Mini Egg Millionaires Shortbread
Prep Time15 Minutes

Cook Time40 Minutes
Ingredients
1 cup Western Family Salted Butter, room temperature
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Western Family Pure Vanilla Extract
1 Western Family Egg Yolk
2 cups Western Family All-Purpose Flour
1 can Western Family Sweetened Condensed Milk
1/2 cup Western Family Salted Butter
1/4 cup Golden Corn Syrup
1 cup Light Brown Sugar
1 tsp Western Family Pure Vanilla Extract
1/4 tsp Salt
1 1/2 cups Western Family Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
Mini Eggs, crushed/chopped
Micro Mini Eggs
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- On medium speed with an electric mixer, cream the butter. Then add in the sugar and salt and mix until fluffy. Then add in the vanilla extract and egg yolk and mix until combined.
- Add in the flour one cup at a time and mix until just combined. Pour flour mixture into a parchment-paper lined 9x9 inch baking pan. With your fingers, press firmly into an even layer. Bake for around 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- In a medium pot, combine all the caramel filling ingredients together: sweetened condensed milk, butter, light brown sugar, golden corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whisk over medium heat and once everything is melted together, continually whisk while caramel bubbles and darkens in colour. (You can take the temp with a candy thermometer). Caramel is ready once the temp reaches 225F/it will thicken and pull away from the edge. (Be careful, it’s very hot!) When ready remove from heat. Pour on top of shortbread, and smooth caramel into the edges to make sure the layer is flat. Chill for at least 10 minutes to set.
- In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 25 second increments about 3 times, stirring in between each time. Once totally melted and smooth, pour over the caramel layer. With a spatula, smooth chocolate into an even layer.
- While chocolate is still soft, sprinkle chopped Mini Eggs and Micro Mini Eggs all over. Chill for at least an hour to allow to set, and once set, with a sharp knife, slice into 25 squares
- Enjoy!
