These bars are to die for! It is almost impossible to eat just one; the combination of shortbread, homemade caramel, pecans, and chocolate is irresistable! Not only that, these bars are also pretty easy to make, and always turn out well! Thanks for a wonderful recipe; I will make these often!<\/p>\n
These were sensational! I increased the flour to 2 cups as others suggested and doubled the butter\/brown sugar mixture. I also doubled the chocolate chips and used chopped pecans instead of the halves. They tasted like a pecan sandie with a melted heath bar on top. Delicious!<\/p>\n
This recipe was really good! I think it needs a tad more chocolate, (I was unable to swirl it) I also would have wanted a little more caramel\u2026 With those changes, though, I will make it again! Thanks!!!<\/p>\n
