This was outstanding. DH adores Caramel Machiattos, so I thought I'd give this a whirl. I used a single-serving springform pan (4x6) so I scaled down the recipe to '2' servings and it fit perfectly. Personal preference, we also topped with a bit of Heath bar candy. Thanks! Update: Made this for a get-together and enjoyed it. It's a wonderful rich dessert... a perfect after-dinner play time for your taste buds. :)

I made this for a work bridal shower last week, and it was a hit! It didn't look so cute once it was cut into, but I think it was partly because we didn't have a good knife and partly because I drizzled the top with dulce de leche sauce and it thinned out the topping quite a bit once it sunk in. No matter though, everyone enjoyed it anyway. I had a box of Dulce de Leche Oreo's on hand, so that's what I used for the crust (a little extra caramel flavor added in couldn't hurt, right? lol). Thanks for posting!
