Love the ease and flavours of the cookies. They are very rich and a little goes a long way. What I didn't like was how difficult it was to cut into bars after letting the chocolate cool in the fridge. Next time I will try cutting before chilling.

These tasted good, but they were so hard I could barely cut them. My kids threw the carmel part away and ate the cookie bottom and chocolate top. They said the carmel was just too chewy. If I make them again I think I'll take "creativecuts129's" advice and use the dulce de leche by Nestle.

I thought these were awesome and I found nestle makes this dulce de leche in the can so you don't even need to make the caramel even better so easy everyone loved them thanks Claire

I made the caramel in the slow cooker - far easier and guaranteed results! Put a saucer/bowl in the bottom of the slowcooker/crockpot so the can doesn't leave a rust ring - and plan a can of condensed milk on it, cover with water ensuring the water covers the top of the can. Leave on low for 8hrs, and voila! Simple & delicious!

I also melted chocolate in the microwave with 1tbsp butter to give it a nice glossy finish. Just trying not to eat it before our guests arriving..it's not looking promising!

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.
