"These cookies are AMAZING! I tried a couple of other recipes prior to this one (I know, what was I thinking not starting with the Food Network recipe? and this one blew them out of the water. I followed the recipe exactly, baked for about 11 minutes and they were perfect! They're soft, chewy and cake-like with exceptional flavor- not the recipe"

"Delicious recipe! The bittersweet chocolate provides just the right contrast for the sweet caramel sauce and sugar in the recipe. I didn't have ramekins or a flan mold, so used an 8x8 pyrex for the flan, and a 9x13 pyrex for the water bath. I made the filling recipe as directed, but made a little less caramel since I only needed to coat the one dish - I used less sugar than the recipe called for, and used just enough water to cover the sugar. I heated it on medium until boiling, stirring occasionally until it boiled. Once boiling, I swirled the pot a few times to make sure it wasn't sticking, and then just waited until it started to caramelize (I think just being patient and not over-stirring is the key to getting a good caramel. I also used a teaspoon of vanilla extract instead of a vanilla bean. It turned out beautifully, and I got lots of compliments!! "
