Description
Millionaire’s Mini Bars are bite-sized indulgent treats made with layers of buttery shortbread, creamy caramel, and silky chocolate. They’re perfect for parties, holidays, or a decadent snack anytime.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Shortbread Layer:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- For the Caramel Layer:
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp golden syrup or corn syrup
- For the Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (optional for smoother texture)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, and butter until a dough forms. Press about a teaspoon of dough into each mini muffin cup. Flatten evenly.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely in the pan.
- In a saucepan, combine condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, and syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and golden, about 8–10 minutes.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel over each cooled shortbread base. Chill for 15 minutes to set.
- Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Spoon over the caramel layer.
- Chill again until the chocolate is firm. Remove from pan and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- To make slicing easier, warm a knife under hot water before cutting.
- You can sprinkle sea salt on the chocolate before it sets for a salted caramel twist.
- Keep refrigerated in warm climates to prevent melting.
