Millionaire Bars

Shortbread Crust

• 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Caramel Layer

• 2 14-oz cans sweetened condensed milk fat-free sweetened condensed milk can also be used, we like Eagle Brand
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Chocolate Layer

• 1 ¼ cups good quality milk chocolate chocolate chips or chopped pieces
• ⅓ cup heavy cream add more
• Optional sea salt sprinkles

Instructions

 

Millionaire Bars

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil or line with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Shortbread Crust

• In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add in the flour and salt and mix until the dough comes together. Press into the pan. With a fork, pierce the dough all over.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Set aside to cool completely.

Caramel Layer

• Add sweetened condensed milk and butter to a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat while whisking constantly.
• Continue to simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens and turns into a light amber color, about 15-20 minutes Remember to whisk all the time so the caramel doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot and burn.
• Pour the thickened caramel over the cooled shortbread and spread evenly. Allow to fully cool at room temperature for about 2-3 hours.

Chocolate Layer

• Place the chocolate and cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
• Spread the chocolate over the caramel layer. Refrigerate the bars until the chocolate is set, at least 1 hour.
• Using the foil overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board.
• Cut into small squares and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Store any leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for 5 days.
