MAKING CARAMEL

pistachioed: millennialfalcon: LETS U LICK THE TWO MIXER THINGIES

Nice! I love millionaire's shortbread, one of my favorite holiday desserts to make

second layer done!!!

usamichan13: LETS U LICK THE SPATULA

The_Raging_Nerd: its actually way easier than I expected but god SO MUCH BUTTER

it's easy it just takes a lot of time

oh sweet mother of god this caramel came out SO GOOD

it's rich. not overly sweet, buttery, and has the nicest subtle maple flavor

OM NOM NOM

it being maple flavored just makes me want it MORE

it's not super overpowering, either, the maple taste is very subtle but adds such a nice flavor

lil pinch of salt in there too levels stuff up so much

yessss

Nice!!!!!!!

chocolate ganache done!!!!

third layer done and all is cooling now!!!!

;w; i really hope it came out okay, weh

Ooh, looks tasty.

how long does it normally take for everything to set/firm, because good lord, it's still not firmed up

was the caramel fully set before you put the chocolate on?

pistachioed: it wasn't super hard, but it was firm

weirdly though, the recipe said to chill for ten minutes and I definitely took longer than 10 minutes to make that ganache so

oh yeah i never trust rest/chill times lmfao

idk i would say pop that in the freezer for twenty minutes and see where it's at

Give it three hours

I'll probably wait since this is technically for work.

okay so i tried it and the caramel and ganache is really good, but the actual shortbread seems to break apart a lot?? though I did only sample the edges, which are more charred/crisp than the rest....

shortbread can be pretty crumbly

Yeah, shortbread is fragile.

It's the same thing that makes it so soft and melty

Yeah shortbread is the type of cookie that breaks apart super easily and it’s crumbly

Oooh okokok I was scared I got the consistency wrong

Thank you friends ;w;
