How to Make Millionaire Bars

Step One: Shortbread Layer

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees and lining a 9 by 9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Add the almond flour, salt, coconut flour and coconut sugar to a large bowl and whisk together. Add in the coconut oil (make sure it is room temperature), vanilla extract and date syrup and mix together with a wooden spoon. Place the shortbread mixture into the baking dish and spread out evenly then press firmly down. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes.

Step Two: Caramel Layer

While the shortbread layer is baking, start making the caramel layer. In a small saucepan, combine the date syrup, coconut cream, coconut sugar and salt. Heat over medium heat until just boiling then turn to low to let simmer for 10 minutes, making sure to stir continuously to prevent burning. Remove from heat and add the coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pour the caramel into a glass container and let cool on the counter for 10 minutes. The shortbread layer should be done baking at this time, remove it from the oven and let cool on the counter for 10 minutes. Then place the shortbread layer and caramel (separately) in the fridge for 20 minutes. Take the shortbread layer and caramel from the fridge and pour the caramel over the shortbread layer. Place back in the fridge for 10 minutes to set before adding the chocolate layer.

Step Three: Chocolate Layer

Add the chocolate gems to a glass bowl and heat in the microwave until melted. I heat in 30 second increments and stir every 30 seconds. Once the chocolate is melted, pour over the caramel and gently spread out evenly. Sprinkle with sea salt and let cool in fridge, about one hour and thirty minutes.
