Ingredients

• 6 pieces medium carrots
• 30 pieces soft caramel candies
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 1 cup crushed peanuts
• 6 pieces wooden skewers or lollipop sticks
• 1 sheet parchment paper

Directions

Step 1

Peel the carrots and trim the tops and bottoms to create even edges.

Step 2

Insert a wooden skewer or lollipop stick into the thick end of each carrot, ensuring it is securely in place.

Step 3

Set up a sheet of parchment paper on your countertop or a baking tray.

Step 4

In a small saucepan, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is melted and smooth.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the caramel cool slightly for 1-2 minutes so it thickens slightly and sticks better to the carrots.

Step 6

Hold a carrot by the skewer and dip it into the caramel, turning it to coat evenly. Use a spoon to help cover the entire surface if needed.

Step 7

Allow any excess caramel to drip off, and then immediately roll the caramel-coated carrot in crushed peanuts to coat it completely.

Step 8

Place the finished carrot on the prepared parchment paper to cool and set. Repeat with the remaining carrots.

Step 9

Let the caramel-coated carrots sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the caramel fully sets.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy this fun and unique treat!
