This recipe just did not work for us at all as it is written, but I am giving it 4 stars because it did work with some changes. Initially, I used Recipe #174356 for the base, Recipe #174356 for the caramel topping, Recipe #174356 for the frosting. I ended up doing the whole recipe a second time, exactly as written and using store-bought items, and came up with the same results: the caramel topping bubbles up through the peanut butter layer and becomes too brown in some spots, and creates a raised edge around the edges of the pan. The peanut butter layer is extremely dry and crumbly, (which I am assuming it should be because the directions say 'sprinkle the topping'), but it just does not bake up well. The whole thing looks pretty under the layer of frosting, and the taste is pretty good-when you get a bite that holds together and isn't overly browned. So we played with the recipe a bit, and I had great success doing the following- baking the cookie layer and letting it cool, then drizling on some caramel topping. I use Recipe #29679 for the peanut butter layer (the graham crackers, butter, powdered sugar, and peanut butter), then covering with a chocolate frosting and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Still very sweet, but very very good!

Now I post all recipes I've tried or would like to try. I'm actually making it my goal to try almost all the recipes I've posted as soon as I can. I love food and I love to eat and try different recipes. My favorite course is dessert. I love sweets! This leads me to that I did have Gastric Bypass surgery on July 25th 2008. On that note I love baking and cooking a priceless gift passed down from my grammy who I dearly loved and miss deeply. My grammy passed away 1/15/07. She was a wonderful cook and baker and taught me many things and the most valueable things was how to be a wonderful cook and baker like her. I really enjoy searching for new recipes especially here on Zaar. I'm always finding and adding to my cookbook new and exciting recipes. I also enjoy posting recipes here on Zaar as well. I really love collecting different cookbooks. I have over a 100 and growing! I collect mostly Taste Of Home & community cookbooks. The minute I get a cookbook home I sit down and I read my cookbooks from front to back like novels. I work for the Elmira City School District and YWCA. I'm raising my 8 yrs old newphew. I'm a part time college student studing Early Childhood Education, but taking time off and hoping to return soon. I live in Elmira, New York where famous writer Mark Twain did some of his writing and he once lived. I have 1 cats Samantha and 1 dog our newest member MOO MOO (my nieces dog) who are my children as I do not have any human children of my own. I lost four of my very dear children (kitty's) Callie June 2007, Miss Kitty in March 2010, my dog Angel in December 2010, and my other cat Chase in September 2011. I'm recently married on August 12th 2010. I love spending time with my niece 9 yrs old and my newphews 7 & 8 yrs old. I enjoy couponing and trading coupons. I love the internet as there's so much to look at online even though you know where I spend most of my time! I enjoy going to yard sales and estate sales every spring - fall. I love gardening and have many different pretty flowers.</p>
