The flavor is good, not delicious, texture again, not great. Like others said not impressive nothing you would want to bring to a party. pretty unattractive.

Next time I'd only use 1/2 Cup of butter because I found the crust and crumble too greasy. I also had to bake it much longer than the recipe stated. And, in an attempt to "spring clean" my pantry, I subbed cinnamon chips for chocolate, pecans for walnuts, and added in crystallized ginger. My "caramel ice cream topping" came from whisking 2 Tbsp of heavy whipping cream and 1/2 bag of Kraft caramel bits melted in the wicrowave. Almost added pears - maybe next time.

Super easy recipe, reviews on how they tasted aren't back yet. I omitted the nuts but didn't substitute anything more than a few extra semi-sweet chips, so that probably affected the consistency. Mine turned out a little gooey with all of the caramel. Next time, if I omit the nuts again, I will make more crust to contain everything. I did bake an extra 10 minutes to achieve the golden brown and used softened rather than melted butter as others have suggested. No problems getting it out of the well-buttered pan other than all of the sticky caramel.

These are one of the most delicious cookie recipes I have ever made.AND I just stumbled upon them one late night surfing! I agree with other reviewers that the final baking time should be increased to achieve golden brown color. I am now going to sub peanut butter and chocolate for one batch and dark chocolate and raspberry preserves for another and finally hazelnut spread for my final batch. I think there are really endless possibilities for this recipe and I'm sure they will not last long. Happy baking!

Excellent recipe! My kitchen is being remodeled, and I do not have a sink or dishwasher. I mixed the ingredients in a gallon sized zipper bag, melted the butter in a paper bowl and stirred the caramel with a plastic spoon. To bake them, I bought a cheap $1 foil pan. They came out HEAVENLY and without a single dish to wash!!! It's our new favorite recipe and I am baking another batch right now!!! The only thing I did differently was to use pecans instead of walnuts. Mmmmm!

Absolutely delicious! The cook time was a little longer for me, about ten more minutes for it to brown. Regardless, they were so good and chewy. I don't usually like nuts in desserts but you don't even notice them in this recipe (I used chopped pecans). The perfect balance of ingredients. I will make this again and again.

I made with the exact ingredients from the recipe. But used only 1/2 c butter instead of the 3/4 cup called for. They came out fine:not too crumbly These are, by far, one of my favorites bars, after making them. I only had an 8 x 8 pan, so mine were a little thicker, which was even better, in my opinon. I really enjoyed the chewy oatmeal part with the soft chocolate center, and the crunch from the nuts. I didn't use parchment or foil like some did (in their pictures) and other than sticking a little on the very edge, I had no trouble getting them out of the pan. But I did let them set up overnight before cutting. Thank you, for submitting this outstanding sweet treat recipe!

Yummy and easy! I did use my homemade caramel that didn't quite firm up. I also used, all whole wheat white flour and 1/2 cup butter, instead of 3/4 cup butter. Also used a heaping 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chips and heaping 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips. Sprinkled half with chopped pecans. Very yummy!
