I received this recipe from a friend while living in Texas. When we moved, I was sure to take the recipe with me. Everyone raves about these chocolate and caramel candies. —June Humphrey, Strongsville, Ohio

So easy, so delicious! These were a huge hit! I sprinkled shredded sweetened coconut on half of them right after they were dipped in the chocolate. Nice add on but maybe a bit much as they were fairly sweet as prepared. Next time I'm going to try subbing out the pecans for Spanish peanuts (more sweet and salty as I'm a sucker for that flavor combination!). Will definitely make these again!

I did not have enough pecans, so I used 2 1/2 cups cereal. To make these less 'messy' I used a small scoop. I did not use waxed paper, but instead parchment paper. I was wondering if a silpat would work well. For dipping I used a small fork which worked well. Nice candy recipe!

These are time consuming to make, but well worth the effort. They taste similar to 100 grand bars.

This has become one of my annual Christmas candies. It is easy to make and tastes wonderful. I use milk chocolate candy discs instead of the chips and shortening, and if I can find them, use the caramel bits - you don't have to unwrap the caramels that way!

Easy and delicious! We used semi-sweet morsels and they came out great.

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.
