Amazing! I tried these for a family get together. Instant hit & I had to make them for Christmas that year. I also used a salted Carmel ice cream topping rather than make the sauce, it was a first since I usually do, but it still tasted great so when in a pinch I've been ok using a cheat. But there's no losing with these treats. I'm making them again tonight for a bbq. No worries no how they'll be received<\/p>","CommentId":5,"DateRated":"05\/24\/2015 13:27","GUID":"032402d6ff50458aac39400e2c82f429","MemberId":7092859,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"belle98","SubmittedDate":"05\/24\/2015 13:27"},{"Comment":"

The grand kids gobbled these up. I used dark brown sugar. Next time I will use light brown sugar instead. The dark brown sugar made the cookie cups a bit to dark colored.<\/p>","CommentId":7,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2015 13:41","GUID":"ad574250001945c4947d7fff99f55127","MemberId":5824534,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"scwc","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2015 13:41"},{"Comment":"
These are really tasty. I didn't top with a pecan half, but just put a little more chopped pecans in the cup. I also used coconut sugar instead of brown sugar, which was really good. Time consuming, but well worth it. Would definitely make these again. Also I used a cup of regular size caramels instead of the bits, and it worked just fine.<\/p>","CommentId":8,"DateRated":"12\/10\/2014 17:15","GUID":"b4a45472c9a94c22bd0cc27f3e0c4ca7","MemberId":6835688,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Hot Dodge","SubmittedDate":"12\/10\/2014 17:12"},{"Comment":"

Amazing! I ended up not putting the chocolate drizzle on top. On half I drizzled some sea salt and the others I left with just caramel. Yum!

Made these this weekend. They are delicious ! Easy recipe to follow. The only change I will make is to change from semi-sweet chocolate chips to milk chocolate chips. I will be using this recipe for our Christmas Cookie Exchange.

Very easy to make. Instead of the caramel bits and heavy whipping cream I used a caramel flavored ice cream topping. My chocolate chips did not melt initially in the cups so I placed them back in the oven for 2 minutes. My college kids loved them!<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"","GUID":"c7615a3db63a4fd5afec20186f57e426","MemberId":1605921,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"truffles6","SubmittedDate":"10\/31\/2013 11:50"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":310796,"name":"Dishes & Beverages","slug":"dishes-beverages","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":310731,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Wondering what to make?
