This great recipe has been brought to you by Tammy from yoyomax12 – the diet free zone , thanks for sharing it with us

Here below is a list of the ingredients you will need plus how to make these candy treats from the YouTube channel

Jar of marshmallow creme (7oz)
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups icing sugar
40 caramels
2 tbsp water
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans

Mix the vanilla with the marshmallow creme in a large bowl.
Add in the icing sugar, one cup at a time, until combined.
You may have to knead the mixture with your hands to get all the sugar incorporated. The dough will be stiff and feel dry.
Divide the dough into six portions and form them into logs with a diameter of 1 inch.
Place them on a cookie sheet and place in the freezer until firm.

Place caramels and water in a bowl and microwave until caramels are melted. You can also melt the caramels in a double boiler on the stove on medium low.
Stir the caramels until smooth.
Dip the chilled logs into the caramel until coated and then roll in the chopped pecans.
Place on cookie sheet and chill until firm.
Slice each log into about 10 slices.
Store at room temperature covered for up to 4 weeks.

 

**NOTE From Tammy … I ended up using almost double the caramels for my recipe and about another 1/2 cup of pecans.
This will depend on the caramels you are using I
