Sorry, I followed the link all the way here because I am desperately in need of a gooey chocolate shortbread recipe.
My wife keeps M&S afloat by buying all theirs whenever she ventures into town.
I'll give your recipe a try and return to let you know if it comes up to scratch (I'm sure it will)
Sorry for stealing it but it will go to a good cause!

No probs if I get enouggh interested parties I'll put it on the main thread, have fun it may seem like hard work but it's worth it

Thank you very much for that. I'm between homes for the next few months, but as soon as I'm settled I'll certainly give it a go. And then report back with hilarious anecdotes about setting fire to myself with shortbread, or something.

Good luck with it
