1. Blitz the flour, caster sugar and 200g of the butter, cubed, in a mixer until it forms a dough. Tip out onto a work surface and knead quickly to ensure it has come together and press into the baking tray. Chill for 15 mins.
2. Heat the oven to 180C/ Gas 4. Remove the base from the fridge, prick all over with a fork and bake for 20-25 mins oruntil golden.
3. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan with the dark brown sugar. Then mix in the condensed milk and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring continuously, for 5 mins or until thickened, then mix in the peanut butter and stir well. Pour the caramel over the base and leave to set.
