Step 2 of 5
Add the crushed biscuits to a large mixing bowl and pour over the 55g of melted butter. Mix it together thoroughly until it resembles wet sand and decant into the lined tin. Spread the mix evenly across the base of the tin and press the mixture down firmly (don't forget to get right into the corners!). Pop in the fridge to chill.
If you're in a hurry, you can also put the tin in the freezer to chill and set each layer. Also we've suggested using extra baking parchment to hang over the edges of the tin as you'll be able to lift your finished millionaire's shortbread recipe out with ease!
Step 3 of 5
Gently heat the sugar and 150g butter in a heavy based, non-stick pan, stirring until melted. Add the condensed milk and bring to a rapid boil, stirring continuously. Cook for around a minute or until the filling has thickened. Pour the caramel over the base, then allow to cool. Once cooled, chill in the fridge or freeze until set.
Step 4 of 5
Melt the chocolate in separate bowls. Pour the dark chocolate over the caramel and then add spoonfuls of the melted white chocolate. Swirl together with a spoon for a marbled effect that'll ensure your millionaire's shortbread recipe looks as good as it tastes.
Step 5 of 5
Place back into the fridge to chill until set. Once set, remove from the tin, dip a sharp knife into hot water (this will make it much easier to cut) and then dry it briefly before using it to cut the shortbread into squares.
These scrumptious squares are great to share with friends but if you do have any left over you can keep them for up to two weeks. Simply put in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge.
