These caramel squares are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts. Can I substitute something else in this recipe?

These caramel squares are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're sweet, salty, and crunchy all at the same time.

I'm not a huge fan of caramel, but these squares were surprisingly delicious. The crust is perfectly flaky and the caramel is rich and creamy.

Oh my goodness! These caramel squares are heavenly! The combination of the gooey caramel, the crunchy nuts, and the buttery crust is simply irresistible.
