Yield about 4-1/2 pounds (about 150 pieces).

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon butter
1 jar (16 ounces) dry roasted peanuts
3 jars (7 ounces each) marshmallow creme
2-1/4 cups sugar
2-1/4 cups corn syrup

Sprinkle peanuts evenly into pan. , Place marshmallow creme in a large heatproof bowl. In a large heavy saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup.
