I made this two days ago, and shared it with friends and co-workers. It was gone fast. Delicious! So easy too! I melted 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips as the recipe calls for and 1/2 cup of 70% cocoa dark chocolate bar together. Instead of two toffee bars chopped, I used one and bought the Heath Bits o' Brickle. I mixed the toffee bar into the cookie dough and used the brickle for topping. The result was a not-too-sweet dessert that everyone loved! Thanks, Giada!

I'm thinking about making this recipe for a party two days from now. Will making these bars tonight and leaving them out for about 5 hours melt the chocolate/mascarpone?

I, like the others here, made this desert for Mother's Day. I was very suprised when I tried the Mascarpone Chocolate as it almost tasted like a truffle - absolutely delicious! Everyone wanted the recipe!
I wouldn't recommend eating more than a couple of 1x1 bars unless you want a tummy ache as it is so very rich. Next time, I am going to try filling a pastry with the Mascarpone Chocolate. I bet it will be a hit as well!

I made these Sunday morning (after watching the show on Saturday. They are incredibly easy to make and unbelievably delicious! Everybody who has tried them has raved about how delicious and wonderful they are! I do recommend keeping the pieces small as this is a pretty rich dessert.

Wow-wee, this dessert was FANTASTIC! It looked quick and easy and required only a few ingredients, so I decided to make two batches to bring along with me as I go visiting today on Mother's Day. The first batch has already been eaten at my in-law's house and was a hit! A few things to mention - I used a 9 inch square non-stick pan, since I did not have a 7 x"almost 11" pan as the recipe suggests. I sprayed/papered as instructed, and it worked out perfectly. I did have to increase the bake time, since it was still pale, wet, and doughy looking after 14 minutes. It probably took a good 6 minutes more, maybe even a bit longer. It did bake up with sort of a raised edge all around the sides with the middle part being sunken down a bit (Giada's seemed like a totally flat bar when hers baked up and so instead of spreading the filling all the way to the edges of the pan, I just went as far as the raised edge of the dough and it ended up looking really nice just the same. I added an extra half of a toffee bar to each recipe, just for some additional toffee, and after chopping it with a knife, I decided the pieces were a blit large and ended up tossing them in a bag and whacking them with a meat mallet to make them smaller "crumbles". This way, there were no large hunks of toffee on top of the finished bars to get in the way of cutting nice, even pieces. They are RICH - I actually cut the pan into 32 bars and that worked out really nicely. One last thing - I burnt my almonds while toasting them (hmph... and so I omitted them. Didn't even miss em'! Try this dessert and you won't be disapointed!

I made this with cream cheese instead of the mascarpone cheese...it still turned out great! And it was very affordable to make. This will be a new family favorite.

What an easy way to make your guests feel like you slaved in the kitchen for hours. This recipe was simple to make and it tastes out of this world. I m ade it with my daughter and of course she had a ball of fun without making a huge mess. I would make this recipe again any time!

So i'm a food network junkie...i watch and want to make everything I see, but when i saw this simple easy to make dessert, I went directly to my local supermarket.
It was cheap, easy and fun to make.
Since Mother's Day is tomarrow I decided to give some to a friend and a mom, with saving some for myself of course. They are absolutly great.
Thanks so much for a cheap and easy recipe.
