Millionaire's Shortbread Bars (Vegan and Gluten Free) image

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.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of chocolate for the ganache. I found that the dark chocolate was a bit too bitter for my taste.

The shortbread crust was a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the caramel filling and chocolate ganache were perfect.
