### 👩‍🍳 How to Make Millionaire Bars

#### 1. **Make the Shortbread Base:**

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together butter and sugar until light. Add flour and salt, mix until dough forms.
Press into a parchment-lined 9×13 pan and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden. Let cool completely.

#### 2. **Cook the Caramel Layer:**

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, syrup, and salt. Stir constantly for 10–15 minutes, until thick and golden.
Pour over cooled shortbread and spread evenly. Let it set at room temperature or in the fridge.

#### 3. **Add the Chocolate Topping:**

Melt chocolate chips with butter or cream until smooth. Pour over the caramel layer and spread evenly. Let it cool completely until the chocolate sets.

#### 4. **Slice & Serve:**

Use a sharp knife (run it under hot water for clean cuts) to slice into bars. Serve and enjoy!
