I’ve got a batch of these in the oven! A few questions – it isn’t clear from your directions whether any walnuts go into the dough mixture- it’s pretty dry without them, so I ended up just sprinkling them over the filling / as well as I used about half the amount of chocolate. Also, when I went to spread half the dough into the 8×8 pan, there wasn’t quite enough to cover the entire bottom of the pan so I used a little more – then the filling covered the bars like a soup. so I made little cookie dough islands to lay on top. It’s baking now and I’m excited to try!!
So, these turned out fantastic as far as taste and texture are concerned – they’re delicious! Kind of like a magic cookie bar or seven layer bar :) I love them hot or cold. Thanks!!
I’m so glad it worked out for you! This is definitely a unique recipe 🙂 So happy to hear you enjoyed them! Thank you for the feedback!
Ok, I wanted to love these. I really did. But, I have to be honest, they were just awful. I followed the recipe exactly as written and they ended up just mushy as can be. As the only other review mentioned, there was just not enough dough to adequately create two layers for the salted caramel filling to go in between, and it is also a rather thick dough so I don’t see how you could ever really spread it on the top of the filling. I used cashew butter so maybe they would turn out better with regular butter? And there was way to much chocolate. There was no way to know whether they were done after 15 minutes of cooking due to the chocolate and caramel filling, but the top was browning so I thought perhaps after they set for a while as mentioned in the recipe they would work out. Definitely didn’t. Now I have to go make an entirely different dessert for my gathering and I am out quite a bit of money from those expensive ingredients. Please consider revising your recipe. I am a fan of your products but this was a big swing and a miss.
Thank you, we appreciate your feedback. I am sorry you had a bad experience with this recipe 🙁 We will take this into consideration when retesting this recipe 🙂
I absolutely love this recipe! I just made my 4th batch of these. I just stick the walnuts into the top of the dough & spread the caramel on top before I bake. Each piece still gets some caramel & it’s way easier that way. Hope that helps!
I’m so glad you love it!! Thank you so much for the feedback 🙂
