Crafting Your Millionaire Bars
Creating this culinary gem is an art form that requires precision and passion. Here’s how you can bring the essence of indulgence to your kitchen:
Ingredients:
For the Shortbread Base:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
For the Caramel Layer:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Topping:
- 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Shortbread Base: In a bowl, combine flour and granulated sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
-
Gooey Caramel: In a saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a caramel color. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and pour the caramel over the baked shortbread. Allow the caramel layer to cool and set.
-
Chocolate Perfection: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
-
Chill and Serve: Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, then cut into bars.
Tips for Decadent Success
-
Shortbread Precision: Press the shortbread mixture firmly into the pan to create a solid base that holds up well when the layers are added.
-
Caramel Consistency: Stir the caramel mixture constantly while cooking to prevent burning and ensure a smooth, gooey consistency.
-
Chocolate Brilliance: When melting the chocolate, use gentle heat and stir regularly to avoid overheating, which can cause the chocolate to seize.
