Ingredients

For the base:

  • 200 g gluten free cornflakes
  • 200 g marshmallow
  • 50 g butter

For the caramel:

  • 185 g butter
  • 35 g golden caster sugar
  • 65 g golden syrup
  • 397 g condensed milk 1 tin

For the topping:

  • 200 g milk chocolate
  • 80 g white chocolate

Instructions

To make your base:

  • Prepare an 8x8 inch square tin with non-stick baking paper.
  • Measure out your cornflakes and crush them a little. Don't crush them all super fine, mix it up for a bit of texture. I actually did this with my hands!
  • Place your marshmallows and butter into a large saucepan and allow to melt on a low heat. Keep stirring so it doesn't stick to the bottom of your pan.
  • Once smooth and very sticky remove from the heat and add your cornflakes to the pan. Mix them so all the flakes are coated.
  • Then place your mixture into your tin. Press it down as tightly as you can, it's very sticky but I find it becomes less and less sticky so keep pushing it in. You can use your hands or the back of a spoon works well too.

To make your caramel:

  • Place all your caramel ingredients into a saucepan on a low/medium heat. Allow the butter to melt and the sugar to dissolve. Mix well to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom and is combined.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved and the butter melted, turn the heat up so the mixture starts to bubble a little. Keep stirring continuously for about 5 minutes (although I often going to about 7/8 minutes), the mixture should have thickened and also developed into a darker golden colour.
  • Pour on top of your cornflake layer, spreading it so that it's even. Place in the fridge to set I tend to leave it for no less than 90 minutes.

To make your topping:

  • In separate bowls melt your milk chocolate and your white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave, or in a bowl over a saucepan of boiling water on the hob. If you melt it in the microwave, make sure you mix it every 20 seconds or so to ensure the chocolate doesn't burn.
  • Pour your milk chocolate all over the top of the set caramel layer. Make sure it spreads evenly to the edges.
  • Spoon on blobs of your white chocolate and using a skewer or a knife, swirl the chocolate around to make some random patterns!
  • Place back in the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set. This often takes a couple of hours.
  • Once fully set, remove the millionaires from the tin and slice into squares. To help the chocolate top not to crack - remove the millionaires from the fridge about 30 minutes before you want to cut it. Also I find that warming your knife on hot water before each cut, helps the knife to slide through the chocolate. Enjoy!
