Millionaire Bars
Ingredients
Cookie Dough Layer:
- 3 sticks unsalted butter, (room temperature)
- 1 1/2 cups white granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Caramel Layer:
- 2 cans (14oz each) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 12 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla paste
- 1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
Chocolate Layer:
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (chopped)
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- Pink Himalayan sea salt
Instructions
Cookie Dough Layer:
- Line a 9-inch rectangular pan with waxed paper or parchment paper; the later needs to be sprayed with non stick baking spray. Ensure that the paper overlaps all edges to facilitate removal from the pan.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitter with the wire whisk, combine butter, both sugars and salt until soft and creamy, beat for about 1 - 2 minutes.
- Mix in the cream and vanilla bean paste. Scrape the sides and the bottom of the bowl with a spatula.
- Add in the flour and mix in until combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop the cookie dough into the prepared pan into an even layer. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Caramel Layer:
- Add all the ingredients to a medium sauce pan over medium heat.
- Whisk until the sugar dissolves, the butter melts and the mixture comes to a boil. Keep whisking constantly, until the caramel becomes thick, about 6 - 8 minutes. A candy thermometer should read 225 degrees F.
- Pour the caramel over the cookie dough layer and refrigerate until the caramel is set, about 1 hour.
Chocolate Layer:
- Add chocolate and cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 25 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is about 75% melted. Stir until the mixture is smooth and shiny.
- Spread the chocolate over the caramel layer and sprinkle with pink Himalayan sea salt.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Before serving, run a knife thru the sides of the bars, using the paper overhang, lift the bars out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board.
- Slice the bars with a sharp knife, wiping the knife with a paper towel between cuts.
- Slice into squares and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
