Chocolate Orange Millionaire’s Shortbread; crumbly shortbread base, a layer of salted orange caramel, and a generous layer of orange chocolate too. Mouth watering yet?

There are some things in this world that just cannot be improved upon.

Stranger Things, Nutella, the first two generations of Pokémon games, Justin Trudeau going to work in that Clark Kent costume…

However some things, though great in their original form, can be amplified with just a little tweak to make them EPIC. These Chocolate Orange Millionaire’s Shortbread bars are a prime example of such a successful tweak. (You are forgiven if you read that as “successful twerk.”)

Chocolate Orange Millionaire's Shortbread

If you’re not familiar with the Millionaire’s Shortbread (also known as a caramel square or caramel slice, it’s something I believe was created in the UK); it involves a layer of shortbread, a layer of set caramel, and a top layer of chocolate. It’s a staple in coffee shops, food courts and garden centre cafes. It’s also my dad’s absolute favourite sweet treat, so we see a LOT of it!

We were recently discussing it around the dinner table, and were throwing around some ideas on how to jazz it up a little for modern tastes. I already have an incredible Salted Caramel Millionaire’s Shortbread recipe on the blog, but we thought this treat deserved more than one variation. My ideas were mostly peanut butter or Nutella related, obviously. At some point, one of us mentioned orange and I was instantly into it.

And so, this heavenly Chocolate Orange Millionaire’s Shortbread found itself floating out of the oven this week, and straight into our mouths.

Crumbly and buttery orange-laced shortbread, soft salted orange caramel, and a thick layer of creamy chocolate, topped with dark Terry’s Chocolate Orange slices. Are you dying for these yet, OR ARE YOU DYING??

I’m delighted that these turned out so well. All the flavours and textures are friends, and they leave you wanting another slice right away. I can see many more flavour collaborations involving this old favourite on the horizon…

  1. Love it

  2. I ve made this several times, and I adore the extra Orange in the shortbread, rather than just the chocolate orange melted on top.
