Indulgent Caramel Millionaires Shortbread Slices with Ombar Chocolate (Gluten Free)
Decadent layers of chocolate, biscuit and caramel. Dreamy, totally additive, yet super easy to make. Perfect for a tasty snack or dessert.
These delicious caramel slices might be one of the best desserts I’ve ever made. The simplicity of the recipe does not mean these decadent slices lack in flavour or texture. They’re ridiculously good.
All you need to do is layer the deliciously nutty almond base, then the gooiest date caramel and then rich dark chocolate–the result is incredibly delicious.
There was a real danger of me wolfing these down immediately, so I chopped them up and popped them in the freezer. And the best bit, they can be eaten straight out of the freezer! Colder and more bite–but I LOVE that.
For the top rich chocolate layer I used my favorite Ombar raw chocolate–the 72% is just perfect for desserts. Dark, but not too bitter. I really hope you enjoy these!
