I was disappointed with these Cherry Pecan Chews. They were too sweet and the texture was a bit off. I won't be making them again.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I might have used a little too much sugar. Other than that, they were pretty good.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I'm so glad I did! The cherries add a lovely tartness that balances out the sweetness of the caramel and pecans. These are definitely going into my regular baking rot

Not bad, but I think I would have preferred them with a bit more caramel. Overall, a solid recipe.
