Hi everyone!

There is no better way to kick off your morning than with ”Millionaire Shortbreads” right out of the oven. I have discovered this cake in Scotland during my Erasmus year and I want to share with you the recipe. It’s so delicious!!

The Millionaire Shortbread is a small Scottish Shortbread (with a lot of butter) covered with a layer of caramel and chocolate!

For the record, on the occasion of the New Year it is offered a Millionaire Shortbread to the first visitor who enters in the house.

Put on low heat and bring to boil. Boil 3-4 minutes.

Cook over a low heat, stirring all the time.

Watch it closely, and when to it turns a deep caramel color to it over the shortbread.

Let cool completely then chill for two hours before putting chocolate.

3. For the chocolate...

Melt the chocolate in a microwave by checking and stirring every 10 seconds, or in a double boiler if you prefer.

Pour the tempered chocolate over caramel.

Distribute the chocolate to have a smooth surface.

Allow it to cool for 30 minutes or so, then for over melted chocolate. Transfer to fridge for Reviews another 30 minutes or so to set before slicing into squares.

They will keep for 5 days if stored in airtight tin or year the fridge.

Enjoy for breakfast or as an on-the-go snack!
