Time 30m

Yield 1 roll

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter (I use blue bonnet, not all butter will set up)
1 lb confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Karo syrup
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
4 cups peanut butter (more or less depending on your taste)

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.
