Ingredients

7 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 1/3 c. (10.5 oz.) shortbread cookies, crumbled in a food processor

CARAMEL LAYER:

How to make No-Bake Millionaire’s Shortbread Bars

Step 1: To make the cookie layer, start by greasing an 8 x 8-inch baking well and set it aside. In a large bowl, place the cookie crumbs, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix well until combined.

Step 2: Into the prepared pan, evenly press the shortbread mixture. Place in the fridge until firm.

Step 3: For the caramel layer, place the brown sugar, butter, and sweetened condensed milk in a small saucepan. Bring everything to a boil. Once boiling, adjust the heat to low and simmer while stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened.

Step 4: Over the hardened shortbread base, pour the caramel. Then, return it to the fridge.

Step 5: Let the chocolate with 1 tbsp butter melt, then pour this over the caramel layer. On top, sprinkle some coarse sea salt.

Step 6: Place in the fridge until set before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
