My mother made these frequently! No wonder I have a sweet tooth…
Peanut Butter Pinwheels
16 oz. powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (to keep dough from sticking to paper)
1/2 cup softened butter
3 tbsps milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz. peanut butter
In mixing bowl, combine 16 oz sugar, butter, milk, and vanilla (should be stiff and dough-like).
Chill for a few minutes to help prevent sticking.
Divide dough into 2 balls, and roll each ball out to pie crust thickness (Use parchment or wax paper and plenty of powdered sugar both over and under dough to keep it from sticking).
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.
O.M.G. fabulous
They are truly fabu! 🙂
Oh God, those look dangerous!
But sooooooo tasty!!
Who needs pinterest for recipes when they can just go to your blog!
I think you appreciate my recipes more than anyone else! REALLY Southern!! 🙂
I showed this to my boyfriend, and he is now demanding we try them 🙂 x
I promise you both will like them!
Grandmother used to make this with mashed potatoes and less powdered sugar to help use up the left over mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving…still has the same sweetness and very yummy!
My mother never used potatoes, but I’m sure they’re good too!
I haven’t had these in years! Thanks for sharing.
My mother is smiling down from Heaven right now!! 🙂

My family made these with mashed potatoes. We called them potato candy. A favorite from childhood!
I’ve never had them made with potatoes, but I hear that they’re delicious!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My step mom made these every Christmas, soooo good! Can’t wait to try these, I’m sure they’ll be incredible! Hmmmm, with mashed pots?? Maybe……
My beloved mother L.J. made these every Christmas as well! I’m glad I could bring back some happy memories for you!!
Made them today. Love them! Thanks
So glad!! 🙂
I can’t wait to try these. I’m making them right now, but my “dough” has an icing consistency. Trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong. Do you have to use real butter? Thanks for the recipe!
It sounds like you need to add more powdered sugar. Using margarine shouldn’t make a difference.
My mom made this every year as well. Happy to see someone else enjoyed as well. Yummy
