Another recipe from America’s Test Kitchen’s \u201c100 Techniques\u201d<\/a> book , which is now definitely on my list of favorite cookbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortbread is a cookie native to Scotland. It is made with sugar, flour and butter, with no added baking soda or baking powder. Shortbread gets its name because of its crumbly texture. The word “shortbread” used to have another meaning: “inelastic\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millionaire’s Shortbread is a Scottish shortbread with caramel filling and chocolate topping. This dessert has many different names, depending on the region. It is called: caramel shortbread, caramel slice, caramel square or millionaire’s slice. But the most popular and most familiar name to everyone would of course be “Twix”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For simplicity, you can call this dessert a “homemade Twix”. Everything is the same here: a sandy base, caramel filling, and a top layer of chocolate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only we will use dark, bittersweet chocolate, but you can always replace it with milk one if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

⏱ Cooking time \u2014 3 hours and 20 minutes overall. Includes 45 minutes of preparation and cooking + 2 hours and 35 minutes unattended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
