I’m so excited to share my first Easter recipe of the year! I’ve created recipes around all of the popular Easter chocolate treats which I’ll be sharing in the run up to Easter. First I bring you these luxurious and indulgent Galaxy Golden Egg Millionaire’s Shortbread. Galaxy Golden Eggs have a beautiful golden shimmering exterior, and inside is creamy Galaxy chocolate and crunchy bits. The fact they are golden made me think of decadence and luxury. Millionaire’s shortbread immediately came to mind! This Galaxy Golden Egg Millionaire’s Shortbread features buttery shortbread, gooey caramel and milk and white chocolate swirled on top. A luxury Easter treat!
Step by step…
To make the biscuit base I mixed together butter, golden caster sugar and flour. I pressed it into the bottom of a line tin. It baked for 30 minutes until it was golden brown. I let it cool completely.
I made the caramel by melting together butter, sugar and condensed milk. Once it was melted I turned up the heat and let it bubble for 7 minutes. I poured the caramel on top of the biscuit base and put it in the fridge to cool and set.
Next, I brought the caramel and biscuit back to room temperature before adding the melted chocolate. I smoothed the milk chocolate all over then added the white chocolate in blobs.
Then I used a cocktail stick to swirl the mixture around, then added the Galaxy Golden eggs in neat rows.
Let the chocolate set at room temperature and it will be much easier to cut into neat slices. If you really can’t wait, set in the fridge, then use a hot knife (be careful!) to melt through the chocolate. The Galaxy Golden Egg Millionaire’s Shortbread was absolutely sumptuous, and every bite felt like complete decadence.

If you can’t find golden eggs, you could use Mini Eggs, Smarties Eggs, or any other chocolate eggs you like! You could also use Galaxy chocolate for the topping if you’re feeling flush (or it’s on offer!)

Golden Eggs are definitely my favourite of the mini eggs, but then I have always been a Galaxy girl. Your millionaires shortbread looks amazing and the golden eggs crown it perfectly x
Thank you so much Kate!
Your millionaire’s shortbread looks so pretty Kat. Definitely a cut above the average. I’ve still not tried golden eggs, but I really must. They look so elegant. Thanks for sharing with #WeShouldCocoa.
