Recipe: Salted Peanut Rolls (using marshmallow cream, Pillsbury recipe)

SALTED PEANUT ROLLS

2 cups powdered sugar, divided use
1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow creme
21 ounces caramels, unwrapped (1 1/2 packages)
3 tablespoons water
3 cups salted peanuts, chopped

Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.

In medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar with marshmallow creme; blend thoroughly. Knead in remaining powdered sugar. Divide mixture into 4 parts. Form each part into rope 1/2-inch in diameter. Cut into pieces 1-1/2" long. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze about 20 minutes or until firm.

Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over low heat, heat caramels and water until caramels are melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Dip frozen marshmallow pieces into caramel mixture; roll in peanuts. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze until set. Store in covered container in refrigerator.
