CASHEW CANDIES 
3 c. confectioners' sugar
1 jar marshmallow creme
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 pkg. caramels
3 tbsp. water
3 c. chopped salted cashews

In a bowl, combine the first four ingredients; knead until smooth (mixture will be dry). Shape into eight rolls 5 in. long x 1/2 in. in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper and freeze until firm. Place the caramels in a shallow microwave safe dish; uncovered on high until melted. Add water; stir until smooth. Carefully dip the frozen rolls into the caramel mixture, then roll in cashews. Wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour. Cut into 1/3 in. slices.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
