These were so delicious! I followed the recipe pretty closely, but I subbed minced, fresh garlic for garlic powder. I also added a few dashes of cayenne. Other than that, I followed exactly. I love that it calls for ham, as I had some leftover Christmas ham that needed to be used. I soaked the peas for 6 hours in cold water before cooking, and they only took about 45 minutes to cook. Happy New Year!

This recipes requires zero tweaking. Period. I did halve the recipe for my family of 3, and we didn't quite finish them. I used a 1/3 cup to measure out each pancake and got about 9 pancakes out of half a batch. They are hands down the best I've ever made, and my husband says the best he's ever had.

These are great and exactly what I was looking for! It really is surprisingly easy, and they're so deliciously flaky.

These are great, but a bit too sweet with just milk chocolate. I like to mix milk and semi-sweet to cut some of the sweetness from the caramel.

Very yummy. I take the pretzels, dip them in the caramel, roll them in nuts after it's set up a bit, and then generously drizzle white and semi-sweet chocolate over the top. perfect for gifts.

To test this recipe in preparation for Christmas candy making, I divided the original recipe by 4. I used butter instead of margarine, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly - including cooking time. The result was perfectly crunchy, salty-sweet, light caramel corn. It tastes very much like crunch and munch actually - which is what I was going for. Well, this actually tasted better. It's really good.
