Peanut Butter Candy

By Lorena_321

Ingredients

• 1 lb powdered sugar
• 6 T butter, room temp
• 7 t milk
• peanut butter

Preparation

Step 1

Mix sugar and butter until blended. Add milk 1 t at a time until the mixture pulls away from edge and almost makes a ball. Too dry and your dough will crack; too wet and it will be sticky. Roll into a ball, then roll out into a 9x14" rectangle, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick. It is easier to roll between two sheets of plastic or wax paper.
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit down the center of the dough, longways. Spread each side with a thin layer of peanut butter,not to edges, though.
Chill for 15 minutes to help it set a bit.
With the assistance of the plastic wrap, roll the dough into logs starting with the long edges, then seal the seams by lightly pinching and smoothing them. It is a bit tricky and the dough will crack, the peanut butter will ooze, and the edges may not seal.
Using a sharp knife, gently cut the rolls into 1/2 inch pieces. You will get about 24 to 30 pieces. Place in paper candy papers on a candy dish and cover tightly with plastic wrap (they can dry out quickly) until ready to serve or store, wrapped well, in freezer up to 3 months.
