Billionaire's Shortbread
Try this delicious spin on our Millionaire's shortbread. Instead of swirling the white chocolate in to the dark chocolate, swirl in the dark chocolate in to the white chocolate for a marbled effect. These layers of crumbly shortbread, sticky caramel and chocolate will also hit the jackpot.
For the base:
Shortbread biscuits, crushed
Cocoa powder
Melted butter
For the caramel layer:
Dark brown soft sugar
Butter
For the top layer:
White chocolate
Dark chocolate
Edible glitter
You will also need…
20cm (8in) brownie tin, lined with baking parchment
Step 1 of 4
Combine the crushed biscuits, cocoa and 55g melted butter, press into the tin. Chill for 20 mins.
The mixture should be like slighlty wet sand when you press it into the base. If it feels a little dry you can put the mixture into a microwave safe bowl and microwave gently for 10-20 seconds which will re-melt the butter and help everything to combine together.
Step 2 of 4
Heat the sugar and remaining butter in a non-stick pan gently, stirring, until melted. Add the Carnation condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for a minute or so or until the filling has thickened. Pour the caramel over the base. Cool, then chill until set.
Step 3 of 4
Melt the chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the white chocolate over the caramel and then add spoonfuls of the melted dark chocolate. Swirl together with a spoon for a marbled effect.
Step 4 of 4
Chill until set then lightly brush over the gold edible glitter. Remove from the tin and cut into squares – dip your knife in hot water (then dry on kitchen towel) to make it easier to cut through the chocolate.
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
