Some would call this a cheat’s recipe – we just call it great for fast entertaining over the festive season 
So here we go, our quick millionaire shortbread recipe:
Base
50g butter
200g ready bought shortbread – crushed
Caramel
175g butter
175g caster sugar
5 tbsp golden syrup
1x 397g can of condensed milk
Topping
1x 200g large block of chocolate – I used milk chocolate
Recipe
For the base, melt the butter gently and mix in the crushed shortbread – line a (approx) 330mm x 200mm tin with greaseproof paper and then add the base mixture. Press mixture down firm and then place in fridge for an hour.
For the caramel place all ingredients into a pan and melt gently until all mixed nicely together. Allow mixture to heat gently for 10 minutes stirring all the time. Pour mixture over shortbread and place back into the fridge for another hour.
Take chocolate and break into pieces and then melt gently in a bowl over some boiling water or in the microwave until a runny consistency. Pour
chocolate over set caramel and place back into fridge.
After approx 10mins scribe a knife through the chocolate layer into “big” bite size squares and then put back into the fridge. Try and wait another hour to set completely – then sit back and indulge yum yum
