Center Ingredients:

• 1lb box powdered sugar
• 1 8oz jar marshmallow cream
• ¼ tsp pure almond extract
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• Waxed paper sheet for freezing

Center Directions:

• Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper and set aside for later.
• In large bowl, pour in powdered sugar, marshmallow cream and extracts.
• Fold all ingredients together until all of the sugar is worked in.

• Form contents into a large ball.
• Cut the large ball into fourths
• Then cut each fourth again into fourths.
• You should have 16 pieces.

• Roll each ball between the palms of your
  hands to form a log (center).
• Lie centers on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper (be sure they are not touching each other)
• Place in the freezer until frozen.
  
• Remove frozen centers from cookie sheet
• Store centers in groups of eight in waxed paper or baggies
• Re-place in freezer until ready to dip in caramel coating.

Caramel Dip Ingredients:

• 2-3 bags of Kraft Caramels candy
• 2 tablespoons water
• 6-8 lbs. of pecan halves
• 16 waxed paper squares for wrapping and storing.
• Double Boiler Pan

Prep for Dipping:

• Melt Kraft caramels in double boiler.
• Add water to caramels and stir.
• (Keep caramels hot until the last center is rolled)

• Place halved pecans in a large pie tin for rolling (or on counter with a large sheet of waxed paper)
• 16 waxed paper squares for storing rolls

Assembling the Pecan Roll:

• Remove a few of the centers from the freezer.
  Note: Do not let them thaw - they need to be solid
• Using tongs, dip a frozen center into the hot melted
  caramel. Once covered in caramel, remove for rolling

Helpful hint: Keep faucet water to a steady drip so you can dampen your hands before rolling in pecans to prevent the dipped candy from sticking to your hands during the rolling process.

• Roll the dipped center in the bed of pecans (with your hands), completely covering the dipped center.
• Gently pack the pecans around the center to ensure its completely covered

• Place the pecan candy log in the center of a waxed paper square, fold and roll to seal.

And now you should have 16 delicious Pecan Rolls to share with family and friends!
