Canadian School Toblerone Shortbread Cookie Bars



Makes 12

1 cup or 230g softened butter
2/3 cup or 165g caster sugar
21/4 or 400g plain flour
200g toblerone chocolate bar softened

preheat oven 165c . With electric beaters cream the butter and sugar until soft. Add flour and gently mix until combined. Pat firmly into a paper lined rectangular baking tray and bake for 20 min until light golden brown. Using a spatula or a flat spoon spread the softened chocolate evenly over the baked base. Cool completely. Using a knife mark squares so that it is easier to cut when the bars are safe. Refrigerate to set. Once set cut along pre marked lines into squares and serve.

Enjoy!
