I'mPat - I'm sorry!
Admittedly - confections are not a strong point for me but I missed something with this one! Base was good - tasty and easy. Caramel part - not so good. The liquid wasn't thick enough and when mixed with the cream and butter - it didn't improve. The filling leaked through the base and I'm afraid I didn't get any further. I'm posting no stars as its far more likely that the "bad" is at this end and don't think it deserves a bad review on my feeble attempt!
