Description
A delicious recipe for Millionaire’s Shortbread or Twix Bars featuring a buttery shortbread crust, rich caramel filling, and a smooth chocolate topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 100g or 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, soft
- 50g or 1/2 cup Sugar
- 150g or 1 cup + 2 tbsp All Purpose/Plain Flour
- 200g or 2/3 cup Condensed Milk
- 150g or 2/3 cup Unsalted Butter
- 50g or 1/2 cup Sugar
- 50g or 3 tbsp Golden Syrup (or Honey/Maple Syrup)
- 200g or 1 cup Chocolate Chips/Squares
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F/175C. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and grease the sides with butter.
- In a bowl, beat sugar and butter to form a smooth paste. Add flour and gently mix it all together. Use your hands to knead and mop up all the crumbs.
- Flatten crust inside pan and try to level it as much as you can. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until your crust is a light golden brown around the edges. Let it cool in the pan.
- While your crust is baking, start the caramel. Put all filling ingredients into a saucepan and place on medium-high heat, stirring gently. Watch it closely as you stir.
- If you see little brown slivers at the bottom of the pan, stir them in vigorously and turn the heat down to a low-medium. Simmer it gently until it reaches a deep, golden brown color (around 15 minutes).
- When ready, pour the caramel over the cooled biscuit crust and spread evenly using an offset spatula or knife. Let this cool for at least an hour.
- Melt chocolate using microwave or double boiler and pour over cooled caramel to finish off.
- To serve, heat up a knife using hot water (make sure you dry it) or a blowtorch for a clean cut. Cut into desired sizes, usually 1-inch squares.
Notes
- Do not cool the caramel in the fridge as it will harden too much.
- Ensure the knife is hot for clean cuts.
