- 1 cup crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 1/2 cup finely chopped roasted peanuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups caramel candies (soft)
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling:
- Combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, crushed biscuits, roasted peanuts, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Balls:
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm.

- Set the Coating:
- Allow the caramel coating to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm.
- Serve and Enjoy:
