PECAN NUT CARAMELS
My grandma made these every year for Christmas. Now every time I make them, I think of her and her kind, patient soul. It brings back such fond memories. These make such a great gift for busy friends and family, they really appreciate the time and care that goes into making them and of course the Yumminess!
