Very easy to make, no-cook recipe. Butterscotch, caramel and peanuts make a delicious candy/dessert. Ingredients:
1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips |
1 cup marshmallow cream |
1/2 cup instant nonfat dry milk powder |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
22 -25 individual chewy caramel candies, such as brach's |
2 tablespoons milk |
2 cups salted peanuts, coarsely chopped |
Directions:
1. In a medium-sized glass bowl, melt the butterscotch chips in the microwave on high for about 2 minutes.
2. Remove bowl and stir in the marshmallow cream and powdered milk.
3. Add the vanilla and mix well. The mixture will be very thick.
4. At this point, use your hands and knead the mixture almost like bread dough.
5. Roll the mixture into walnut sized pieces and shape like your little finger.
6. Place finger shapes on wax paper to set.
7. In a separate bowl, melt the caramels and milk together in the microwave on high for 1.5 to 2 minutes. Remove from microwave and stir well.
8. Roll set fingers into the caramel mixture, making sure the caramel is not too hot and won't burn your fingers.
9. Once rolled in caramel, immediately roll in chopped nuts and place back on the wax paper to harden.
10. You can vary the yield by how large or small you make the fingers .
