Melted Dessert

I was asked to make a dessert for our annual Relief Society Christmas Activity. I found a recipe for Salty Carmel Shortbread squares on Pinterest decided to try those. It took some learning and cooking skills I had not yet done (candy thermometers, ect) but it turned out great. I made them the night before and left them to set and harden.


The next day I ran home from work, cut them into squares, plated them and was off to the activity. By dessert time they had melted into one big pile of shortbread and caramel. I don't know what happened, was the caramel to soft? Did I not let it boil long enough? Was the shortbread slippery (haha)? Needless to say, they did not get served for dessert at the Activity, some ladies chipped off a piece and ate it and told me it was delicious.

I took this picture as I started cutting because I was going to put it and the recipe on the cooking blog but I probably wont now.

Nedra told me to cut them up and roll them into balls, pushing the caramel and shortbread even closer, this however lead to melted balls on a plate. So, I don't think I will be making this recipe again!!
