Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ 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
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square pan.
- Sift flour into a bowl. Rub in butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine bread crumbs. Mix in brown sugar and shape dough into a ball.
- Press dough into the prepared pan. Prick all over with a fork.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
- Meanwhile, combine condensed milk, butter, and brown sugar in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramel comes to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Pour caramel over cooled crust and refrigerate until firm to the touch, about 1 hour.
- Place chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
- Spread melted chocolate over cooled caramel. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, about 15 minutes. Cut into bars.
- Make sure you cool the mixtures in between putting them together so they don’t blend together. When you cut into bars, you should see the base, middle, and topping clearly.

The flavor was ok, but it looked nothing like the picture and the crust wasn’t really a shortbread. I wouldn’t make this recipe again.
Love it!
this was the most amazing millionaires shortbread i have ever tasted the shortbread was nice and tender the caramel was sweet but not too sweet and the chocolate just cut through it all will make again thankyou
This is a really good and easy recipe! The shortbread is more crunchy, like a Twix, and the caramel made with sweetened condensed milk is very good. Wow! I’ll make these again.
