Recipe: Pecan Logs (using caramels and marshmallow creme)

PECAN LOGS

1 (14 oz) bag caramels
2 tbsp margarine
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 (16 oz) box powdered sugar
1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp vanilla
1 to 2 cups finely chopped pecans

Combine caramels, margarine, and evaporated milk in top of a double boiler over hot water: heat, stirring, until caramels are melted.

Sift powdered sugar into a large bowl. Add marshmallow creme and vanilla, working until well-mixed (use your hands). Roll sugar mixture into 10- or 11-inch "logs", about 6-inches long and 1-inch in diameter. Place logs on waxed paper.

Dip logs, one at a time, into melted caramels, covering well. Roll each log in pecans, pressing the pecans into the logs. Wrap in plastic wrap. Slice to serve.
