Why Millionaire’s Shortbread Feels Like Cheating

Let’s be honest: Millionaire’s shortbread is the dessert equivalent of showing up to a potluck in a designer outfit and pretending you just threw it on. It looks fancy, tastes like a million bucks, but it’s basically three layers of sugar stacked on top of each other. And yet, every time I make it at home, I feel like I’ve hacked the system. Shortbread base? Easy. Caramel? Just don’t burn it. Chocolate? Melt and pour. The hardest part is waiting for it to set without ‘testing’ a corner (for quality control, obviously). The best part? Watching friends try it for the first time and seeing their faces do that thing where they realize you’re not just a snack-bringer, you’re a snack-genius. So yeah, maybe it’s not health food, but sometimes you need a dessert that makes you feel like you’re winning at life, one gooey bite at a time. #MillionairesShortbread #HomemadeDesserts #BakingWin #Food #Foodie
