Caramel Nougat Candy
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. + chilling
YIELD: 4 dozen.
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
