Steps:
- Crust:.

- Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add vanilla and salt. Stir in the flour just until the dough begins to come together in walnut-sized chunks.
- Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Begin making filling as soon as you put the dough in the oven.
- Filling:.
- Pour the milk into a heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring often, 60-90 minutes, until golden brown.
- When thick and deep golden, spread caramel evenly over cooled crust and refrigerate until caramel is cool and set.
- Topping:.
- Melt the chocolate and butter slowly over low heat and spread over the cooled caramel layer. Sprinkle sea salt over the chocolate (if desired). Refrigerate until set.
- Store the bars, covered, in the fridge.
MILLIONAIRE'S SHORTBREAD BARS (VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE)
Millionaire's shortbread bars traditionally have a bottom layer of shortbread cookie, a middle caramel layer, and a top chocolate layer. For my recipe, I made the cookie layer with almond flour to get a delicious nutty flavor. The middle layer is a caramel made mostly out of dates. Finally, I made the top chocolate out of cacao, coconut oil, and agave. Keep leftovers in the refrigerator.

Tips:
- Use a 9x13 inch pan: This will ensure that the bars are the perfect size and thickness.
- Don't overbake the crust: The crust should be golden brown, but not too dark. If it's overbaked, it will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to set properly and prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the bars: This will help to get clean, even cuts.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature: They will keep for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Millionaire bars are a delicious and decadent treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich shortbread crust, gooey caramel filling, and chocolate ganache topping, they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give millionaire bars a try - you won't be disappointed!
