Caramel chocolate layered bars

Introduction

Caramel chocolate layered bars, often called Millionaire Bars, are a luxurious treat featuring three distinct layers: a buttery shortbread crust, a rich caramel layer, and a glossy chocolate topping. Loved for their melt-in-your-mouth texture and indulgent flavor, these bars are perfect for special occasions or whenever you’re craving something sweet and satisfying.

Ingredients

Shortbread Crust:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar

Caramel Layer:

1 cup (2 sticks) butter
¾ cup white sugar
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons light corn syrup

Chocolate Topping:

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine butter, sugar, and flour until crumbly. Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until lightly golden, then set aside to cool.
Make the Caramel:
In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, condensed milk, and corn syrup. Heat over medium, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a light toffee color (about 240°F, soft-ball stage). Pour the caramel evenly over the baked crust and let it set.
Add the Chocolate Layer:
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the caramel layer while it’s still warm. Wait a few minutes until the chocolate melts, then spread it evenly with a spatula for a smooth finish.
Set and Slice:
Chill the bars in the refrigerator until firm, about 1-2 hours. Once set, slice into squares or bars and serve.

Conclusion

These caramel chocolate bars are an irresistible combination of textures and flavors, offering a delightful balance of buttery, gooey, and chocolatey goodness.
