Caramel Shortbread

Caramel Shortbread, also known as Millionaire Shortrbread, is the perfect combination of buttery shortbread, homemade caramel, and chocolate ganache.

This caramel shortbread is also know as millionaire shortbread. I assume it is called that because it is such a rich, delicious treat. This dessert has three layers. The base is a crispy, buttery shortbread. Next is a thick layer of creamy caramel. It is then finished with rich chocolate on top.
