MangiaMore: MILLIONAIRE bars

It may be too late to whip these up for jolly old Saint Nick, but these Millionaire Bars will hit the jackpot all year round.

We have had this recipe for Millionaire Bars printed out for a while now, probably even months, but I was not crazy about all the steps. Patience is not one of my strong points, but my sister took one for the team and put in the work.

The recipe may be a little time consuming—make shortbread, cook, and cool; make caramel, layer, and cool; make chocolate, pour, sprinkle sea salt, and cool. “Cool” is code for wait for what seems like forever, meaning eating these cookies feels like it will never, ever happen.

But it did! And when it does, you will not regret the wait. There are three luscious layers that are totally delicious on their own, but when they come together in this cookie bar, bingo, you’ve hit the lotto. The sandy buttery short bread crumbles, bending to the chewy sweetness of the caramel, while the chocolate rules, creamy and smooth. But it is those fat crystals of sea salt that make the magic. The salt makes all the flavors reflect a different light, adding an inexplicable complexity and prism of profiles—sparkle.

These were definitely a sweet addition to our Christmas roster. Hope everyone had a delicious and marvelous holiday, surrounded by the people (and foods) you love!
