If
you are anything like me you have already scarfed a couple bags of Halloween
candy. I really wish they wouldn’t put that stuff out so early, I can’t help myself.
My
in house taste tester really loves the little caramels. He bought a huge bag of
them the other day so I stole a couple handfuls to make these insanely tasty
bars!
These
Salted Peanut Bars are amazing! They are the perfect mix of salty and sweet.
What
you need,
2¼
cups roasted salted peanuts
50
caramel squares, unwrapped (14oz.)
1
cup mini marshmallows
1
tbsp. water
Non-stick
cooking spray
Lightly
coat and 8x8 inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Line the pan
with parchment paper and spray it again lightly with the non-stick spray.
Cover
the bottom of the pan with 1¼ cups of the peanuts.
In
a medium sized sauce pan combine 1 tablespoon of water the marshmallows and
caramels. Over medium heat cook until the caramels are melted and the mixture
is smooth. Stir often, it should take about 8 minutes.
Pour
the mixture over the layer of peanuts; spread the caramel mixture all the way
to the edge.
Sprinkle
the remaining cup of peanuts over the top.
Cool
until set, about 4 hours. Cut into 16
small bars.
Store
between parchment in an airtight container for up to a week.
These
bars are ridiculous. Go buy a bag of caramels and whip up a batch, you won’t
regret it.
I
hope all my Canadian readers have a fabulous Thanksgiving! My Dad is here so we
are making a Turkey tomorrow with all the trimmings‼ I can’t wait!
