A millionaire's shortbread is a biscuit base covered in chewy caramel and topped with melted milk chocolate. It's also known as homemade Twix bars !
See, I think this is called Millionaire's Shortbread because a small bite of this thing has about a million calories. I could have eaten the whole plate and then I'd have gained six pounds. Millionaire's Shortbread is that delicious but also very not healthy (I mean, hello, biscuit base + caramel center + two types of chocolate to top it all off = me not looking like a supermodel on the beach this summer. Heh, who cares.)
Also, fun fact : Millionaire's Shortbread tastes like Twix bars ! So now you'll know how to make them. I suggest you make a batch and impress everyone, tell them you spent a reaaally long time laboring over "homemade Twix bars" when in reality it's super easy and relatively quick to make ;)
FOR THE BISCUIT BASE :
Ingredients :
150g of flour
50g of sugar
100g of softened butter
Instructions :
Cream the butter and sugar together, then add in the flour.
Spread the dough in a square pan covered in parchment paper.
Bake for 20 minutes, until the shortbread is lightly golden. Set aside to cool.
FOR THE CARAMEL :
Ingredients :
50g of butter
50g of sugar
1 can (397g/14oz) of sweetened condensed milk
Instructions:In a saucepan, melt the butter with the sugar and condensed milk, stirring constantly.
Once the sugar is dissolved, bring to a boil.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. The caramel will thicken and golden.
Spread the caramel over the baked shortbread, and let cool.
FOR THE CHOCOLATE TOPPING :
Ingredients :
100g of milk chocolate
50g of white chocolate
Instructions:Melt the milk chocolate and spread it over the cooled caramel.
Melt the white chocolate and pour it in a zig zag pattern over the milk chocolate. Using a toothpick or a knife, draw lines in the chocolates to create a swirl pattern.
Let the chocolate set, then cut the shortbread in squares.
