Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F) and line an 8x8 inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix 150g gluten-free all-purpose flour, 50g caster sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon salt.
Add 100g unsalted butter (softened) and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingers until you have a crumbly dough.
Press the dough into the prepared baking tin, flattening it with the back of a spoon for an even base.
Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine 100g unsalted butter, 100g light brown sugar, 400g condensed milk, and 3 tablespoons golden syrup.
Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the mixture begins to bubble. Continue cooking and stirring for about 10 minutes until thick and fudgy.
Pour the hot caramel over the cooled shortbread base and spread evenly. Allow it to cool and set completely, at least 1 hour.
Melt 200g dark chocolate with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula or knife.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the fridge for a faster set. Once firm, slice into 16 squares using a sharp knife.
Serve and enjoy your Gluten-Free Millionaire Shortbread!
