This just did nothing for any of us. It sure sounded great, it was very easy to make but what a surprise when none of us liked it. (5 people - 1 is a kid)

While good in concept, this recipe didn't quite work out for me. I read the reviews and followed their advice, but the cookie came out extremely crumbly and would not hold together. Part of the problem was the force needed to cut the caramel, even with a heated knife, crushed the delicate shortbread. I only managed 3 cuts per heating before the knife destroyed the cookie with the force needed, and even the ones that cut would fall apart half the time when I picked them up to transfer to the tray. I might try this again with a different cookie recipe, one that is a little less delicate, because the caramel came out very good, and I bet it would have worked out well if the base had held together.

Crumbled and the layers fell apart. With how time consuming it was to make, expected a better cookie. Save yourself the time and buy a twix.

I was disappointed. Caramel becomes grainy withing a day or so - I wished the caramel were 'milkier' tasting, too, and not so sweet. The overall taste was kind of 'cheap' even though I used 8 oz of Callebault semi sweet Belgian chocolate.

Oh so good. I followed the recipe - but had a hard time with the caramel. I used a double boiler and it never seemed to get hot enough. Next time might just use one pot. Also should have made it a day ahead as the caramel was still a bit soft when I cut them. But regardless I won second prize at my yearly Christmas cookie exchange!

These taste just like Twix chocolate bars. Yum. I followed others' suggestions of doubling ingredients (except the chocolate chips on top - it doesnt need it) and the freezing, chilling etc. They turned out perfect. I couldnt just stop eating them. Probably one of the best squares I've made.
