These chews are so easy to make, but they look like they came from a bakery. I'm definitely going to make them again.

I'm allergic to pecans, so I used walnuts instead. The chews were still delicious!

I accidentally overcooked the caramel. The chews were still edible, but they were a bit hard.

I had a hard time finding pecan halves, so I used chopped pecans instead. The chews still turned out great.

These chews are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I've tried many pecan caramel chew recipes, but this one is by far the best. The caramel is perfectly smooth and creamy, and the pecans add just the right amount of crunch.
