I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my candy turned out like a big blob. It was not edible.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my candy didn't turn out right. The caramel was too runny and the nuts were too hard.

This candy was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but this candy was surprisingly good! The nuts add a nice crunch and the caramel is not too sweet.

This is the best caramel nut candy I've ever had! The caramel is so smooth and creamy, and the nuts are roasted to perfection.

This caramel nut candy is the perfect combination of sweet and salty! The nuts add a nice crunch and the caramel is rich and creamy. I will definitely be making this again!
