Ingredients

Instructions

  • Cream the butter and sugar together with a wooden spoon.
    50 g caster sugar (superfine sugar), 125 g unsalted butter
  • Add the flour and mix well, bringing the dough together with your hands into a ball.
    150 g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of folded baking paper (which will go in the slow cooker) and press it down into a circle shape about 2 centimetres deep.
  • Cut six of the mini Creme eggs in half and press into the dough.
    8 mini Creme Eggs
  • Line your slow cooker pot with another folded sheet of baking paper (to protect the shortbread from burning).
  • Place the sheet with the dough on top of that sheet. Place either a tea towel or a few sheets of kitchen roll under the slow cooker lid, with the sides folded over the lid.
  • Cook on high for approx. 2 hours or until the shortbread is lightly golden.

  • Tip: You must check for burning regularly as all slow cooker cook differently. Don't let it burn, take it out when it starts to become golden. If you have a hotspot in your slow cooker either turn the dish around or move the baking paper around.
  • Remove from the slow cooker using the edges of the paper.
  • Leave to cool.
  • Melt the milk chocolate and drizzle over the top, decorating with the two remaining mini Creme eggs.
    80 g milk chocolate
