Millionaire Shortbread is an easy cookie bar that usually pops up around the holidays, but it’s a treat we enjoy year-round! With rich salted caramel, crunchy shortbread, and dark chocolate, they are rich but they’re worth every indulgent bite.
It’s that time of year when many get the urge to head to the kitchen and whip up their favorite cookies and Christmas treats. Millionaire Shortbread bars need to be on your baking list! I love making a few cookie bars with my holiday baking because, with a little prep, you can get a lot of squares to add to your holiday baking trays or boxes to share with neighbors and family. Some of our other favorite bars are Nanaimo Bars, Chocolate Pecan Pie Bars, and Scotcheroos!
How to Make Millionaire Shortbread
Variations on Millionaire Shortbread
Swap a couple tablespoons of flour in the shortbread base for cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist! After the caramel has boiled, stir in coconut, rum, or almond extract for an extra hit of flavor. Sprinkle chopped nuts, dried cranberries, or raisins on the crust before pouring in the caramel Swap the dark chocolate for milk or white, or add a drizzle to the top after the topping sets.
How to Store Shortbread
This Millionaire Shortbread is best stored in the refrigerator or freezer. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for one week or frozen for up to 3 months. I like to make a batch and keep it in the freezer so that I have some ready whenever I want to take a box of goodies to a friend in need!
