I had a really good recipe for this from a KakeBrand book from years ago. Can’t find the book and wondered if anyone had the Book/Recipe? I haven’t made it for a while and suddenly remembered it!

Millionaire shortbread
200g P flour
100g semolina
100g granulated sugar
200g spread

Topping
175g spread
175g soft brown sugar
84g (60ml) golden syrup
397g tin condensed milk

400g milk chocolate melted

180°c oven. Tin 20x20cm lined with baking paper

Rub all shortbread ingredients together until a large ball. You can't roll it out. So put lumps into tin and using spoon dipped in flour flatten out to level prick it all over.

Cook 25-30 mins until golden brown let it go cold

Topping
Put all ingredients into a pan heat until all melted and simmer until thick and fudge like keep whisking takes 10-15 mins .

Pour over cold shortbread and let go cold and put into fridge for 30 mins

Melt chocolate. Cool slightly before pouring over topping . Tip tin to coat the filling . Let it go cold .

Don't put into the fridge until it is cold and you have cut it into squares in the tin.

I forgot the second time I made it and put it into the fridge before cutting and the chocolate shattered tasted great but looked awful.
