- 1 hour
- Makes 9-12 pieces
Ingredients
Base:
- 200g (7oz) shortbread biscuits, crushed
- 25g (1oz) butter, melted
Filling:
- 150g (5½ oz) butter
- 150g (5½ oz) dark brown soft sugar
- 397g can Carnation Condensed Milk
Topping:
- 200g (7oz) milk or dark chocolate, melted
You will also need:
- 18cm (7in) square brownie tin, lined with baking parchment.
Method
- Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and then lightly press the mixture into the tin to make an even layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
- Place the butter and sugar into a non-stick pan and stir over a medium heat until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves. To make a golden caramel, add the condensed milk, stirring continuously, until the first bubbles appear on the surface. Remove from the heat as soon as it comes to the boil.
- Spread the caramel evenly over the crumb base and then cool and chill for about half an hour. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel, smoothing to the edges.
- When the chocolate has hardened a little, cut into squares.
Tips
Why not make mini Millionaires – simply place into a 20cm (8") and cut into 20 squares, perfect for a picnic or party.
