Steps:
- Butter a 9 1/2-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet or quarter sheet pan and line it with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the 2 long sides. Then butter the parchment.
- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, kosher salt and cinnamon in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat to combine, scraping down the sides as needed. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat on low until the dough is just combined; do not overwork.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it out as evenly as possible with a silicone spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, then use your hands to press and flatten the dough into a smooth even layer. Pull back the plastic wrap and use a fork to prick the dough all over. Cover again and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
- Uncover the dough and bake, rotating the baking sheet from front to back halfway through, until golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Combine the caramels and cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture over the shortbread and spread it evenly. Immediately sprinkle with the peanuts and a large pinch of flaky salt. Gently push down on the topping to make sure it sticks to the caramel. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Use the parchment overhang to gently lift the shortbread and slide it onto a cutting board. Remove the parchment and cut into 24 squares. Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Both semisweet and dark chocolate will work well in this recipe.
- If you don't have salted peanuts, you can use unsalted peanuts and sprinkle them with a little salt before adding them to the mixture.
- Be careful not to overcook the mixture, or the bars will be dry and crumbly. The mixture is done when it has reached a thick, gooey consistency.
- Press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan. This will help the bars stay together when they are cut.
- Chill the bars for at least 2 hours before cutting them. This will make them easier to cut and will also help them set.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
