    I think that they need to check this recipe. Water is NOT mentioned for either the carmel or the brownies but is in the directions. As for the cookie base, I think it didn't have enough flour. Mine was very puffy, with a large gap between the top and bottom-looked like a souffle and ended up almost like toffee- maybe it should just be baking soda? I have used many of Giada's recipes, and they have been great, till this one. It was an expensive mistake.

    WOW! These are amazing, made mine without the coconut. Very good, but a little one goes a long ways. Great for sharing with a crowd.

    Very good. I love chocolate chip cookies so I made it twice differently, one with the brownie and cookie layer and another one with two choc chip cookie layers. It's sooo good.

    OMG, these are heavenly. made recipe as is except no expresso and 1c coconut. better to make day ahead so the caramel sets. might use less caramel next time, but not much. i am on a diet, so this is my splurge for the day . 1 piece is 432 calories, 20 fat. per my calculation. worth the treat..

    Note to users: there's two versions of this recipe. One has a chocolate dough cookie crust and the other is a more traditional vanilla dough crust.
    A fun recipe to try but ingredients are costly and it makes a TON of bars.
    Not ideal for hot weather, as the caramel gets everywhere!
    I would increase the baking time for the cookie crust by at least four minutes so that you get less crumbling.

    These bars were amazing. Everybody loved them. They are very filling, practically a meal within themselves so I cut them a little bigger than a bite size but I have already been asked to make them again. Delicious Giada!!

    These bars were good. I have to remember though that I'm honestly not too much a fan of brownies so that's probably why I didn't care much for them. They make a lot, and using Duncan Hines, I noticed the brownies fell apart. This was even after I let them refrigerate and come to room temperature. I don't really know if I will make them again. The only thing I really loved about the entire recipe was making the caramel sauce. It was really easy.

    This dessert was a big hit. Plus, it looks impressive. I didn't have time to put it in the fridge for an hour. Turned out just fine without it. YUM!

    Very good. I had trouble cutting them into nice bars because the caramel layer was too thick. I will do this one again, but with less caramel.
