Millionaire's Shortbread - Salted caramel and chocolate slice recipe, New Zealand

Millionaire's Shortbread - Chocolate Caramel Slice

Millionaire's Shortbread or Caramel slice however you prefer to call it is pure indulgence in three perfect layers.  A buttery crumbly shortbread base with a tropical  hint thanks to the coconut,  a thick ribbon of smooth salted caramel and a glossy chocolate topping.  Each bite is rich, sweet and satisfyingly balanced. We like to cut it into small squares, more of a bite rather than a slice, and serve it  as a sweet treat or as part of a petit four plate.
