like bumpkin i saw this recipe on pinterest and it was right up our alley! chocolate and caramel YUM!
i doubled the original recipe and used tj’s fleur de sel caramel – i don’t think i used enough caramel though.. they turned out a bit dry and the crumb topping was really crumby and dry. might try these again — might not — looks like bumpkin had better luck with these!
