Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the shortbread ingredients. Press mixture into the baking dish and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden. Cool completely.
In a saucepan, combine caramel ingredients over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Melt chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
Pour caramel over cooled shortbread, spread evenly, and freeze for 1-2 hours until solid.
Pour melted chocolate over set caramel and sprinkle with sea salt. Chill for 5-10 minutes to harden.
Lift the bars out using parchment paper, slice into pieces, and serve.
