Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Pinwheels

It was her version of old fashioned potato candy–minus the potatoes. The peanut butter swirls that are a trademark of this treat are still present, but she simplified hers down to five tasty ingredients. Up until recently, we didn’t have a written version of this recipe. My great grandmother used to make it for my mother who later made it for my sister and me. I watched my mother mix up a batch for my own daughter a few years back and carefully wrote down every step.

If you are looking for a sugary sweet treat that is quick and easy to prepare, this might be the perfect choice. It tastes similar to peanut butter fudge and melts in your mouth. This is perfect to prepare with the kids. Generation after generation have already tested it out in my family. Little hands will love mixing and rolling the dough. I’ll warn you though. Once they start tasting the finished result, these peanut butter pinwheels won’t last long.

2. Remove from heat and add in the vanilla.
3. Pour the powdered sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the cream mixture to the powdered sugar a little at a time. Continue to stir and a little cream until you get a dough-like consistency. Tip: You may not need to use all of the cream mixture, so it is important to add it gradually.
