With crunchy peanuts, gooey caramel and fluffy marshmallow creme, these sweet sensations taste just like one of my favorite candy bars. I usually make several batches of candy at a time to include on my Christmas dessert tray or to give as gifts.—Maddymoo, Taste of Home Online Community

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 package (14 ounces) caramels
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped salted peanuts

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in marshmallow creme and peanut butter. Let stand 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Roll into 3/4-in. balls.
  2. In another microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with water; stir until smooth. Dip balls in caramel; allow excess to drip off. Roll in peanuts and place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Chill until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
