- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups chopped peanuts
Instructions
Prepare the Nougat Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup unsalted butter, marshmallow cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Shape the Nougat:
- Divide the nougat mixture into small portions and roll each portion into a log shape, about 3-4 inches long.
- Place the logs on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Melt the Caramel:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter.
- Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the caramel is completely melted and has a smooth consistency.
Coat the Nougat in Caramel:
- Remove the nougat logs from the refrigerator.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip each nougat log into the melted caramel, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Let any excess caramel drip off.
Roll in Peanuts:
- While the caramel is still sticky, immediately roll the caramel-coated nougat logs in the chopped peanuts, pressing the peanuts gently into the caramel to adhere.
Set the Salted Nut Rolls:
- Place the finished salted nut rolls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the nut rolls have fully set, they are ready to be enjoyed!
- Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
