I was disappointed with these caramel squares. The caramel was too sweet and the shortbread crust was too dry.

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, but I really enjoyed these squares. The caramel is not too sweet and the shortbread crust is perfect.

Absolutely divine! The caramel layer is rich and buttery, while the shortbread crust is perfectly flaky. I'm definitely keeping this recipe in my baking rotation.

These caramel squares were a delight! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly gooey and delicious. I added a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking, which gave them a nice salty-sweet flavor.
