PEANUT BUTTER PINWHEELS

Steps:

• In mixing bowl, combine 16 oz of powdered sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla. The mixture will become stiff and dough-like
• Pop in the fridge and let chill for a few minutes to help prevent sticking.
• Divide dough into 2 balls, and roll each ball out to pie crust thickness. Roll onto parchment paper dusted with powdered sugar to help aid in the rolling.
• Heat peanut butter until runny and easily spreadable- not too hot- and spread evenly over rolled dough.
• Roll dough into a log (you may have to sprinkle a little more powdered sugar on it as you go to help with stickiness).
• Chill 1 hour and slice into 1/4" pinwheels- keep refrigerated.

GRANDMA'S PINWHEEL CANDY

Steps:

• Mix all but peanut butter together.
• (add more milk/ or sugar if you need. Should be like a doughy ball, but not real sticky).
• On wax paper, sprinkle some of the sugar on it to help if from sticking, and roll out mixture. Make it as square as possible.( I roll mine out sort thin, but again this depends on your preference).
• Smooth on peanut butter to desired thickness.
• Start on oneside, and begin rolling it up. (It will look like a large log) Put sugar on your hands and keep putting on 'log' as you roll it up to help make it easier.
• Take the 'log', and roll it up in wax paper, and then a kitchen hand towel (to help keep shape) and chill in the fridge (or freezer if you are in a hurry)The colder- the easier to slice.
• Once cold, slice as desired thickness.
• (put wax paper in between layers when stacking so the pieces don't stick together).
• Keep refridgerated until time to serve.
