  1. At first I thought that these were rather too sweet, and that the sugar was overpowering but then next day I had a sweet craving and so went back to these and they were just right. Ok, not a snack for everyday as the sugar is a LOT but as a special treat once in a while this hits the spot. I didn't get mine mixed quite as well as I hoped at first becuase visitors arrived 40 minutes early and I was still stirring at the stove when they arrived. The best bits are the bits where the caramel coats well. I would add more nuts too. Please see my Rating System: 3 stars for a great recipe if you need a very sweet "fix" ...if like us you are generally used to less sweet goodies then you might well find this too sweet ( DH didn't like it). Easy to make and just remember to mix quicker than I managed. Thanks!
