This combination of buttery shortbread and sweet chocolate is wonderful. Whenever I make it, there's nothing but crumbs left. Be sure to cut this into small squares because it's very rich. —Valarie Wheeler, DeWitt, Michigan

Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, cream butter, confectioners' sugar and salt until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Gradually beat in flour. Spread into a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake until lightly browned, 16-20 minutes.
