Method
1. Set the oven to 160C/gas2. Lightly grease a 20cm x 33cm oblong/ Swiss roll tin.2. Place all the ingredients for the base into a food processor and whizz together until they form a smooth dough (if preferred this can be done by hand in a bowl).
3. Press the mixture into the base of the Swiss roll tin and prick with a fork. Bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden and firm. Set aside to cool.
4. To make the topping, place the butter, sugar, syrup and condensed milk into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the butter has melted.
5. Bubble the mixture gently for five to eight minutes, stirring all the time until thick and fudge-like. Pour over the cold shortbread in an even layer. Leave to cool.
6. Melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
7. Pour the chocolate over the toffee and leave to set. Cut into small squares and store in an airtight tin.

This is the 2nd time I have made these and my advice, stay away from semolina unless you can find the ground semolina flour, otherwise the texture is just too coarse and crunchy for my liking. That said, the recipe works just as great if you substitute the semolina for cornflour; this produces a softer more buttery texture. Caramel works amazingly and a pinch of salt reduces the sweetness if you fancy. This is a great base recipe and is easy to tweak to your own taste.

I made these yesterday but dont have a 20x33 tin so I cheated and used a brownie tin. But they turned out amazing! I didn't use all of the caramel though as I found it would have been too sweet with it in a smaller tin, plus now I have caramel sauce for a tray bake tomorrow ! Yummy recipe! Will definitely be doing it again as it went down really well!

I don't make this too often, but when I do it's a real treat and always loved. I recently made it for my work colleagues and had to give them the recipe. It's my Dad's absolute favourite and I've just made it for him for Father's Day, had to make extra for hubby and kids otherwise I'd have been in big trouble. Yum

A lovely recipe that has become very popular with friends and family. I tend to reduce the base ingredients a little as it was a bit too thick for my taste, so I use 175 to 75g.

Really lovely textures...very easy to make.... I had loads of compliments. I also agree with the suggestion of cutting the chocolate just before setting point.

This is a great recipe and very easy to make. If you add a small tsp of instant espresso powder to the melting chocolate it will really bring out the chocolate flavour. Also, gently slicing the chocolate into your chosen size of squares (just before it sets in the tray) will stop it from cracking when you finally cut it into pieces.

Delicious - I added orange zest to the caramel and used 2 bars of Lindt Excellence dark chocolate intense orange for the topping - that really made it special.

OMG, this has got to be the best recipe i've tried for millionaire shortbread, light, melt in your mouth shortbread, gooey delicious caramel and they taste amazing, I must admit I opted for milk chocolate as the kiddies hate dark....so what are you waiting for have a go.

hey you can cut it into pieces without the fudge squirting out,,by dipping the knife in very very hot water and then cutting the pieces.....its foolproof

i absolutely love this recipe and think the proportions make enough for my friends and family. by the way, to the person who asked about how to cut the pieces without squidging the caramel i find that if you cut the pieces whilst the chocolate is still a bit soft, there is not as much pressure on the caramel-therefore it does not squidge out. hope that helps!
