Millionaire shortbread. Kim's Cooking Now Back to Recipe. Millionaire Shortbread Recipe You'll love biting through the soft and chewy top layers of this slice, then into that crisp, buttery base. It's rich and indulgent in all the best ways but takes relatively little effort to make.

It's a flashy cookie, topped with swoops. Millionaire's shortbread has a lot going for it: a crunchy shortbread base; a chewy, caramel-like filling; and a shiny, snappy chocolate top. The only thing that could make it better would be foolproof methods for producing all three layers. You can cook Millionaire shortbread using 12 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook it.

This Millionaire's Shortbread is the perfect trifecta: Sweet simple, crisp shortbread, rich chewy, homemade caramel, and thick dark chocolate ganache. Sprinkle everything off with a scattering of sea salt and you have a decadently rich treat that lives up to every penny of its lucrative name. Known as Millionaire's Shortbread, presumably because they are so rich, they consist of a layer of crumbly shortbread, a layer of soft caramel and a layer of chocolate. To me, they taste just like gourmet Twix bars.

Millionaire shortbread step by step

Prep the ingredients, pre heat the oven to 160’C fan and line a deep square oven tin with parchment paper..
Cream together the sugar and room temperature butter. Using a mixer whisk till smooth..
Add the flour and with your hands combine to a dough..
Move the dough to the oven tin and push to flatten across the base of the tin. Add to the oven and bake for 20-25 mins till lightly browned..
Once the shortbread is out the oven now begin the caramel. Add the butter, sugar, golden syrup and condensed milk to a saucepan. Simmer till the butter is all melted..
Now bring the caramel to the boil and let bubble for 5-7 minutes. It will get SUPER HOT!!! So be very careful and stir continuously. You will notice the mixture darkens in colour and begins to thicken..
Now pour over the shortbread - smooth so it covers all the base and leave to cool..
Melt the chocolate - I find in the microwave is easiest - heat for 10 seconds then stir and repeat till almost completely smooth. If you take out it will continue to cook so underdone is best as it will still melt when out the microwave. Repeat for the white chocolate. Once ready pour over the caramel and make a pretty pattern!.
Leave to cool for 1-2 hours (once cooled enough move to the fridge to harden). Once fully hard you can remove from the tin and cut into squares. These will last in a sealed Tupperware for up to a week (if they last that long.....!)..
