Shortbread
2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp black cherry flavoring
3 Tbsp milk
2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl beat together shortening, sugar, black cherry flavoring, and milk until creamy and well combined. Add all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on medium speed until the dough forms small clumps. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix once more. Press the mixture into a 9x9 inch pan, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Bake for 35-40 min. While still hot transfer to a cutting board and cut into rectangles.
Caramel
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Stir all ingredients together in a saucepan. Heat all ingredients over medium low heat until the sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Turn the heat up to medium and let caramel heat until it reaches 240F without stirring. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Transfer to a piping bag, then pipe caramel along the top of each piece of shortbread.
Tempered Chocolate
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Fill a small bowl with 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Heat at 50% power for 1 min intervals until the chocolate is 105-115F. Stir in additional chips until temp drops to 85-90F (you may not need all of them). Transfer to a piping bag and pipe chocolate over the top of the caramel. Allow the chocolate to set, enjoy!
