Coconut shortbread, homemade caramel, chocolate, coconut and bounty make the best bounty millionaires ever! <\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So we all know that I adore anything millionaires shortbread<\/a> right?! I have oodles and oodles of recipes now including my back to basics millionaires shortbread<\/a> where I have spoken in much detail about the various components to a millionaires shortbread. <\/p>\n

I also have my malteser millionaire<\/a>s, Biscoff Millionaires<\/a>, and so on – there are so many! But one that I really fancied trying after several requests?! Bounty millionaires! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shortbread<\/h3>\n

To make sure I stayed a bit more true to the classic millionaires shortbread, I decided to make a shortbread baked base, but coconut-ify it. I love the texture of a shortbread and it’s super easy to make using plain flour, butter and sugar. Adding coconut?! Insanely easy. <\/p>\n

I use desiccated coconut to add a delicious flavour to this bounty millionaires base – by literally just adding it into the shortbread mixture. <\/p>\n

I normally use 275g plain flour, 200g butter, and 100g of sugar as it’s super easy to remember the ratio. It really is that simple! But to make it coconut themed, I subbed 250g of flour for 50g of desiccated coconut and it worked like a dream. <\/p>\n

As desiccated coconut is so light it looks like a lot, but it’s worth using – it creates a delicious flavour and oh my days I adore it. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Caramel<\/h3>\n

The caramel is made up of four ingredients; butter, sugar, condensed milk and golden syrup. This is the ultimate caramel for me, and I will always stick to it! It’s much easier to make than you think as well… just always stir. <\/p>\n

You have to make sure to stir the caramel a lot to prevent it from catching and burning. I use a medium level of heat, and a larger pan so its easier to stir. You have to be careful as it obviously does get VERY hot, but it\u2019s worth it. It is delicious and heavenly. I\u2019ve received comments about people getting little dark coloured lumps in the caramel, and this is down to catching.<\/p>\n

I use a gas hob because I much much prefer it for making caramel. I get that not everyone has gas though \u2013 some have electric, some have induction \u2013 but on my gas hob, I usually use between level 7 and 6 of strength on a medium-size ring, on my 9 level hob. <\/p>\n

You also want to use a flat bottomed spatula, like these ones<\/a>. Using a spatula with a sharp corner means you can really scrape the caramel, and prevent it from catching in the corners!<\/p>\n

I decided to not make the caramel coconut flavoured, but you can if you wanted.<\/p>\n

Topping<\/h3>\n

The topping for my bounty millionaires is fairly simple by just using a melted milk chocolate, chopped up bounty bars and then also some extra desiccated coconut because it just looks pretty. <\/p>\n

I liked the idea of using milk chocolate because it works perfectly with the bounty, but you can of course decorate with whatever chocolate you fancy! There’s no rules when it comes to the topping chocolate. <\/p>\n

Tips & tricks <\/h3>\n

One top tip for the chocolate topping if you struggle to cut it without breaking is to use a small spoonful of coconut oil or vegetable oil in your chocolate – this will take the edge off the cutting so it’s not so hard. <\/p>\n

I find it best to set my bounty millionaires in the fridge so it’s quicker, but also it firms the caramel up perfectly. If you find your caramel is too soft even after setting in the fridge, this does mean it was under boiled and there is nothing you can do now other than enjoy a slightly softer caramel. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, you can\u2019t cheat and use a tin of carnations caramel and stick it on top as it doesn\u2019t set. I know I don\u2019t often make my caramels from complete scratch as many of my readers prefer the easier versions, and I get that, but for Millionaires Shortbread? You do.<\/p>\n
