This is a spectacular recipe! I've made it on several occasions, baby showers, church potluck... Sometimes I use chocolate chips instead of peanut butter, and I also make a white chocolate macadamia version! So yummy!

I used a cake pan for this recipe. I used the same amount of dough and flatten it in the cake pan. Then after you pre-bake the dough and let it cool double the amount of the peanut butter, caramel, and chips. This makes it softer and you can cut it up in to squares plus you get alot more. Enjoy

Love this! I've made it many times and it always gets rave reviews. My 4 year old niece exclaimed that "even the crust tastes good!". I love chocolate, so I use milk chocolate chips instead of the vanilla baking chips. I also don't add the nuts. For someone who is "baking challenged", this is a dessert that I can easily make and doesn't take too much time to prepare. It also looks fancy -- it's great for parties. In fact, I'm making it right now for tonight's Christmas party!

This was really good. I made two changes that I thought really made a difference. First I used toasted pecans and secondly I melted real caramel with 1 T. whipping cream, it really made a difference. I had bought the topping, but when I tasted it, it tasted like it came from a jar, the real caramel was so much better.

I'm not a fan of nuts. So I left them out. The rest was perrrrfect.

Excellent! I have a super sweet tooth and this was a great recipe. The only change I made was to the nuts. While I love peanut butter, I'm not a huge fan of straight up peanuts so I used chopped toasted pecans instead. It was a hit and we will definitely be making this recipe again and again!

I thought this was good. Pretty easy to make. I didn't like how my outside crust got a little to hard but other than that very good. Served best warm.

This was really sweet. Yummy, but sweet. It reminded me of the granola chocolate/peanut butter cookie bites from the bake-off 2 years ago. Except it doesn't have the granola on top. This is easier to prepare. Longer for the filling to set up.
