These are soooooooo good!!! I made them over the holidays with fabulous results. Everyone that tried them absolutely raved over them. They looked great too. My only advice is to allow enough time to let the layers cool before adding the next, especially between the shortbread and caramel. Yum!! I can't wait to make them again!

Definitely put in the Candy category. This is not a cookie and seems like a fat cousin of a Twix bar on steroids. It was very rich and way too sweet for us. I really liked the caramel and plan to use it for other desserts and pies. I would also suggest using the Williams-Sonoma Scotch Shortbread recipe for those who found the "crust" to be dry and crumbling.

the caramel was rock hard, turned to crumbs when I tried to cut it into pieces, flipped it over and cut from the bottom at least I could get "squares" tasted awesome but my son's friend lost a tooth on the caramel, think I will play with the caramel portion to see if I an get a better result, very disappointing.

Did not work out, the caramel all melted down into the shortbread.

These tasted SOOO delicious. However, I had problems with the shortbread layer being too crumbly. I tried several suggestions but they didn't seem to fix things. This didn't hurt the taste in any way. For presentation reasons, next time I'll try a different shortbread recipe.

This recipe is great! One thing thought, give the squares enough time to cool and enough time for the chocolate to get hard. These caramel squares taste better with time! They were a favorite for my New Year party! Will definitely make again!

WARNING: you can never make enough of these! They are also best to give away quickly or you will eat the whole pan (which should be a double recipe!) and feel really guilty. :) FYI...took the suggestion to chill and found them too hard to cut...as hard as it is, it is best to cool at room temp all the way and then cut.

tasted just like homemade twix bars!! very sweet, but definitely worth making! I didn't have milk choc chips so instead I mixed dark choc chips and semi-sweet chips. Very good! Make sure you have some milk to drink with it!
