Millionaire shortbread instructions
- Line a dish with greaseproof paper.
- Crush the biscuits until they are fine crumbs and add the melted butter, stir through.
- Transfer the mixture to your lined dish and push down with the back of a spoon until tightly packed..
- Melt the butter sugar and condensed milk in a saucepan allow to boil for 5 minutes stirring all of the time so it doesn’t burn. This will melt the sugar and create caramel that will harden when cooled..
- Pour the mixture over the biscuit crumb base and cool to room temperature before placing in the fridge for at least an hour to harden..
- Melt the milk chocolate once the caramel has hardened..
- Pour over the top and return to the fridge.
- Melt the white chocolate and sprinkle on top, return to the fridge to harden.
- Slice up and enjoy.
If you find once your Millionaires shortbread is finished, that the caramel is rock solid and more like toffee, you overdid it slightly on the boiling. It's best to keep and store it at room temperature from now on, so it's at least not fridge cold hard. 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. Congrats to Carrie H. of Rockville, MD, who submitted the recipe!
