on 1/15/2009 I just have one problem with this recipe...it's incomplete. I'm just guessing, but you put half of the batter in the oven for 6 minutes, then put on the choc chips and the caramel, then layer on the other half of the batter. This sounds really messy. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hoping for the best. At least it will taste good. Uh, also, just guessing again, but I'm going to use a 13x9 pan. Wish me luck!
