I made this for my family for Thanksgiving and we all loved it. My only problem was that the cookie crust rose too high which killed the crust to filling and topping ratio. Next time I'll be sure to flatten it out a bit while its still hot. I might also either use more caramel or less chocolate on top. It is truly tasty and can feed more than you'd think because you can cut small pieces since it is so rich.
