These vegan chocolatey treats with maple syrup are just as sticky and moreish as the original Millionaire’s shortbreads. In addition, we have decided to add that extra salted caramel flavour using our natural flavoured Icing Sugars.In fact, with our Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar, you can bake these easy millionaires in any flavour. Try to make it using Lemon Drizzle Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar, or combine flavours. For example, use our Orange Natural Flavoured Icing Sugar for making the Caramel and our delicious Jaffa Twist for making the shortbreads.
