A Christmas gift of homemade candy is always a hit with sweet tooths.

I made these and everyone loved them! I mixed the ingredients in my stand mixer w\/the paddle attachment which made it pretty easy. I rolled them into balls coating my fingers with powdered sugar as I went. Then I dipped them in the caramel, sprinkled the chopped nuts over them then dipped them in melted chocolate. Very important to freeze them to set up in between each step and use a parchment lined pan. They came together pretty easily!<\/p>","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-04-02","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"KarenLovesToCook"},"reviewBody":"These are delicious (although very sweet) and remind me of the nut-covered nougat logs I had as a kid.
