Well, then, this is the recipe for you!

These chocolate caramel squares are a delicious layer of shortbread, topped with some homemade stovetop caramel, and then finally topped with chocolate icing. These have long been a family favorite and they are even included in the special cookbook that my Mom made for my wedding present. Although I don’t make them often, they are such a special treat and are enjoyed by everyone!

It’s simple and delicious, and I think that it will become a tried and true family favorite of yours, too!

 Although these do not need to be refrigerated, we have found that they taste best and hold their shape best if refrigerated.

Suzanne Hines
Hi, I'm Suzanne! I am a Christian, wife to Theo, Mom to Tera Evelynne (18 months) and foster Mom to some of the most precious foster kiddos placed in our home. I grew up far, far away from Dayton as a missionary kid in West Africa. After graduating from my international high school, I attended Cedarville University. A few months into my freshman year, I met an incredible man named Theo. Although I had sworn off dating, there I was...dating him! We were married by my junior year and the rest is history! We stuck around the area and I am now proud to call the Dayton area home. Theo works for the Dayton Fire Department and I am a stay at home Mom. Most of my day consists of chasing children, feeding children, cleaning up after children and driving them all around to their various appointments (foster care makes for A LOT of driving!!). In my spare time (har har har), I love to cook, run, browse Pinterest and Instagram and read books and maintain my blog (www.suzannehines.org). My family loves to explore outside, to attend festivals and events and to find frugal ways to live in the Dayton area. My favorite thing about motherhood is watching my children develop their own little personality! How did I create this walking, talking, living, breathing, giggling, kissing human being?!? What a miracle!
