Knowing my co-workers are willing guinea pigs, I tried this recipe for an office potluck. When I returned from a break, I found a big frilly blue ribbon on my desk with a note from the boss, saying, "You get a blue ribbon for bringing us a 'slice of heaven'!" -Debbie Emerick, Castle Rock, Colorado

I made this over the weekend and brought it to work. I had never made caramel before, but everything worked out well. It was an impressive tart. I wouldn't call it easy to make, but I would call it excellent. I think I made the crust a little too thick, but that's user error.
