Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla or maple flavoring
- 1/2 pound (about 28) Kraft caramels
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
Directions
In large mixer bowl, combine milk, powdered sugar and vanilla or maple flavoring. Beat until smooth, then turn out onto a surface sprinkled with additional powdered sugar. Knead mixture until very smooth. Divide into 4 parts; shape each part into a 5-inch long roll. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate while preparing caramel.
Combine caramels, butter and water in top of a double boiler over hot, not boiling water. Stir until melted and smooth. Spread chopped nuts on a piece of wax paper. Working with one roll at a time, coat one side of roll with caramel, drop onto chopped nuts. Coat remainder of roll by spooning caramel over, then roll over onto nuts to completely coat. Wrap each log securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm. Slice into 1/2-inch thick slices to serve.
