Instructions                           

1.       Preheat your oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line a 9x9inch Deep Square Tin with Parchment Paper.

2.       Cream together the Sugar and Butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until smooth – mix in the Flour, Ginger, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and allspice until a dough is formed. It will be crumbly but the ingredients will be evenly dispersed!

3.       Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of the tin and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until pale golden on top!

4.       Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to the side.

5.       In a large saucepan pour the Condensed milk, Butter, Sugar, and Golden Syrup and melt on a medium heat till the sugar has dissolved – stir frequently to stop anything from catching.

6.       Once the sugar has dissolved, turn the heat up high and let the mixture come to boiling point and boil for 5-7 minutes stiring constantly so that the mixture doesn’t catch. BE CAREFUL as the mixture is VERY hot and can burn you if it splashes back! 

7.       The mixture will be ready when it has changed to a slightly darker golden colour, and has thickened to a soft fudge texture!

8.       Pour the caramel onto the shortbread base and leave to set for an hour in the fridge.

9.       Once set, melt the Chocolate, stir in the Ginger, and pour over the caramel. 

10.   Put some crushed and whole Gingerbread Men on top of the Chocolate, along with some of your favourite sprinkles, and leave to set in the fridge until solid. About 1-2 hours!

11.   Cut your shortbread up, and enjoy!
