  1. This is just the best recipe yet for millionaires shortbread….foolproof! A little tip to get the chocolate nice and even is after pouring and spreading the chocolate over the chilled caramel, bang the tray several times onto a folded tea towel on a hard work surface. This levels out the chocolate and gets rid of any ‘bubbles’. Heat your knife in hot water before slicing to prevent the chocolate breaking or even scour the semi set chocolate to make cutting easy when fully set. Gorgeous, thank you.
