Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces medium carrots
- 30 pieces soft caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup crushed peanuts
- 6 pieces wooden skewers or lollipop sticks
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Peel the carrots and trim the tops and bottoms to create even edges.
Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into the thick end of each carrot, ensuring it is securely in place.
Set up a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop or a baking tray.
In a small saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the caramel cool slightly for 1-2 minutes so it thickens slightly and sticks better to the carrots.
Hold a carrot by the skewer and dip it into the caramel, turning it to coat evenly. Use a spoon to help cover the entire surface if needed.
Allow any excess caramel to drip off, and then immediately roll the caramel-coated carrot in crushed peanuts to coat it completely.
Place the finished carrot on the prepared parchment paper to cool and set. Repeat with the remaining carrots.
Let the caramel-coated carrots sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the caramel fully sets.
Serve and enjoy this fun and unique treat!
