Ingredients
- 7 ounces Marshmallow cream
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 14 ounces Caramels
- 3 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 cups Pecans, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine marshmallow cream, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.
Step 2
Mix until a smooth, pliable dough forms. If the mixture is sticky, add a bit more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time.
Step 3
Divide the nougat mixture into 6 equal portions. Form each portion into a log about 4 inches long. Place the logs on wax paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with heavy cream. Stir frequently until smooth and fully combined.
Step 5
Remove the nougat logs from the refrigerator. Using a fork or skewer, dip each log into the melted caramel, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 6
Roll the caramel-coated logs in the finely chopped pecans, pressing gently so the pecans stick well. Ensure the logs are evenly covered.
Step 7
Place the pecan log rolls on a piece of wax paper or a cooling rack to set for at least 15 minutes.
Step 8
Once set, serve immediately, or wrap each log in wax paper or plastic wrap to keep fresh. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
