Easy Shortbread Millionaire Bites Recipe
These easy treats are made with shortbread cookies, chewy caramels, and chocolate. Think of them as a "hack or shortcut" Millionaire Shortbread Bar! The caramel is baked until melted on the cookie and then allowed to set before being dipped in chocolate.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the shortbread cookies on the baking sheet at least ¼ inch apart.
- Slice the caramels in half and place a half on each of the shortbread cookies.
- Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until the caramels have melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool, about 20 minutes.
- Once the caramel is hardened enough that you can touch it without it being sticky, microwave the chocolate melting wafers in a medium bowl on 30-second intervals until melted.
- Drop the cookies caramel side down in the chocolate then use a fork to gently flip them and scoop them out of the bowl, scraping off any excess chocolate before placing them back on the baking sheet to set.
- Repeat with all cookies and top with sprinkles or sea salt before the chocolate hardens.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
- I used Lorna Doone Shortbread Cookies. They are easily found, square, and don't have holes so the caramel doesn't seem through.
- I used kraft chewy caramels.
- If you cannot find melting wafers, you can substitute with 2 cups of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
- The caramel hardens after baking and becomes more toffee-like which makes them easily dippable. These have a slightly chewier texture than a Heath Bar but that's the closest thing I can describe them to. Not quite as soft as traditional millionaire bars.
- You can also make these my melting the caramels in a lightly greased microwave-safe bowl on 30-second intervals, stirring between each one until melted or in a light greased pot on the stovetop over medium-low heat.
