This cool and creamy pie has a lot going for it. It's easy to make, it can be assembled well in advance to save time, and it's impressive enough to serve guests. To make this dessert even more decadent and delicious, you can chop extra peanuts and candy bars and crumble a few more cookies to sprinkle over the top. -Andrea Bolden, Unionville, Tennessee

  • I think the reason some of these recipes call for melting in a roasting pan is to keep the dishes down.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the caramel from scorching.
  • Be patient: Making caramel takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a burnt mess.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the caramel reaches the right temperature.
  • Work quickly: Once the caramel is ready, you need to work quickly to add the nuts and mix them in. If you wait too long, the caramel will start to set and become difficult to work with.
  • Let the caramel cool completely: Before you break it into pieces, let it cool completely. This will help to prevent the caramel from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Caramel nut crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy snack that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give this recipe a try!
