help Millionaire's Shortbread FAQ
What are the layers in Millionaire's Shortbread?
Millionaire's Shortbread is usually made with three layers: shortbread, caramel, and chocolate. The base is Scottish-style buttery shortbread rather than a sponge or cookie dough layer.
Is Millionaire's Shortbread the same as caramel shortbread?
Yes, caramel shortbread is a common name for the same layered treat. The 'millionaire' name usually signals the richer three-layer version with chocolate on top.
Why does the caramel in Millionaire's Shortbread leak when cut?
The caramel can leak if it was not cooked long enough or if it was cut before fully setting. Many home recipes chill the slab before slicing the shortbread, caramel, and chocolate layers.
Is Millionaire's Shortbread Scottish?
It is strongly associated with Scotland because the base is shortbread, one of Scotland's signature bakes. Modern versions are common across the UK, often sold as caramel shortbread squares.
