Happy Holidays, and thank you for the fruitcake cookie recipes....
I now find myself with a large bag of pecans and a jar of maraschino
cherries.. My Mom used to make a cookie using the cherries, but it

my dad was telling me that his mother used to bake his birthday
cake chocolate with a caramel frosting that hardened onto the cake,
it was not sticky, and she used kraft caramels. I am seeking to
make my dad's birthday a memorable one. Can you help?

The only recipe that I can find that seems close to what you describe is the one below.
