Millionaire Shortbread

 

 

This sweet treat is as rich as its name implies. Millionaire Shortbread consists of a melt-in-your-mouth buttery shortbread base, a layer of sweet-salty caramel made from condensed milk, and a thin layer of dark and white chocolate. This harmony of flavours and textures results in decadent bite-sized treat that is widely popular in the UK and Canada. These squares are easy to make and will be the star at any potluck party!
