I'm not a huge fan of caramel, but I really liked these candy bars. The caramel is not too sweet and the nuts add a nice crunch.

These candy bars were a huge hit! They're so easy to make and taste delicious. I used a variety of nuts, including peanuts, almonds, and walnuts. The caramel is rich and creamy, and the chocolate coating is the perfect finishing touch.
