Easy 4-Ingredient Irish Potluck Treat

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 8 oz dark chocolate

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Soften the butter at room temperature. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
3. Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
6. While the shortbread cools, melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth.
7. Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled shortbread, spreading evenly. Allow to set.
8. Once the chocolate is firm, slice into bars and serve.
