These are a wonderful recipe for caramels. I loved the idea of the chocolate in them, and decided to make them for my mom for her birthday. She loves both chocolate and nuts, so I knew she would love these as caramels are her favorite. She raved and raved about them with each bite and was stingy about passing them out :) That says it in a nutshell! Mike
