Caramel Shortbread

Millionaires shortbread to some, presumeably due to some historical wealth index which dictated only those with plums in mouths could partake of the luxury of bare biscuit covered in caramel and chocolate. Quite how they managed both plum and biscuit... But, for today, in the age where the chocolate, caramel and wierd fluffy stuff of the mars bar (the fuffy section resembles the liner of some pipe at a chemical factory) has been overtaken by the "boost", scientific caffeine fuelled, fatty's "power bar", which unfortunately tastes like shit, the caramel shortbread is surely a more down home, down with the kids, snak of the people?
Clearly I don't like the name Millionaires Shortbread.
Caramel Shortbread though is gorgeous.

Too thin chocolate? Too crumbly biscuit? Too runny caramel? I'm going to find the perfect caramel shortbread biscuit...

bit of sticky toffe pudding is good enough for the rest of us but it's clear you have aspirations despite your claims to the contrary. do you take afternoon tea on the patio?
