These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise they were very good.

Absolutely delicious! The only thing I would change is to use a bit less sugar in the caramel layer.

I've made these caramelitas several times now and they are always a hit. The gooey caramel and the crunchy coconut pecan topping are the perfect combination. I highly recommend this recipe!

These were so easy to make and turned out great! I also added some chopped walnuts for an extra crunch.
