I got this recipe from a cooking show on TV, but made some adjustments to suit our tastes. We make this candy every Easter, and many more times per year. - Deanna Polito-Laughinghouse, Raleigh, North Carolina Ingredients:
1 teaspoon butter |
24 caramels |
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flaked coconut, divided |
1/2 cup white baking chips |
1/2 cup salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. Line an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan with foil and grease the foil with butter; set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels, 3/4 cup coconut, baking chips and peanuts. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 1 minute; stir. Cook, uncovered, 30-60 seconds longer or until caramels are melted; stir to combine. Press into prepared pan. Sprinkle with remaining coconut. Cool.
3. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Discard foil; cut candy into 1-in. squares. Yield: about 3/4 pound.
