This recipe is totally awesome, the main point when doing the caramel part is to keep stirring it on a low temperatute until it is amber color, otherwise it will be burnt. Thank you Claire this recipe rocks!!!

Fantastic! I've made them twice and both times I brought them to family gatherings. Everyone asks who made them and if they could get the recipe. They are absolutely Delicious!

The shortbread from the recipe is great, but I sub icing sugar for regular, just a little trick from mom. I also added some fleur de sal to the last step before the chocolate set as another viewer suggested. But I do have a beef with the caramel and therefore caution to use a ready made version of dulche de leche. When attempting to make the caramel I followed the directions to a t, and ended up with very messy not quite dark amber colored version of caramel. I don't think it tasted correct either. After reading some other reviews I saw that this was a common problem. I'm not sure where I went wrong but I feel as though if I goofed others might. All in all I think the potential is there for an excellent recipe! Novices beware, and experts can probably tweak and avoid disaster, I unfortunately fall some where in between. Cheers, and happy new year

These were delicious and super easy. I added a little Vanilla extract at the end of the caramel process and topped the bars with a little large grain sea salt before the chocolate set. Superb. I wish this show was still on.

These are absolutely delicious and easy to make! In cooking the caramel layer, be sure and cook/stir as long as it takes for the condensed milk to turn the amber color as that helps it set up to the right consistency for cutting the bars. When I first cut the bars, I felt 24 bars were too big. I cut them so that I had 64 servings (36 per each panwhich was still a nice serving per person because the cookie bars are very rich. I encourage everyone to try them! They are fantastic!

What a disaster! My caramel took half an hour plus to become a light caramel color and by then it was just a big messy globule, not pourable or spreadable. I followed directions, stirred continuously in a heavy bottomed saucepan. The shortbread was delicious but the whole thing was a disaster. this was supposed to be given as a gift......ugly stuff. Just have to give wine.

I am not a great cook! But I think ingredients is the main success of this recipe, I use all organic ingredients of high quality plus good quality chocolate, the first time I made this recipe was highly successful so this year I'm going to make these for Christmas gifts, but remember not to use cheap ingredients.

Well worth the effort. I have been asked for the recipe many times when I make this. Last time I made it I put a whole salted cashew in each square before it was fully set. Well done Claire! Thank you for a great recipe.

My daughter is the superstar at her school. They lined up and ponied up a buck for a little square. PTA is passing out the recipe.
