I decided to make these for Thanksgiving dinner last night and boy were they good! Everyone that tried them liked them. The chocolate and caramel topping was really not necessary but I used it anyway. Would have still been just as good without it. My bake time was exactly 40 minutes. Thank you for posting this "go to" recipe.

These were okay. Everyone wanted a taste. This makes a delicious ice cream topping! I was looking for a more distinct "bar" and less overlap and overflow. The ingredients list would have been more user-friendly with sections, like "Crumb Crust", "Filling", and "Topping". Thanks, cookiemakin'mama! Made for PAC Fall '09.
