I honestly think it looks like a waste of money. You still need to do all the hard work ie. Smoothing the fondant down, and trimming etc. You may as well roll it out between 2 sheets of cling film for the same effect. But that's just my opinion

Belated thanks! It was actually a fun one to work on as there was so much scope with the design.

no i havent - i just googled for a caramel receipe and found the hummingbird one which is the one i did. The girls at work want me to have a go at a dime bar one - any ideas or tips will be greatly apprecaited

I've not done a Dime one myself but was trying to think of ways to incorporate it and the best I can come up with is crushing the Dime bars to blend into the buttercream? I didn't think they'd melt too well but crushing might work so you get a bit of crunch and toffee flavour without the chewiness that makes your teeth stick together.
