Looking for an easy Christmas candy recipe? This salted holiday nut roll is easy and makes plenty to share with friends and family!
Are you looking to try a new Christmas candy this year? Why not make a homemade salted holiday nut roll? They are super easy and absolutely delicious! It comes together with just a few ingredients and makes plenty to share. You won’t need a candy thermometer or even a double boiler to make this! How great is that! This one is also fun for kids to help with!
In a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup melt two (12 oz) bags of white chocolate chips with one can of sweetened condensed milk. Heat in the microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each 30 seconds. The white chocolate chips should be hot enough to lose their shape and mix into the sweetened condensed milk. Mix the butter, salt and vanilla into the hot white chocolate mixture. It should be completely smooth.
Refrigerate the white chocolate mixture for 45-60 minutes. It should be completely cool and slightly sticky. Dump it onto a cutting board and knead a couple times and divide into 4 equal pieces.
Sprinkle your work surface with a some chopped nuts. I use the mixed ice cream chopped nuts from Walmart. Sprinkle the nuts with a little popcorn salt. I’m sure regular salt would be fine. I like the popcorn salt because it is really fine. Take a piece of the white chocolate center and shape it into a stubby, short log. As you roll the nut roll will lengthen. Roll it through the nuts until the outside in covered in nuts.
My salted holiday nut rolls ended up being about as big around as a quarter and roughly 10 inches long. Wrap in wax paper and chill for 2 hours. Slice and enjoy!
