Millionaires Shortbread - Chocolate, Ginger and Caramel Slices image

My Mum used to make these for School fetes and Church bazaars - they are absolutely sinful and totally divine! They were everyone's favourite, so I used to zoom around beforehand, with my pocket money burning a hole in my pocket, to make sure I bought some before they all went!! A fun name with delicious layers of shortbread, caramel and a chocolate topping. This recipe has the added surprise of adding stem ginger pieces, which was not usual in my Mum's orginal recipe. These do keep for up to a week in an airtight tin or container.....I have never known them last more then 24 hours however - you WILL have to HIDE them!!! They a great for packed lunches and picnics, as well as with afternoon coffee.

Time 1h10m

Yield 16 Millionaire's Shortbread Slices

Number Of Ingredients 9

225 g butter shortbread cookies
125 g butter, melted
150 g butter
150 g soft brown sugar
397 g carnation condensed milk
75 g stem ginger in syrup, drained and chopped (optional)
115 g dark chocolate, melted
115 g milk chocolate, melted
2 teaspoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • You will need:.
  • A square baking tin, 20cm (8"), greased and base-lined with baking parchment or paper.
  • To make the base, process the biscuits until they are like crumbs then stir in the melted butter. Spoon this mixture into the tin and, very lightly, press to make an even layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
  • Place the butter and the sugar in a nonstick saucepan over a low heat, stirring until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. Add the condensed milk and bring gently to the boil, stirring continuously to make a golden caramel, which is thick and yet still coats the back of a spoon.
  • Spoon the caramel over the crumb base, cover and leave to to cool for 20 to 30 minutes or until the caramel has thickened.
  • Sprinkle the chopped ginger over the caramel base if using. Stir 1 teaspoon of the vegetable oil into each bowl of melted chocolate. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel, spreading it out to the edges. Repeat with the milk chocolate, then swirl them slightly to create a pattern.
  • Leave aside to set. When the chocolate has hardened a little, but before it has set hard, cut into slices, and enjoy with a cup of coffee.
  • Hide the remaining slices from all other family members and friends!

This millionaire's shortbread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still delicious. The chocolate, ginger, and caramel flavors were all there, and the shortbread crust was perfect. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use less sugar
