now that makes me Happy!!! Thanks for the recipe, it looks fantastic.
Oooh, my favourites. They are sooo scrumptious. You can buy cansof Dulce de leche from Sainsbury's, etc to make the whole caramel boiling and faffing bit easier. I'm LOVING your lovely blog.
I LOVE millionaires shortbread!I've never made it,but the ones I buy..and the best in my opinion..are the M and S ones.I'm going to give Mary Berry's recipe a try,I have her Ultimate Cake book,and all the things I've tried from it have been really good.Bellaboo :o)
Hi Happy, We call that 'Chocolate Caramel Slice'down under and I used to make it and sell it at the local markets with my other home-baked goods- before everything became so official regarding selling food. I also made a 'Peppermint Choc Slice' that was popular too. If you'd like to see my mega choc cake see here: http://delcie-teapartyland.blogspot.com/2010/08/mega-chocolate-cake.html
These are all my friends favourite so make them all the time. I love them with white chocolate best.We sell lots at our open gardens.When I make them next I will think of you!
Mmmmm!! Sounds and looks pretty tempting!!
omg.. would you pass some this way! looks divine!
OMG that looks sooo yummy, I am so going to try that…although I'm will need to convert everything to cups and tbsp's lol Thanks for sharing!
Delicious.
If you like Mary Berry watch her on "the great british bake", tuesday nights, its a fun programme a bit like masterchef!Heather x
That shortbread looks simply scrumptious! yum, yum! :-)If you haven't done so already, please feel free to enter my giveaway! Lots of Cath Kidston, Sarah Smith and Keep Calm Gallery goodies up for grabs to celebrate 3 years of blogging. 🙂
those look heavenly!
Mmmm I'll be giving these a bash. The kids will love them! Lx
Ag! I love those things!When I first came across them in Devon the caterer who made them for our Guide company called them 'Wellington Slices'. I don't know why. In France they are cut up very small, because the French don't have our sweet tooth, and called 'sables eccossaises' which means Scottish shortbread.So thanks for the recipe and I may just be trying it myself for the first time…
I have never tried making Millionaires Shortbread, but I think I will.Julie xxxxxxx
Yummmmmy! I must try some soon. I have a friend who is a chef and she makes what we have called "billionaires brownies" – same thing but on a brownie base instead of shortbread. DEEEEELICIOUS!
Wow, these look super yummy!Maureen
a perfect addition to a tea party! you always look so smart with your ingredients in grams and such – we americans don't measure that way! so now I have my work cut out for me…well, maybe I'll just get my 13yr. son to do it 😉 good math project!xo+blessings,Anne Marie
Those look a little like heaven!!
