Watkins Holiday Logs

1/3 cup soft butter
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla - Double Strength
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon Watkins Rum or Watkins Peppermint Extract
few drops food coloring
1 pound caramels
3 tablespoons light cream or evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans -- toasted

To make fondant center, combine butter, syrup, Watkins Vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add powdered sugar; mix together with a fork, then knead with hands. Mixture will be very dry, but softens with kneading

Divide into halves if desired and add the Watkins Extracts above or make all one flavor. Tint with a few drops of food color. Form into rolls 1 inch in diameter. Cut fondant rolls into 6 pieces and wrap individually in plastic wrap or waxed paper. Store overnight in freezer or refrigerator

Make caramel-nut coating the next day by heating caramels and cream in double-boiler. Dip chilled fondant rolls into warm caramel mixture, spooning to cover. (Work quickly so rolls don't soften.) Immediately roll in chopped pecans, wrap in plastic wrap or foil and chill. Store logs in refrigerator or freezer until ready to serve. Slice just before serving.
