How to make it
- Combine the first six ingredients in a sauce pan.

- Turn heat to medium high. Using a candy thermometer, cook caramel mixture until exactly 230F while stirring often.
- Remove from heat, let cool for a few minutes, and add remaining powdered sugar. Use
- a hand mixer to beat in the sugar for a couple minutes. Let candy

- each into 4 inch logs.
- Place on wax paper and let cool for one hour.
- In a double boiler, add remaining caramels and water.
- Melt until smooth. Remove from heat, but keep hot water under the caramel so it doesn't firm up.
- Use a pastry brush to coat one of the logs with hot caramel.
- Roll in peanuts in a shallow dish. If any spots are not completely covered in peanuts, apply more caramel and stick back in peanuts. Repeat with the remaining logs.
- Allow to cool completely before eating.
