Personal
Notes: Mimi put in her recipe notes that these were very time consuming but well worth it and everyone loved them. She would sometimes put the caramel/pecan mixture in her hand and make small balls before placing on waxed paper to keep them from spreading out too thinly. (This may have been how they had a distinctive “smokey” flavor! :-)
