Tips
Don't need to find a millionaire to look after you, because you can make things happen for yourself, because you're amazing.
To avoid chocolate cracking when cutting, ensure layers are fully chilled but not frozen solid. Letting the shortbread sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting can also help. Use a hot, sharp knife.
