I made these squares for my kids' birthday party and they loved them! They're so easy to make and they're a lot healthier than store-bought candy.

I'm not a big fan of pecans, so I substituted walnuts instead. They turned out great!

These squares are so sweet, they're almost too much for me. I think I'll cut the sugar in half next time.

I found that the toffee layer was a bit too hard for my taste. I think I'll try using a softer caramel next time.

I love the gooey caramel center and the crunchy pecans. These squares are the perfect combination of sweet and salty.
