Billionaire Bars

Yum-O!  This is a very rich little dessert bar!  The original recipe was not GF but I used my GF flour and it turned out great!  The recipe came from Pinterest and was found at cjudithwhite.worldpress.com.  

Butter Cookie Base

1/2 cup white sugar

2 Tbsp light brown sugar

tiny pinch of salt

2 1/4 cups flour

1 cup unsalted butter

Billionaire Filling

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk

1 tsp pure vanilla

Billionaire Topping

2 cups milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees, line 9 x 13″ baking pan with foil (parchment paper also works), and spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray.

Melt butter, and added it to all the dry ingredients. Stir until it holds together like a dough.  Press the dough into the prepared pan, prick it with a fork all over, and bake it for 25 minutes (until lightly browned). Let it cool and prep the filling.

For the Billionaire filling, heat butter, brown sugar and condensed milk over low heat in a heavy sauce pan.  Let the mixture lightly simmer, and stir it constantly until it thickens and becomes a medium caramel color (about 20 minutes..yes it’s an arm workout).  Remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla, then pour the filling over the cookie base and spread it evenly.  Let this cool completely before adding the chocolate topping.

Melt the milk chocolate and spread over filling.  Melt white chocolate and spread over milk chocolate, then swirl with a knife.  That just makes it pretty!

This recipe is really good and works well when altered with GF flour.  The butter cookie base almost tastes like a shortbread cookie.  It's not real sweet - but that is quite alright since the rest of this yummy goodness is very rich!! My kids love it and Kasen is going to take some to his teachers tomorrow.  :-)

Happy Baking!
