Treat Thursday: Millionaire Shortbread Bars

Yummy!! We love baking and creating at Bon Voyage Friends. I was so excited to make Millionaire Shortbread and use the golden syrup I brought back from England!! 



This recipe is from UK Food Network and was a crowd pleaser. Bon Appétit!!!  


Ingredients

  • 125g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 175g self-raising flour, sifted
  • 175g dark or milk chocolate, broken into pieces
  • For the filling:

  • 200g condensed milk
  • 125g butter or margarine
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp golden syrup

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4 and grease an 18 x 28cm Swiss roll tin.

2. To make the base, cream the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Fold the four into the creamed mixture until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the base of the prepared tin and bake in the centre of the preheated oven for about 12 minutes until golden.

3. Meanwhile, make the filling Place all of the filling ingredients into a saucepan, bring to a gentle boil, then continue to simmer for 5-10 minutes, stirring continuously. You need to stir quite vigorously as little bits of caramel will stick to the pan but should come away easily and dissolve. Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has turned a light caramel colour, take the pan off the heat and spread the filling all over the cooked base. Leave to cool.

4. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the pour it over the caramel. Leave to set for 2 hours or until the chocolate is firm. Cut into 12 fingers.
