Ingredients

For the Shortbread:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 12 Tablespoons (3/4 cup) butter (cold and sliced)
  • 7 Tablespoons sugar

For the Caramel:

  • 11 Tablespoons (2/3 cup) butter
  • 10 oz can condensed milk
  • 7 Tablespoons Lincoln County Reserve 100% Pure Maple Syrup

For the Chocolate:

  • 12 oz chocolate (choose your favorite)

Directions

Part 1: Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C)
  2. Combine flour and butter cubes and pulse in the food processor until you form a fine breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Add sugar and mix until incorporated. Voila, you’ve made your shortbread mixture!
  4. Next, pour the shortbread mixture into a 9×9-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Press the shortbread down to create a firm crust in the pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes or until golden.
  5. Set aside and let the shortbread cool to room temperature. While the shortbread is cooking, you can prepare the caramel.

Part 2: Caramel

  1. Mix butter, maple syrup, and condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring until you form a smooth mixture. Increase the heat and bring mixture to a boil. Continue stirring until the mixture is thick and golden brown. Let it cool for a bit before proceeding.
  2. Pour the caramel over the shortbread. Set aside to let the caramel cool completely.

Part 3: Chocolate

  1. Melt the chocolate. The simplest way is to microwave in 20-second intervals and stir in between. Repeat until the chocolate is 75% melted. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
  2. Pour the chocolate over the cooled caramel. Refrigerate for an hour to allow the ganache to cool.
  3. Slice into squares and enjoy! Goes really well with a cup of coffee or warm milk.

Tips & Tricks

  • Want to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate and caramel? Drizzle some sea salt to really make these flavors pop! It adds a nice crunch to the snack as well.
  • Millionaire’s shortbread can last in the freezer for up to three months. Double-wrap the bars in aluminum foil and place it in an airtight container. Before serving, let thaw overnight on the countertop.
  • When melting chocolate with a microwave, do not microwave for over 20 seconds at a time to avoid overheating and curdling.
  • Want a prettier presentation to wow your friends? Swirl some white chocolate into your dark chocolate ganache and you’ll look like a pro in their eyes!
  • No time to make shortbread from scratch? You can try this hack instead: combine crushed shortbread cookie and melted butter. It may not taste as good as freshly baked shortbread, but it’s still so good and saves you a lot of time.
  • Use any type of chocolate you prefer. I like using half milk chocolate and half semi-sweet chocolate. You could even use white chocolate. It’s totally up to you!
