These were really tasty and super easy to make! The bottom layer was very cakey, we expected a denser type of "crust". Next time (and there WILL be a next time!), I'll use more caramel in the center. Thanks for posting!

What a great recipe - can't wait to share it with my granddaughter who loves to bake. So easy to make as well. Will be taking some of these delicious bars to share with my class this morning -- I know they'll love them.

I have the same book and have made these many times. Everybody loves them and always asks for the recipe.
