Millionaire's Shortbread Recipe: A Decadent Treat

Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup butter, cut into small pieces
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 6 ounces milk chocolate, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking pan. Gather all your ingredients for this Millionaire's Shortbread recipe.
2. For the shortbread crust: In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in the brown sugar. Form the dough into a ball.
3. Press the shortbread dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a fork to prick the surface of the dough.
4. Bake the shortbread crust in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow the crust to cool completely.
5. To make the caramel: In a nonstick saucepan, combine the condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel reaches a boil. Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes, stirring until the caramel is golden and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
6. Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled shortbread crust. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until the caramel is firm.
7. For the chocolate topping: Place the chocolate in a double boiler set over simmering water. Stir frequently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
8. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the chilled caramel layer. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Cut the Millionaire's Shortbread into bars and enjoy!
