Peanut Caramel Delights

• 1 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 package (14 ounces) caramels
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts
• 3 cups milk chocolate chips

1. Line an 8-in. square dish with foil; grease foil with 1 teaspoon butter and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the corn syrup, peanut butter, vanilla, salt and remaining butter. Beat on high speed for 1 minute. Gradually add confectioner's sugar and mix well. Press into prepared pan.
3. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt caramels with water; stir until smooth. Stir in peanuts. Pour over corn syrup mixture. Refrigerate for 1-1/2 hours or until firm.
4. Using foil, lift candy out of pan. Invert onto a cutting board; cut into 1-in. pieces. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip candy in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in the refrigerator.
