Why just have an amazing rich decadent chocolate brownie when you can combine it with the best parts of a Millionaire Shortbread? This Millionaire Brownie Bar recipe has a brownie base, creamy caramel middles and a dark chocolate topping. To be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of shortbread so a rich brownie base is such an upgrade!
The pan makes 16 squares of brownies, you want to cut the bars fairly small with the creamy caramel middle and chocolate topping, this is a rich bake that is an intense eat! I finished the brownies with edible glitter as these are so extra already, why not go all out and make them sparkle?
The caramel is easy to make with only a few ingredients, just need to be patient and not thicken the mixture too much. When working with hot sugar, remember to always be extra careful.

Breaking up any sugar lumps, and once melted. bring to a rapid boil for a minute or until the mixture thickens. Keep stirring throughout. Take the pan off the heat, and pour the caramel over the cool brownie. Leave to cool at room temperature then transfer to the fridge for at least a couple of hours or overnight.
