Steps:
- Shortbread:.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare 2 (8-inch) square non-stick pans with butter and coat with flour, tapping off excess. Place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse once. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles peas. Press the shortbread mixture into prepared pans and bake until golden brown around the edges, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven to cool completely.
- Caramel Layer:.
- In a heavy-bottomed sauce pan over medium-low heat, combine the condensed milk and 2 tablespoons of butter. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring continuously. Continue stirring over the heat until mixture becomes thick and amber in color, about 15 minutes. Pour the caramel over the cooked shortbread and spread evenly using an offset spatula. Cool to room temperature.
- Chocolate Topping:.
- In a glass bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, melt the chocolate. Once chocolate has melted, pour it over the cooled caramel layer. Cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes, and then place in the refrigerator to cool completely allowing chocolate to slightly harden but not set hard.
- Cut into 2 inch squares and enjoy, or store in an airtight container at room temperature or keep in the fridge for a yummy sweet and cool treat!
MILLIONAIRES SHORTBREAD - CHOCOLATE, GINGER AND CARAMEL SLICES
My Mum used to make these for School fetes and Church bazaars - they are absolutely sinful and totally divine! They were everyone's favourite, so I used to zoom around beforehand, with my pocket money burning a hole in my pocket, to make sure I bought some before they all went!! A fun name with delicious layers of shortbread, caramel and a chocolate topping. This recipe has the added surprise of adding stem ginger pieces, which was not usual in my Mum's orginal recipe. These do keep for up to a week in an airtight tin or container.....I have never known them last more then 24 hours however - you WILL have to HIDE them!!! They a great for packed lunches and picnics, as well as with afternoon coffee.

Steps:
- You will need:.
- A square baking tin, 20cm (8"), greased and base-lined with baking parchment or paper.
- To make the base, process the biscuits until they are like crumbs then stir in the melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the tin and, very lightly, press to make an even layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Place the butter and the sugar in a nonstick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring gently to the boil, stirring continuously to make a golden caramel, which is thick and yet still coats the back of a spoon.
- Spoon the caramel over the crumb base, cover and leave to to cool for 20 to 30 minutes or until the caramel has thickened.
- Sprinkle the chopped ginger over the caramel base if using. Stir 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil into each bowl of melted chocolate. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel, spreading it out to the edges. Repeat with the milk chocolate, then swirl them slightly to create a pattern.
- Leave aside to set. When the chocolate has hardened a little, but before it has set hard, cut into slices, and enjoy with a cup of coffee.
- Hide the remaining slices from all other family members and friends!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the millionaires shortbread will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure the butter and sugar are creamed together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, which will make the shortbread light and crumbly.
- Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the shortbread tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the shortbread from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the shortbread until it is golden brown. Do not overbake, or the shortbread will be dry.
- Allow the shortbread to cool completely before spreading the caramel on top. This will help to prevent the caramel from melting.
- Use a good quality caramel sauce. You can make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought brand.
- Spread the caramel evenly over the shortbread. Do not make the caramel layer too thick, or it will be difficult to cut the shortbread.
- Chill the shortbread again before cutting. This will help to firm up the caramel and make it easier to cut the shortbread.
- Serve the millionaires shortbread at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
