Hey everyone! Hope you all had a great easter. I really wanted to try do this recipe inspired by millionaires shortbread. I love the base I use for my brownie so I thought I would mix things up and create this. The only slightly tricky thing in this recipe is the caramel part. Its only 3 ingredients but you want to make sure you get it thick enough and to a nice rich amber colour. Also, please make sure to cool completely after each step.

This recipe uses chocolate so if you have load of Easter eggs around the house, us them up! You can top this with whatever chocolate you prefer. I used milk and dark chocolate.The dark chocolate helps with the sweetness. I also topped mine with some flakey sea salt. It works so well! An optional step.

Happy baking!
