Sweet and chewy, these yummy layered squares come from Dick Deacon of Lawrenceville, Georgia. "I have also made this recipe in a 9-inch pie pan and cut it very small pieces," says Dick. "You can't eat very much at one time."

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, but these candies were surprisingly good. The pecans add a nice crunch and the caramel is not too sweet.
