My son and I love, love, love Sees Caramel Squares. But they are so expensive. So I invented this recipe in order to mimic as closely as I could to that delicious candy. Now it is one of the gifts of boxes of homemade chocolates and candies I make to give away for Christmas. But hey, you can make them any time, not just at Christmas. Beware! They are addicting.
