The hubby and I really liked these. They are very sweet but great. The only reason I didn't rate it a 5 star is that the directions forgot to mention that you have to let the toffee layer set before spreading the chocolate on top.

Great...you have to be very careful to cook the carmel a full 5 or 6 minutes, if you don't the carmel layer will be runny. I've made this recipe twice. once I wasn't really careful about cooking the carmel and they were a mess to serve. Good luck and enjoy!

Very easy, and very good!!

These were good - but not memorable. I added about 1/2 cup chopped pecans with the flour, sugar and butter (cookie layer). Based on other reviews I decreased the chocolate chips to 1 1/4 cup with 1 generous tablespoon of shortening (this worked well). Since I anticipated the toffee/caramel being sweet - I used bittersweet chocolate instead of semi-sweet... this was a good pairing. However, if you're not accustomed to bittersweet chocolate you will probably not like it as much as semi-sweet chocolate. I only have a 8x8 square dish... the cookie layer was a tad too thick, I would have liked a slightly thicker toffee/caramel layer, but it was enough... the chocolate layer was just right (with the reduction). If I make these again I will definitely add pecans to the top of the chocolate too. If you are having difficulty getting the filling and/or chocolate to "set" - put it in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes. This should do the trick - I made these on an exceptionally hot day and the chocolate was still runny until I refrigerated it. Also: Although I prefer to melt my chocolate for an easier even spread - you can also sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the hot toffee/caramel mixture and wait to melt before spreading.

4 stars because, although they're tasty, I found the instructions lacking/misleading. You really do need to wait til the caramel sets up (or refrigerate it for quicker results) before you go ahead and spread the chocolate on top. Very rich, so cutting them into small pieces works great and you end up with lots! Thanks for letting me try.

Didn't really like it.. I think it would have been better had the "cookie" crust not just been butter, flour, and sugar. The filling wasn't that great either......

These are sooo good! I made these to send to work with hubby, but now I have to make more to keep here at the house! I do agree with Cher's little girl that they taste like twix bars! Thanks for the recipe! I will become a regular in our house!

Holy Cow are these good!!!! I made them for a bake sale but after sampling one I'm making another pan right now to keep!!! Perfect recipe, thank you!

This recipe was amazing!! my husband and I loved it and I will be making it for desserts to bring to get togethers definately!.. my only suggesting is to let the carmel part set for quite a while until its hardend a bit(maybe put it in the fridge a while then put the chocolate on.. I did it the way the recipe said and the chocolate mixed with the carmel and didnt harden for a long time I ended up putting it in the freezer..but when it set..it was delicious!! thanks and I will be using this again and again!!

These were soo good! I thought they were exactly like another recipe I had called Millionaire Bars but these are much better. They require more ingredients but it's so worth it. The middle is soft and chewy and the shortbread is a perfect balance with all the sweet. I will definitely make again! Also, 2 c of chocolate chips is too much, I used 1 1/4.

They were good, but I think I will try another recipe next time.

These are awesome. A few years ago, a friend and I along with her Mom were in a bakery in Ontario. We bought squares that were divine, and I have been looking for a recipe for them ever since. Well. I need look no longer - these are the one! I followed the base and filling as stated, and before putting the chocolate on top, put the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden the toffee. It worked well - and the chocolate spread easily and smoothly. There might be too much chocolate - but no worries, next time I make them (and there will be a next time), I'll just halve the amount of chocolate chips. Thanks for the recipe Karen - it brings back wonderful memories of a special visit with a friend.

quite yummy! i'm only rating them a 4 because i've had better recipes but these are pretty tasty none the less!

Maybe I used to small of a dish, It didn't set up and there was way to much chocolate. But the flavor was great. I will try again in a bigger dish.

This recipe turned out excellent and it was very easy. I will definitely make again....soon

The whole family loves this. We shortened the last step by just dropping milk chocolate chips on top while it was hot & letting them melt. We have even made this and discovered we were out of chocolate chips and loved the bars anyway! Maybe next time we'll try adding pecans to the shortbread too. Delicious and easy!
