Wait…Vegan Millionaire Shortcake Squares … STOP THE PRESS!

I can’t even!

Thanks to Mariza over at Life In The South

You now have THE perfect Vegan Millionaire Shortcake Recipe. Rich caramel bars made with three layers of crispy and buttery shortbread, thick caramel, and chocolate ganache sprinkled with sea salt flakes – what’s not to love here right? Made with basic pantry ingredients they’re super easy to make and impossible to resist. I have always been a fan of Millionaire Shortcake but have NEVER made them, only just stolen them from friends houses thinking they must be super bakers or have a local hook up I clearly didn’t know about. But now I have the perfect recipe. If you don’t want them to be vegan you can substitute with normal butter easily. Same Same Which makes it versatile to your needs and lifestyle and that’s what we are all about at The Refillery.

You must give these a go and let us know how they turn out.

Enjoy these little beauties!
