Millionaire's Bars

Makes about 3 dozen bars



Ingredients For the shortbread: 2 cups all purpose flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1/2 cup sugar

For the caramel: 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces 1 cup sugar 4 tbsp light corn syrup 2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk

For the chocolate: 8 oz semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 1 tsp light corn syrup 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into pieces fleur de sel or sea salt for sprinkling





Directions

To make the shortbread, preheat the oven to 325. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, blend in the flour mix until just incorporated. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and press into an even layer. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
