Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking tin with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over the sides.
In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Melt 100 grams of unsalted butter, and stir into the flour mixture until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared tin.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
In a saucepan, add caster sugar, golden syrup, and remaining butter, stirring over medium heat.
Add the condensed milk and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color, about 7-10 minutes.
Pour the caramel over the cooled shortbread base and spread evenly.
Allow to set completely, either in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or at room temperature.
Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method).
Stir until the chocolate is smooth and glossy, then pour it over the set caramel layer.
Spread the chocolate to cover evenly and let it set.
Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the shortbread from the tin.
Cut into 16 bite-sized squares with a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy your Soy-Free Millionaire Shortbread Bites!
