Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 ounces Marshmallow creme
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 12 ounces Soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 3 cups Salted peanuts
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix together until a soft dough forms.
Divide the nougat mixture into 12 even portions. Roll each portion into a log shape about 3-4 inches long, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
While the nougat chills, unwrap the caramels and melt them in a microwave-safe bowl with heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Spread the salted peanuts on a separate baking sheet or large plate.
Remove the nougat logs from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each nougat log into the melted caramel, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess caramel to drip off before rolling the coated nougat in the salted peanuts, pressing gently to ensure the peanuts stick.
Place the completed nut rolls back onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining logs.
Let the finished nut rolls sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to set, or refrigerate briefly if needed for a firmer texture.
Once set, store the salted nut rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
