Peanut Butter Roll
- 4 c. sugar
- 1 c. white Karo syrup
- 1 c. water
- 3 egg whites
- 1 large (2 lb. 12 oz.) jar smooth peanut butter
- Combine in saucepan, sugar, syrup and water.
- Start cooking slow and increase heat as mixture starts to cook.
- Cook until hard boil on candy thermometer.
- When temperature gets almost to hard boil, beat in large mixing bowl the egg whites until stiff.
- Slowly drizzle the candy mixture into the egg whites with the mixer beating and the bowl rotating.
- As you beat, you can pour a little heavier stream, but be careful not to cook the egg whites.
- The mixture will get real smooth and shiny.
- Beat until it gets a slightly cloudy look and then either beat slowly with mixer or by hand until you get a dough-like texture on a large spoon.
- Spoon out dough into 4 to 5 rolls.
- Then with flour on your hands, pat down and knead like dough if necessary.
- Roll with well floured rolling pin and spread softened peanut butter on dough.
- Roll like jelly roll and set aside to get a little firmer before cutting on an angle.
