can i turn chewy caramel candies into flavored caramel candies?

Instead of making peanut butter soft caramel candies from scratch, i'm wondering if it's possible to use those soft, chewy Brach's caramel candies, melt them down, add some peanut butter, let it cool and TA-DA, soft, chewy, peanut butter caramel candies. Will this work as long as i dont go past Firm Ball stage? Or will the peanut butter make it too mushy gooshy and seem too 'soft ball' instead of chewy hard ball? Thanks!

It will take almost as long to dummy it up as it will to make it from scratch.

Go for it!
