Millionaire Bars are an indulgent layered dessert made with a buttery shortbread crust, a rich homemade caramel filling, and a smooth chocolate ganache topping that slices cleanly after chilling.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (shortbread)

3/4 cup superfine granulated sugar (shortbread)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (shortbread)

1/2 tsp salt (shortbread)

14 oz sweetened condensed milk

1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (caramel)

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup heavy cream, room temperature

1 tsp pure vanilla extract (caramel)

1/2 tsp salt (caramel)

2 cups milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream (ganache)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch pan with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and superfine sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in flour, vanilla, and salt until a soft dough forms.
  4. Press dough evenly into the pan and bake 20–25 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Cool the shortbread crust completely.
  6. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and cream.
  7. Cook, stirring constantly, until thick and deep golden.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
  9. Pour caramel over cooled crust and let set until firm.
  10. Heat chocolate chips and cream in short intervals until smooth.
  11. Spread ganache evenly over caramel layer.
  12. Refrigerate 1–2 hours until fully set.
  13. Lift out using parchment and slice into bars.

Notes

Use a sharp knife and wipe between cuts for clean slices.

Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty finish.

Let bars sit briefly at room temperature before serving.

Chilling overnight improves firmness and flavor.
