You absolutely have to try this toffee millionaire's shortbread because it's genuinely easier to make than you'd think. I came across it when I was craving something indulgent but didn't want to spend all day in the kitchen, and honestly, it's become my go to impressive dessert. The dark brown sugar actually contains molasses, which gives you a bit of extra minerals and a richer flavour than regular sugar. The whole thing comes together in just an hour, and most of that is baking time, so you're really only looking at about twenty minutes of actual work. Once you've made it once, you'll be whipping up batches for every gathering.
