Millionaire Bars - YAY! buttery shortbread, caramel goodness, chocolate and sea salt - what a combination!! I can hardly wait to make them - I have all the ingredients (even bottles of Lyle's golden Syrup), perhaps I can start it today. I'm honored that I inspired you to create this recipe - you have inspired me with all of your bakes. 😊 Hey everyone, 173K and counting!!! Let's all help Charlie reach the 200K by the end of the year - share those bakes with your friends and share his YT channel. Together we can do this!!! 🏆🏆🏆

[@ChainBaker]

I'm looking forward to making the rocky road brownies once I get all the rye breads out the way 😁

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker Oh, that will be a fun bake for you! Oh, and I have made your Ultimate Shortbread recipe - it's delightfully delicious and so buttery.

[@NotMyNameGrandma-wz9yx]

My mouth is watering at the vision rocky road brownies creates in my brain! I'm waiting too!

[@supersayre]

I appreciate your direct and clear approach to these videos. I am an avid home baker and can't wait to make this.

[@MadScientistSoap]

So sweet. The best shortbread cookies I have eperienced are: One - Martha Stewart's Rosemary shortbread cookies and Two - Little Maddie's Lemon Shortbread Cookies. So Good. Found your channel this month and already a huge fan.

This is amazing!!!! Today is my birthday and I'll be making dinner for my friends and family...this will definitely be on the menu... thank you for this beautiful idea!❤

[@ChainBaker]

Happy Birthday, Maria! 🥳

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Thank you, Charlie, for making this recipe extra special as a "two-fer": A delicious sweet bake and baking/cooking technique skills that can be used for other projects (how to make a shortbread base, how to make a caramel layer, how to use double boiler to melt chocolate). "Sharing bakes" actually does make me even happier than enjoying my bakes, as you and everyone in "Charlie's Baking Buddies" are aware.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

Made these today - sampling the trimmings as I "comment". It's too warm in my kitchen to cut them all this evening, so back in the fridge they go until tomorrow morning (hot day plus I was baking other treats) - slightly melty chocolate, soft and creamy caramel and the wonderful crumbly shortbread with the sea salt finish - OUTSTANDING!!! Photos have been posted (sort of, there appears to be a limit of 2 posts a day now on Charlie's Baking Buddies - my numerous posts about my many, many bakes are probably the reason for that 😆) #241 - only 59 to go!!! 😉 Many thanks for sharing your version of this lovely sweet treat! 🤩🤩

[@ChainBaker]

Perhaps they could not handle all the beautiful bakes you posted 😁

[@fisher-ej1bw]

One of my faves, will give this version a try. Previously used 50:50 with dark sugar in the caramel layer, as well as some salt flakes for a salted caramel taste👍

[@missvickie101]

Thanks! Please make Panettone. Every time I watch someone on KZbin try to cut corners in the process, the Panettone come out more dense.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

If you take a look at his "Breads of Christmas" playlist, there are two Panettone recipes - there is also a Pandoro recipe. The Panettone and Pandoro recipes from Dec 2022 were outstanding - I baked them a few times and shared as holiday gifts with family, friends and neighbors.

[@ChainBaker]

I do have a panettone recipe, but it is definitely denser than it should be. Perhaps I'll update it this Christmas :)

[@peterarchimandritis4948]

I knew the recipe would be good when Charlie added salt on top. Made this and it was easily the best caramel slice I've ever had. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I also briefly baked the caramel layer as this is how I've seen it done in other recipes. In any case it turned out elite 👌

[@SawySavvy]

Thank you for using the metric system. Helped a bunch!

[@suyapajimenez516]

Yes my friend all your recipes work and nicely.

[@koubenakombi3066]

Whoo-hoo! Charlie is back! Nice recipe!

[@ChainBaker]

✌️😎

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

Like many of your confection creations, this looks like a million bucks! I have a theory that twix candy is basically a mass-market version of this!

[@ChainBaker]

It's definitely similar. Slightly different proportions though 😎

[@hw260]

Elevated Bars. Outstanding recipe Charlie. Thank you.

[@davidotoole9328]

Made this in a 20cm x 20cm and the proportions were fine (in case you haven’t got the pan in the video). Cut them into 2cm squares and that’s the perfect morsel for these incredibly rich treats. Perfect for an apocalypse, one tray must be 5000 calories.

[@davidotoole9328]

Sorry, cut it into 16 squares.

[@mattlevault5140]

Looks awesome! But I don't really eat sugar anymore... I'll stick to yeast breads. Made pan de cristal today to take to friends with covid. I hope they can taste it!

[@nopenope1]

I'm currently trying this out ^^ Just put it in the fridge to cool down. Hope my first try for caramel works out, it did taste good but I think I did not make it right. I think I was to afraid of heating it at the beginning and turned the heat down to early and then it took so long and did not get the right thicknes? then I've increased the heat etc. took me probably 30 minutes, taste wise very good but it might have a 'crystaline' structure. As long as it is not to liquide or hard, should still taste good. I

[@ChainBaker]

It should not matter how long it takes to cook as long as you get it to the right colour and thickness

[@nopenope1]

@@ChainBaker so I'm done with the chocolate as well, the 'caramel' is more like those milk caramel and is a touch to fluid. Color is ok so. It probably will be tricky when I cut it. Decided to do that tomorrow (it's past 10 pm here ;) ). Taste wise it fill be good, I'm sure of it and I'll definitly try that again. Thanks for this recipe/video :)

[@vitus6644]

First i thought these are Canadian Nanaimo bars. look pretty similar. I'm going to try to make them for comparison. Thanks!

[@thewefactor1]

If you added salted peanuts into the caramel I'll bet it would taste like a Snickers bar, although, I think they use nougat under the caramel. Maybe a hybrid Twix bar and Snickers bar. Looks tasty.

[@peterdoe2617]

Looks great! And I think your explanation is excellent. Have you ever made a pavlowa? I've once found a great explained recipe from Marion Grasby (Marion's kitchen). While the fruits are getting ripe on our side of the globe right now, it should make a great topic. Greetings from the far north of Germany1

[@ChainBaker]

Not yet. I try to make all my recipes by hand. Whipping meringue would be torture 😂 But I may dust off my mixer one day and give it a go! Cheers :)

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@ChainBaker Pavlova is a fun recipe - they really did enjoy the "mini pavlovas" at the office.

[@pd8559]

I remember these from my time overseas. They were called caramel slice? Buttery and sugary. In fact way too sweet, these made me feel physically sick after eating just one it had that much sugar in it 😂. Very Tasty but not for the older me today. Nice recipe. I redesign sweet pie recipes here because again way too much sugar. I have seen two or more cups of sugar called for in some of the recipes. My conversions try to get down to 1/4 cup sugar in the whole pie if I can get it that low. Otherwise 1/2 cup is fine but I don’t want any more in my pies.

[@nopenope1]

One question, what is the best way to store this? Fridge or better not to cool (for the shortbread?)

[@ChainBaker]

I would store it in the fridge and let it come up to room temperature before serving.

[@nopenope1]

@@ChainBaker thanks, yes, I was tending to do this, esp. with the temps of 2023 summer right now ;)

[@georgekhoury4086]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@alinapala]

Nice! I was missing your videos. Now I have a new recipe to try! I´ll use honey, though, because we don't have golden syrup here. There´s something tjat I think is similar, a sort of corn syrup, but I don't like it very much, so honey will be.

[@ChainBaker]

Let me know how it turns out 😉

[@franciet99]

Sorry to refer to another baker… Bigger Bolder Baking has a recipe for Golden Syrup that I’ve used as I’m in the US. Works great.

[@alinapala]

@@franciet99 thank you for the info!

[@helenjohnson7583]

If the salt were sprinkled on before completely cooling, would it stick to the surface better?

[@ChainBaker]

It attracts moisture and kind of ruins the surface.

[@alexanderreynolds6018]

I sprinkled my salt on while the chocolate was still warm and haven't had any trouble with excess moisture in the last 24 hours. ymmv

[@bloodwolf7462]

Yup still here waiting for Chimney Cake recipe ;)

[@TheBereangirl]

Mmmm...so good! I think I'd sprinkle some roasted and salted nuts on top, why not 🤷🏻‍♀️😄

[@LughSamhildanach]

Looking great! I will definitely attempt it next but just a slighly less sugary verion of it :). I know its kinda out of your ballpark but any chance of seeing you doing your own take on mochi ? Again thanks for the awesome content (and the extra pounds) Cheers !

[@ChainBaker]

I've never made it, but I have a good friend who has. Check out his video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3uofoCoo61jm6M

[@DebzBee1967]

Is the Carmel layer slightly chewy .. I love chewy ... Meaning some Millionaire short bread the caramel is more like fudge... I'm not keen on that... Just wondering? 🎉

[@ChainBaker]

It is slightly chewy, but not very much so.

[@kurtttttttt]

Now I can have biscuits with the boss

When I saw the thumbnail I was actually surprised you tried to make Eierschecke but then I read the title...

[@ChainBaker]

I should try that one too someday.

[@felzich]

@@ChainBaker Still watched the whole video to learn something new. Worked on my pizza dough skills over the last months because of the lack of an oven. But be warned, Agent 47, the Eierschecke isn't a trivial task. Actually laughed at "ending up with a really tasty brick". Thanks as always for your content and insights.

"seriously sweet" 😅 Oh, yeah! Well then, I'll have to see how I can get that into two portions; for dessert.

[@kleineroteHex]

Way too sweet for me, but hey, we are all different. Nevertheless, as always: great recipe 😊

[@Khristafer]

What else do you imagine using that kind of caramel for 🤔

[@ChainBaker]

Sandwiching a couple of cookies together. Decorating something. Chilling, cutting into pieces, and coating in chocolate. Perhaps even warm drizzled over some ice cream.

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

How about on top of Charlie's " The Perfect Chocolate Brownies Without a Mixer" kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5umpmuXppWgr5I

[@ChainBaker]

Ooh 🤤

[@catherinedavidson7145]

Swirled into or on top of cheesecake. Boil the caramel to the hard ball stage and you'll have tablet. Mix with whipped cream for meringue filling. Or, there's the classic Banoffee pie. 🙂

[@Jeepy2-LoveToBake]

@@catherinedavidson7145 or use it as a filling for one of Charlie’s fabulous donut recipes?

[@redtanker]

In my household these are called 'mice-cake' as sometimes pieces will disappear from the fridge overnight. Why? Must have been mice. I kinda want to make these, but I also want to lose weight :/
