a little at a time, until it resembles fine crumbs. Kneed "dough" for 1 minute, and then press into the bottom (make small ridge at sides) of a buttered pan (18x11x1) Bake @350 for about 20 minutes or until light brown & firm to touch. Cool completly.

Caramel "fudge":
Put brown sugar and cream in a sauce pan over med - low heat until sugar has melted. Increase temp. and stir constantly to bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes until very creamy and honey colored. (may take longer in humid weather). Pur on top of shortbread - smooth to edges and let cool, then refrigerate.

When the caramel "fudge" layer has set AND is completly cold ......

Melt the different chocolates (each in it's seperate bowl) over a waterbath ***(see note below) Drop it, alternting types, by teaspoonfulls on top of the caramel layer ... Grab pan firmly and move in HARD circular motion on work surface - then reverse direction or move back and forth vigerously (this thins out and "blends" the chocolate a bit to run together and form patterns). At this point, you can run a knife point thru the chocolate to make more intricate, marbled patterns.

Place in fridge until set - cut into squares or bars. Very rich and decadant ... Definatly worth a million!

*** NOTE:

I place a Large pot of water to boil .. and place chocolates in 3 small pyrex bowls ... place the pyrex bowls in an empty saute pan, on top of the boiling water, until melted ... This will keep the chocolates warm and pliable as you alternate them.
