WOW! This is incredible! The only chocolate in the house was a bag of Dove dark miniature hearts. I think I'll use Hershey's milk chocolate next time. But this is a terrific recipie! I can see why they're in all the tea shops. They weren't invented yet when I was there because I didn't see them then, but OOOH! I think I need another..... Next time I'll bake it a little less, maybe 20 minutes and 15. The shortbread is very crunchy and I think I prefer a little tenderer cookie. The edges of the carmel layer are chewey and crunchy--delicious! We'll see how they age and mellow--if they last till tomorrow. The cook keeps going back for samples! (LOL) This is a great one! Sorry, (not really) this is not diet fare. Great with hot tea or ice cold milk!

It's millionaire's shortbread!! I made this for a cake sale in school and it was sold out within 2 minutes. Very rich and fairly expensive but totally worth it.

Absolutely amazing and straightforward to make. I made them for a themed potluck where everyone brought a dish from the country from which their ancestors originated. They went like hotcakes! I can't wait to make them, actually I should say eat them, again.

Really tastey but the caramel layer was a little think relative to the other layers. I would reduce this by a bout 1/3.

These were excellent! Everyone loved them. The only thing I did differently was to place the chocolate (I used Doves miniture milk chocolates) on the bars while they were still warm. Then when the chocolates melted all you have to do is spread them over the bars. I can't wait to try more recipes. Thanx so much for posting this!!!!!

The only way i can describe theese little delectable morseles,"Out of this world". I wish i could give it 10 stares. Recently i have been craving caramely stuff and this was spot on. I Baked my crust for 21 minutes and the caramel layer for 17 minutes, the results was soft with abit off crispy caramel on the sides. I didnt put any chocolate on becauce the only chocholate i had on hand was Lindt dark chocolate taking another reviwers advice I thought it would be to intense and ruin the taste so i left it out.

My SIL made these for our Christmas party and they were terrific. She did cook the shortbread base for the time specified and it was too crunchy. When I make these I will cook the base less. BTW, people were trying to hide portions of this to take home. It also freezes well IF you have any leftovers. And you can eat it right out of the freezer if you like

It's shortbread topped with caramel topped with chocolate - how could it possibly be anything but decadently delicious?? Sooo beautifully rich! Like Countrywife, I too would bake these a little less the next time, as the crust did turn out a little dry and fragile around the edges. Tastewise it makes little difference though. I'm off to have another one. Thank you!!
