Mini millionaires' shortbread - (quick version)

A much easier and quicker way of making these but also very nice. There is a lot of left over caramel for more deserts. If you are really lazy you could use tinned caramel (although it doesn't take long to make) such as Carnation's caramel.

Millionaires' shortbread
Serves: 4, but easily increased - just add 1 more biscuit per person and a bit more butter (leave the chocolate and caramel amounts, as they are likely to be in excess anyway)
Prep time: About 20 minutes or less of actually doing anything, a few more minutes for sitting in the fridge


Ingredients
4 biscuits (shortbread/ ginger/digestive)
About two heaped teaspoons of butter
150g butter
150g dark muscavado sugar
397g can of condensed milk
2x 100g chocolate, in dark and white/milk
Gold lusture spray
Also need ramekins- we used the glass ones that those supermarket Gu puds come in

Method

1. Put the biscuits in a freezer bag and mash to crumbs with a rolling pin. Melt tsps of  butter in a small bowl, then mix in the biscuit crumbs and combine until it holds together fairly well (if not add a bit more melted butter).
   
2. Press into 4 ramekins and put in the fridge to set. Meanwhile-
3. Melt the butter and sugar together over a medium heat until dissolved. Stir in the condensed milk and mix continuously for about a minute until thickened.
4. Pout about 2/3 tsps of the caramel over each ramekins(or more...) - the rest is extra
   
5. Fridge again. (10 mins or so, until set)
6. Break up the chocolate into separate bowls and melt in the microwave in ten second bursts, mixing between each. Stop when about half is melted and mix until completely liquid.
7. Distribute the dark chocolate between the ramekins (or you can do half/half with the milk or white chocolate) then chill until solid.

   

   The fourth one will not be shown here as Alice messed up the decoration ;)

8. Use a teaspoon to drizzle over the melted white/milk chocolate and spray on a bit of edible
   gold to finish.
   
   
   
   
9. Store any leftover chocolate and caramel and to make these little banoffee pies:
   
   These took under 10 minutes to make because the caramel was already sitting in my fridge and just needed heating a little, and all it required was a few more crumbled biscuits and chopped banana. Grate over some chocolate and serve with cream...
