Maybe I did something wrong but these things were a mess. DO NOT USE GREASED WAXED PAPER. They'll stick horribly no matter how well you grease the waxed paper. Parchment paper seems to work much better.

They taste absolutely wonderful though, I've got no complaints about the ingredients, but the method needs a "trial and error" approach. Be prepared for some work... but I'm sure they're well worth it.

Other than my beef about the hassle and the mess, I'd be willing to bet that the base of melted caramel would hold together many wonderful things, like broken pretzel pieces, any nut of your choice, etc.
