I made a slightly different version of this recipe for my dad's birthday, I ended up using this caramel recipe which worked perfectly (swapped the corn syrup to glucose syrup because I'm in Australia) and instead of the shortcrust base I used 250g blitzed Digestive biscuits with 90g melted butter and a few tablespoons of sugar, all mixed together and pressed flat into the tray, then baked for 20ish minutes untill I could smell it was ready, then after the caramel I put chopped Toblerone and violet crumble sprinkled on top once the caramel had cooled a little bit... Turned out amazing because of this simple caramel recipe!!!

I use this recipe pretty much to the tea, because it's a very simple millionaire shortbread recipe. But if you take a cup or 1/2 a cup of salted peanuts and put it in a food processor and make your own peanut butter, and put that on top of the room temperature hardened Caramel. and then put the melted chocolate on top and it is delicious. It cuts through the sweetness of the entire shortbread and chocolate caramel mixture, and it gives a saltiness and a much needed It just cuts the sweetness down and it's amazing. But you have to make your own peanut butter. You can't use Jiffy or Smucker's or natural peanut butter. You just have to do it your own self.

This reminds me of a recipe in my mom's Betty Crocker from the 60s for Toffee Squares. It is a Brown Sugar short bread and then you put the chocolate on top (we always put it directly on the warm shortbread and let it sit for a couple of minutes and then spread it) and then sprinkle with chopped walnutes or pecans. I remember them fondly.

Millionaire shortbread is a favourite in my house in the uk. Quick tip if you are using vanilla pod in a recipe where you can’t use the pod skin (I have a shortbread recipe where I add seeds). You can add scrapped pod in to a jar of white sugar, shake occasionally and you get lovely vanilla sugar to use in baking ect using something that would otherwise go to waste.

In Australia (where I’m from) it is called caramel slice, however it’s not quite the same. The base has coconut in it and it normally (well, in the best caramel slices, anyway) is thinner than what you see in millionaire’s shortbread. We also generally don’t use corn syrup in baking, either, so the caramel filling is slightly different.
