"I make this candy for Christmas and Easter."
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 30 caramels
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 1 (16-ounce) jar salted peanuts
- 1 (16-ounce) jar unsalted peanuts
Instructions
- Â Combine the milk, caramels, and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until the caramels and butter are melted, stirring frequently. Blend in the confectioners’ sugar. Remove from the heat.
- Spread the salted and unsalted peanuts on a large sheet of wax paper. Using a tablespoon and working quickly, drop caramel mixture over the peanuts. Cover the mixture with the peanuts and shape into rolls, about 3 inches by 1 inch. The rolls will be sticky.
