I'm not sure what went wrong, but my candy turned out really hard. I think I overcooked it.

I didn't have any parchment paper, so I used wax paper instead. It worked just fine.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped dried fruit for the peanuts. It turned out great!

I had some trouble getting the caramel to the right consistency. I think I cooked it for too long.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
