Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
• 7 ounces Marshmallow Cream
• 5 cups Powdered Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

For the Coating:

• 2 11 oz bags Caramel Bits
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 2 cups Chopped Peanuts

Directions

For the Filling:

1. Melt the Butter and Marshmallow Cream: Combine the butter and marshmallow cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-60 seconds until the butter is fully melted.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and marshmallow with the powdered sugar and vanilla. Blend until just combined.
3. Form the Dough: Drop the mixture onto a silpat or large piece of parchment paper. Use your hands to knead the dough into a large ball.
4. Shape the Logs: Divide the ball into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 7-8 inch log, maintaining about 1 inch in thickness.
5. Freeze: Wrap each log in parchment paper and freeze for two hours until firm.

For the Coating:

1. Melt Caramel: In an 11×7-inch baking dish, melt the caramel bits and butter in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes until smooth. The mixture will be thick, and the butter may separate; this is normal.
2. Cool and Mix: Allow the caramel to cool slightly. Using your hands, mix the butter back into the caramel and press the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish. Score into 6 equal portions.
3. Coat the Logs: Unwrap a frozen log and spread one section of caramel over the center using your hands. Once fully covered, press chopped peanuts into the caramel. Re-wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate. Repeat for each log.

Serving:

• When ready to enjoy, slice each log into 1-inch pieces.
