Millionaire Shortbread

About the dish ...

Host: "It's caramel week. For your signature challenge today, Prue and Paul would love you to make 18 millionaire shortbreads. They have to be identical"

Prue Leith: "What we're looking for in a millionaire shortbread are three distinctive layers. A beautiful soft shortbread, a gooey yet firm caramel, and a gorgeous thin chocolate coating on the top."

Paul Hollywood: "The skill comes in getting the caramel just right. It has to be firm, but not chewy. They could put coffee in it or rum in it ... or orange in it. I'm looking for something a bit special, and I'd like something I've never had before."

Salted Peanut Butter Millionaire's Shortbread

Liam: "I love the combination of salt, sweet. I've been developing it for quite a while now. Put it this way, every time my friend comes to my house, there's always a jar of caramel in my fridge. So he's been to my house a lot."

Voice-Over: "Liam's friend Jamie has repeatedly approved his peanut butter caramel, which he'll sandwich between vanilla shortbread and dark chocolate."

Liam: "So what I've done, I've made my own peanut butter. And then once I've made the caramel, I'm going to add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter into that."

Mary Berry: "How does that react with the caramel?"

Liam: "To be fair, it kind of helps me in the sense of getting the caramel to set. Like, salted caramel is pretty sweet as it is. I like the salty taste. Like, peanut butter balances out."
