Heavenly Caramel Bites
"Got this recipe from a girl at work. I have no idea where she got it. These are simple and yummy treats. Would make great Christmas treats. Feel free to play with this recipe. The original recipe didn't have nuts, but I added them. These would be good dipped in chocolate as well."

These were wonderful. It took a lot longer than 30 minutes (closer to 60 minutes) for these to get to the soft-ball stage on my stove but they were lovely.

I'm 41y/o wife and mother of 2. I've been a nurse for 20 years. We live in a small town in Arkansas. My passion is cooking. I love to cook anything and everything. Luckily my family is adventerous in their eating habits, so I have lots of fun trying new things out on them. I also like camping, traveling, gardening,water sports and collecting recipes. I like getting to know other people from other parts of the world. We have 5 pets, 2 dogs and 3 ferrets. My worst pet peeve is when people stick their nose up at a dish before trying it, because they know a certain ingredient is in it. I know everyone has different tastes, but picky eaters just don't know what they are missing when they turn down a dish they havent even tried.
