This is a recipe from PAM! heh. The paper is neon green note paper and it’s a bit large, so please click to enlarge the image to a more readable size. I just didn’t want to offend any eyeballs early in the morning. These taffy treats are a cookie dipped in caramel, similar to the buckeye balls we looked at a couple months ago, but then dipped into chopped nuts. Yummmmmmy. I think you could come up with variations too, like coconut or grated chocolate.

Taffy Treats (Pam)

Cream:

1/2 c shortening

with 1/4 c brown sugar

1/4 c confectioners sugar

1/4 tsp salt

Add:

1 lg egg

1 tsp vanilla

2 c flour

Shape dough into 1″ balls, place on greased cookie sheet. Bake 15-18 mins at 350. Cool, put toothpicks into each ball. In double boiler, put 25 Kraft caramels with 1/4 c canned milk or reg milk or Carnation. Melt the caramels, dip each cookie in caramel. Then dip bottom of cookie in grated nuts & sprinkle rest of cookie with nuts.

*Kraft caramels can be tinted red to look like candy apples.
