Millionaire’s Shortbread Bites 🍯
Ingredients:
For the Shortbread:
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
For the Caramel Layer:
• ¼ cup unsalted butter
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp golden syrup
• ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
For the Topping:
• ¾ cup milk chocolate, melted
• ¼ cup white chocolate, melted
Instructions:
1 Prepare the Mini Muffin Pan:
◦ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
◦ Lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line it with paper liners.
2 Make the Shortbread Base:
◦ In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
◦ Gradually add in the flour and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
◦ Press about 1 teaspoon of dough into the bottom of each mini muffin cup, flattening it slightly.
◦ Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
3 Prepare the Caramel Layer:
◦ In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter, sugar, and golden syrup, stirring until combined.
◦ Add the condensed milk and cook, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and turns a golden caramel color (about 5-7 minutes).
◦ Remove from heat and carefully spoon about 1 teaspoon of caramel over each cooled shortbread base. Let it set for 15-20 minutes.
4 Add the Chocolate Topping:
◦ Melt the milk chocolate and spoon it evenly over the caramel layer in each cup.
◦ Drizzle the melted white chocolate on top and swirl with a toothpick for a decorative effect.
5 Chill & Serve:
◦ Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until fully set.
◦ Gently pop out the mini millionaire’s shortbread bites from the pan and enjoy!
