That sounds awesome I will have to try that on my next batch! I made them according to recipe and they are just as good as they look. These take a little bit longer to make because of cooling time but they are well worth it. These also went over very well on the cookie platter.. Let just face it all the cookies were good and there were none left of any kind I made. Thanks Betty!

The cookies were delicious and easy to make. I substituted hazelnuts for the pecans and used Riesen caramels (1 6 oz bag). I made a batch for food day at the office and these cookies disappeared.
