Millionaire Caramel Shortbread Bars
Soft brown sugar shortbread, buttery homemade caramel, and melted dark chocolate make up the three layers to these millionaire caramel shortbread bars. They are so easy to whip up, and pack a flavor punch that just won’t quit.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ Cup All Purpose Flour
- ⅓ Cup Dark Brown Sugar, packed
- Pinch of Salt
- ¾ Cup Salted Butter, melted
- 1 Teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 ½ Cups Caramel Sauce (see blog for recipe link)
- 2 Cups Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
Instructions
- For the shortbread: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and dough forms, about 30 to 60 seconds. Dough will be warm and soft but not sticky.
- Gently press the dough into a parchment lined 8 x 8“ pan. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the middle is completely set and the outer edges are slightly golden.
- Allowed the shortbread to cool for 20 minutes. Gently pour the warm caramel sauce over the short bread, ensuring that it is evenly spread across the top. Chill for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Add the top layer of dark chocolate, ensuring that it is spread evenly across the top as well. Children additional 30 minutes. Slice bars as desired. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for up to three days. Enjoy!
