This dazzling treat tastes like a Snickers bar but has homemade flavor beyond compare. When I entered it in a recipe contest at our harvest festival, it won five ribbons, including grand prize and the judges' special award. -Jane Meek, Pahrump, Nevada

I have made these Caramel Candies two years in a row, they have been a big hit. I wrap them individually and use for gift giving.

This candy received such great reviews that I tried it. I froze the layers and gave them time to set then refrigerated the whole thing. It seemed to turn out great so I put them in treat boxes for the holidays. After a little while I started noticing the melting that someone else mentioned. The candy started to slide as the caramel softened. I think these either need to be served chilled or need to be dipped in a chocolate paraffin to keep them together.

I made this recipe when it first came out in the Taste of Home magazine in about 1998, I think. I may as well not show up for Christmas Day gathering if I don't have them. ;-) I share this recipe with everyone. The only change, which puts it over the top for flavor is that I make home made microwave caramel instead of buying it. It makes it irresistable!

This candy is outstanding! A little putzy because of the layers, but worth the effort.

Made this for my cookie trays this year. After sitting out a while the caramel "melts" so to fix this I just coated the pieces with chocolate and they looked like a mini candy bar. Tastes just like the real thing.

Hi, Can someone help me, these are really good, but they fall apart even after I let them set and freeze them. What am I doing wrong? As messy as they are, they are still GOOD!

This candy got rave reviews everywhere I shared it. I wound up having to make two batches to last throughout the holidays.

My layers are seperating when I try to cut into square. I let it sit for 20 min. before cutting. Then let it sit a little longer but then the marshmallow layer starts to squash out. Any suggestions????

This recipe was ok but I had a problem keeping the caramel firm. The warmer if got, the more it melted. I think next time I would use a more firmer caramel recipe (ie sweetened condensed milk)

These are very good! I was concerned about how long it would take them to get firm in the refrigerator, but it was ready by the time I prepared the next layer.

This recipe is excellent! I've been making this each year ever since I found the recipe in Taste of Home! It is a family favorite during Christmas and into New Year's. It is well worth the time, effort and money spent to make it!!

I made the candy today. I had one problem with the filling. I couldn't cook it for 5 minutes. After 4 minutes it became very gritty and I couldn't use. I threw the filling out and started over and cooked for less time. I did add 2 tablespoons of honey for all layers that called for peanut butter. I always use honey in all peanut butter recipes. I also use a square cake pan 8 x 8 for the candy. I like my candy thicker with smaller squares when served.

These are to die for. When I make them I have to freeze half the recipe if not they are all gone in 2 days.
