Millionaire?s Shortbread Recipe
Remember when I told you about the Secret recipe Club last month? Amanda from Amanda’s Cookin‘ came up with the great idea to have a club, where we exchange names to make recipes from each others blog. The blog you received, and the recipe you pick , is a secret until the reveal day. If you have a food blog, with at least 60 recipes,we would love for you to join us. And guess what? It’s Reveal Day!!!
I received the awesome blog, Eggs, cream, and honey owned and operated by our own sweet Heather. Heather has some great recipes and it didn’t take me long to pick one. I have wanted to make Millionaire’s Shortbread for a long time and this was finally my chance. Millionaire’s Shortbread consist of a shortbread base, a layer of caramel, topped with a layer of chocolate. It’s sweet, chewy, and truly decadent.
I did do a few things different but I think I stayed true to the recipe. 1. The Shortbread. I used a little more sugar, a little less butter, and I left the egg out completely 2. The caramel. I didn’t have the time to boil the cans of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours so I made my caramel on the stove. Heather also added a bit of sea salt to her caramel, I added a vanilla bean. It was killer caramel if I do say so myself. 3. The chocolate topping. Heather added some corn syrup and 1/2 a cup of butter to 6 oz of chocolate to make her chocolate glaze. I used about 9 oz of chocolate and added 2 tablespoons of coconut butter. And on some, I sprinkled a little Fleur de Sel Sea Salt . This recipe is rich and makes a lot. I decorated a few with some of my cute sugar decorations. I boxed these up to give them away with some other goodies as a gift. They were very well received! I think Heather summed it up quite nicely when she said, “If you don?t know about this amazing confection it?s about time you did. It?s one part shortbread, one part caramel and one part chocolate and the whole thing together ends up being rather addictive.”
