<p>Made this twice and both times they came out good. First time I had trouble with the caramels, I had a hard time getting them to melt , it was clumpy. The second time I microwaved them longer and turned out great. I also greased and lined the pan with wax-paper and greased that because the first time they stuck to the pan and was hard to cut at the edges.</p>

Love this recipe but I substitute salter peanuts for the pecans. It always goes fast.. Reminds many of snickers

Wonderful! The most difficult part is unwrapping the caramels. I took some to work and everyone wanted the recipe.

I make this often and is a big favorite. I line the pan with foil before greasing and dusting with cocoa powder. Then refridgerate to chill it, so I can just lift it from the pan and peel away the foil to cut more easily. Otherwise, they are very gooey and restick back together.

Also a dark chocolate type cake mix tastes great too!
