Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together room temperature butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Gradually mix in flour and vanilla, then press into a greased baking pan. Bake for about 20 minutes until lightly golden.
In a saucepan over low heat, combine six tablespoons of butter, corn syrup, granulated sugar, salt, and half a cup of heavy cream. Stir until melted; simmer for about 5 minutes. Pour over the baked shortbread.
Allow the caramel layer to cool for an hour at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Melt chocolate and remaining cream in another saucepan over low heat; pour over the chilled caramel layer.
After the chocolate sets for an hour, cut into squares and serve.
