- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup White Chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup Toffee Bits
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light, fluffy, and pale in color, about 3-5 minutes.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing just until the flour is incorporated and a soft dough forms.
- Gently fold in about half of the toffee bits into the shortbread dough using a spatula.
- Transfer the shortbread dough into the prepared pan and press it evenly into the pan using your hands or the bottom of a flat glass.
- Prick the surface of the dough all over with a fork and bake for 30-35 minutes until set and lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool completely in the pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the melted white chocolate evenly over the cooled shortbread in the pan and spread it to the edges. Immediately sprinkle the remaining toffee bits over the wet white chocolate, gently pressing them down.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate layer is completely set.
- Once chilled, lift the shortbread slab out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into small, bite-sized squares or rectangles.
