These are so delicious it's hard to stop eating them. And they look so beautiful too! They've won awards at the fair every year I've made them.

Made these for our state fair with a variation of my own and they were a delicious and tasty award winner. My mom loves them, too! They also taste great with caramel sprinkled over the top too.

these are always a hit at cookie walks, work, everywhere. I double the batch and make it in a 9x13 pan. after lifting the foil out of the pan (while they are still hot) quickly trim the edges off of the cookies so nobody gets stuck with the dreaded edge or corner piece (does not waste much and they look much better).

Next time I make these cookies I would use a sandwichcorner cut off or pastry bag to drizzle the chocolate and caramel. Using a spoon made some "blobs". I received a lot of compliments on these cookies. My Daughter thought they were bakery bought because of the drizzling.
