these sounded weird but good and they were both weird and good. i used the pecan/butterscotch combo and there were delicious. easy to make, too! -
I'm definitely going to make these often. Chewy, sweet and very pretty. I can't wait to try the pecans and butterscotch! I'm so pleased I found your recipe collection Grandma!
