Just when we thought a millionaire shortbread couldn’t get richer, we switched up the classic recipe to feature layers of chocolate shortbread, chocolate caramel, and an added bonus of a cookie 'n' cream filling. The snap of chocolate with chewy caramel is still one of our favorite combinations, and bites or crushed-up Oreos just make these that much better. Using a sharp knife that has been run through hot water will help give you cleaner cuts.
