The crust came out really dry and floury for me, but the caramel layer was pure gold! This is the easiest caramel recipe I've ever used, and it set up perfectly.

Very good, but could have used more caramel filling. Because you only use half a can of condensed milk, it would make sense to double the filling, but ooooh, the calories! Next time, I'll try with milk chocolate chips.

Very, very good dessert bar! I agree - the caramel does need to set for about 10 minutes prior to pouring the chocolate on top. Instead of making these in a pan, I used a mini muffin tin. Very tedious, but so cute! The only change I made to this was to omit the shortening from the melted chocolate topping... really no need for it, IMO. Will keep this in regular rotation!

These are very good and rich. I messed up and used brown sugar for the crust, rather than white sugar, but it was still really good. I let the caramel/toffee part set for too long before I melted and spread the chocolate on top, so the chocolate did not stick to the caramel layer. Also, I did not use the shortening in the chocolate.

Very good. Though I did find that there was too much chocolate. It overpowered the taste of the caramel and crust. Next time I am going to cut the chocolate in half.

A very tasty bar cookie. I made this recipe two times this past week, once as per the directions and once with some suggested changes. I do NOT recommend that you skimp on the butter in the crust. It will be flavorless if you do! Also, I cut the chocolate chips down to 1 1/4 cups. That made a nice thickness of chocolate on the top without making the dessert all about chocolate. If you use the full 2 cups, you won't have a balance of flavors (in my opinion.) To prevent the chocolate from separating from the rest of the cookie, I found that if I cut it at room temperature there was no problem, but the one time I tried cutting it with it being too cold, the chocolate just popped off each square. I popped the glass pan into the microwave for 10 seconds at a time till the chocolate had softened just a little bit, then had no problems cutting it up.

I made these for a family reunion and the were devoured!!! I will have to say however, the crust calls for WAY to much butter. You can easily cut in half. For my crust I used 2/3 c butter and upped the flour to 1 3/4 c. I doubled the filling and made it in a 9x13.

I made this recipe "as is", with no substitutions and here is what I found. The toffee hardened quickly so I did not need to refridgerate at all and the chocolate spread nice. I needed more toffee - and because it hardens quickly it was difficult to spread after poured on. The cookie crust was too dry and did not stick to the toffee layer. I would need to use more butter next time in the crust. Those squares that I did get to stay together, I presented, and whoever ate them, said they tasted just like Twix bars. Great flavour, needs some tweaking to be perfect.

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!

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......
