My Grandmother's Southern Caramel Squares

These are my grandmother's famous caramel squares. They could be the best dessert you'll ever eat. I made them for Christmas this year, and they were a huge hit. I managed to procure the recipe the last time I was in Charleston, SC. My grandmother has passed on, but her legacy lives on.

I used light evaporated milk and they tasted exactly as I remembered from many happy Christmas experiences as a little kid. I also make them sans nuts because I'm not a huge fan. My grandmother used to send them up to me in the Bronx in a tin. They were my favorite part of Christmas. Enjoy!
