Millionaires Shortbread

I have no idea why this is called millionaires shortbread, it just is, perhaps it is particularly loved by millionaires??
400g Milk Chocolate
1 x 400g can condensed milk
225g plain flour
170g butter
55g sugar

Rub butter into flour and sugar to make a soft dough and push into rectangle tin 13" x 9", bake at 170 C for 20mins until golden.
Pierce two holes in the can of condensed milk with a tin opener, place in a pan of boiling water one inch from the top of the can and boil for 4 hours.
Spread condensed milk over base.
Melt chocolate and spread over caramel and leave to set.
 
Tip: if your condensed milk is still too sloppy when it has turned to caramel, try stirring 100g of melted white chocolate into it, the chocolate will help it set.
