The combination of textures and flavors in these millionaire shortbread bars makes eating just one slice impossible.<\/p>\n

One bite of this incredibly rich dessert will show you why they’re called “millionaire” bars! <\/p>\n

Although this is a layered dessert, each component is easy to make and the bars can be prepped days before you plan on serving them. A 9×13-inch pan of bars stretches to make 24 servings easily, making this a great party dessert that’s not your standard brownies or bars! <\/p>\n
