PECAN CARAMELS
I altered the original recipe for these creamy caramels by substituting condensed milk for part of the whipping cream and cutting back on the sugar. Everybody raves about them, and they make a great holiday gift. You can't eat just one! -Patsy Howell, Peru, Indiana

CARAMEL PECAN PIE
This is hands down the best pecan pie-it's so good, it's scary! I'm making it for Thanksgiving because there will be others around to share it with me. Here's the trick: Toss the bag of caramels to your kid or spouse and promise they can eat whatever is left after they unwrap your 36 caramels. -Larry Crowder, Grand Blanc, Michigan

CHEWY PECAN DIAMONDS
This is a wonderful combination of cookie and candy, with the crumbly crust serving as counterpoint to the chewy caramel topping. For a nice presentation, place the cookies in paper candy cups, and set the cups in a basket; wrap clear cellophane around the basket, tie it up with raffia and decorate it with pine cones. Save the irregularly shaped leftover cookies to enjoy as a snack. From Bon Appetit
