For a richer flavor, use salted butter instead of margarine. Reduce the amount of salt in the recipe slightly if using salted butter. Feel free to experiment with different nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, instead of pecans. For a chocolatey twist, sprinkle chocolate chips over the hot caramel after baking.

Nov 5, 2024The caramel was a little too sweet for me, so next time I might try using a little less brown sugar.
