Our super-baker Harriet is home from university for the summer and keeping us well supplied with sweet treats. Today's delights are chocolate, peanut, and salted caramel squares from Seasonal Baking by Fiona Cairns.
A shortbread base is covered with a salted peanut-studded caramel and topped with ganache, then smooth peanut butter is used to pipe the decoration - the Cairns version uses autumn leaves but Harriet ensured a fair distribution of squares by putting everyone's initials on them instead.
Truly scrumptious!
Yum! Lucky you!

I have never eaten Millionaires Shortbread, it always looks as if my teeth would start to ache the minute I bit into it.

Looks very scrummy! Must look into this peanut version. I use a recipe from a very old Sainsbury cookbook.

How divine! I am on the BSD (blood sugar diet) for eight weeks so these would be SERIOUSLY out of bounds...enjoy!
