A Christmas gift of homemade candy is always a hit with sweet tooths. I dip these peanut rolls in chocolate, but they're yummy plain, too. -Elizabeth Hokanson, Arborg, Manitoba

Time 1h

Yield about 5 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
2 to 2-1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
1 package (14 ounces) caramels
2 tablespoons water
4 cups salted peanuts, chopped
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shortening

Steps:

  • Line two 15x10x1-in. pans with waxed paper. In a large bowl, beat marshmallow creme and 1 cup confectioners' sugar until blended. Knead in enough remaining confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth and easy to handle., Divide mixture into 4 portions. Roll each portion into 1/2-in.-thick logs. Cut crosswise into 1-1/2-in. pieces; place on 1 prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat caramels and water over low heat until melted, stirring occasionally. Working with one-fourth of the logs at a time, dip in melted caramel; roll in peanuts. Place on remaining prepared pan. Repeat with remaining logs; freeze coated logs until set., In top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over barely simmering water, melt chocolate chips and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip bottom of rolls into melted chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Return to prepared pans. Refrigerate until set. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature.

These rolls are delicious! The peanut flavor is subtle but it really comes through. They're also really easy to make. I'll definitely be making them again.

Meh. The rolls were dry and the peanut flavor was underwhelming. I won't be making these again.

Not bad! The rolls were a bit dense for my taste, but the peanut flavor was nice. I might try again with a different recipe.
