I had decided that for Valentine's day this year, I would bake my boyfriend something. I asked him in advance what he wanted, and whilst he gave me a list of different kind of cakes he enjoys I couldn't find a recipe that I liked for any of them, and so decided to go with my gut instinct and try out making some millionaire shortbread. It also meant I had the chance to surprise him!
The recipe came from my £1 Chocolate Recipes book again. Making the shortbread base was simple, as was the melted chocolate topping. The trouble came from the caramel part. Despite following all the instructions, it burnt slightly, and wouldn't thicken up as much as I'd hoped, however after a quick taste I decided to try it out anyway.
The results weren't bad. As I'd suspected, the caramel had been too runny, which meant that when I cut the millionaire shortbread up into squares, the caramel was oozing everywhere, and the whole thing looked a bit of a mess. However, it tasted good - and my boyfriend really enjoyed it, which was the main point for this week's recipe.
