I'm allergic to nuts, so I can't eat these snappers. But they look delicious!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my snappers didn't turn out crispy at all. They were more like chewy cookies.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I omitted them from the recipe. The snappers still turned out great!

These snappers are a bit too time-consuming to make for a weeknight snack, but they're definitely worth the effort for a special occasion.

I accidentally burned the caramel, so my snappers turned out a little too hard. But they still tasted good!

I had a hard time finding pecan pieces, so I used chopped walnuts instead. They turned out great!

These snappers are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.
