Salted Nut Roll Recipe
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Yield: 2 candy rolls
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 2 cups marshmallows
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 48 ounces salted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup caramels
Instructions:
-
Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt half of the butter.
-
Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add in the marshmallows, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
-
Incorporate Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until well combined with the marshmallow mixture.
-
Create Dough: Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until a smooth, workable dough forms.
-
Add Peanuts: Fold in 1/2 cup of the salted peanuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape Rolls: Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a cylindrical roll.
-
Prepare Caramel and Peanuts: On a sheet of plastic wrap slightly longer than the roll, scatter half of the remaining peanuts.
-
Melt Caramels: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt half of the caramels with 1 tablespoon of water and 1 tablespoon of butter, stirring until smooth.
-
Coat Rolls: Pour the melted caramel mixture over the peanuts on the plastic wrap. Place one roll on the caramel, then bring up the sides of the plastic wrap to cover the roll with the caramel and peanuts. Press the nuts firmly into the caramel to ensure they adhere well.
-
Repeat Process: Repeat the process for the second roll, ensuring it is fully coated with caramel and peanuts.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the rolls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up.
