Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter, cream cheese and brown sugar. Add egg yolk and maple flavoring; mix well. Gradually add flour. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until easy to handle.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan or microwave, melt caramels. Stir in cream cheese until blended; set aside. Divide dough in half. Roll each portion between waxed paper to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread caramel mixture over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up tightly, jelly-roll style, starting with a long side. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm.
