These look absolutely delicious but I’m afraid that I don’t like peanut butter, I know I’m in the minority. Now caramel and we’re talking 🙂

Hi, It looks divine. I just printed the recipe and I was wondering what is the storage life? Can I make on Monday for Saturday party?
Stacie says
We’ve always eaten them within three days. I think if you kept them in the fridge you should be ok.
Tami says
