Vegan Millionaire’s Bars

December 15, 2022

Vegan Millionaire's Bars
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Vegan Millionaire’s Bars with a flaky shortbread base, a rich chewy caramel centre, and a thick chocolate topping.

These super indulgent bars are easy to make, and can even be decorated with a white chocolate swirl for extra panache!

If you’d like to make this Vegan Millionaire’s Bars recipe gluten-free simply substitute the all purpose flour with gluten free flour. I love to use Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour in my baking. It’s so easy to substitute since it’s a one to one ratio, and it has a lovely delicious taste and texture.

Ingredients in This Recipe

Vegan Millionaire's Bars
Shortbread Base
  • Vegan Butter
  • Vegan Sugar (such as Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Fair Trade Sugar)
  • All purpose flour (or substitute with gluten free flour such as Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour)
Caramel Filling
  • Vegan butter
  • Vegan sugar
  • Maple syrup
  • Condensed milk (You can find some vegan condensed milk here)
Chocolate Layer
  • Vegan chocolate chips (You can use dark or semi-sweet or any vegan kind you like. Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet are a great option!)
Optional White Chocolate Swirls
  • Vegan white chocolate chips

  1. Add in the all purpose flour and beat again until a dough is formed.

  1. In a large saucepan, add your vegan butter, vegan sugar, maple syrup and vegan condensed milk.
Vegan Millionaire's Bars
  1. Melt on a low-medium heat until everything is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
Vegan Millionaire's Bars
  1. Turn the heat up to a medium heat and boil the mixture for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture has started to turn more golden and thickened. Stir constantly with a spatula so the bottom doesn’t stick. (Ensure your caramel thickens enough so that your Millionaire’s Bars are not gooey in the centre!)

  1. Pour the caramel onto the shortbread and leave it to set in the fridge for two hours or more.
Vegan Millionaire's Bars
Chocolate Layer
  1. Once the shortbread and caramel layer are set, melt your vegan chocolate. To melt: add a couple inches of water to a pot and place a heat resistant bowl on top so it is resting on the edges of the pot, but not touching the water. Heat water on low. Put chopped chocolate or chocolate chips in the bowl, stir often. Remove bowl from the heat once the chocolate is melted to prevent burning. Pour chocolate over the shortbread and caramel layers. If adding white chocolate, continue to last step before leaving in the fridge to set.

  1. Leave the Millionaire’s Bars to set in the fridge until solid. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.
Optional White Chocolate Swirls
  1. Melt your vegan white chocolate (using the same method you did for the regular chocolate) and pour over the squares. Use a fork to move it around or make swirls. Leave the Millionaire’s Bars to set in the fridge until solid. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.

    These bars will last in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to a week.

    Can These Be Frozen?

    Absolutely! These Vegan Millionaire’s Shortbread Bars freeze really well. Simply wrap the individual bars in plastic wrap or parchment so they don’t stick together and freeze in an air tight container or ziplock for up to 3 months. Thaw completely at room temperature.
