Peanut Butter Candy! Family Favorite Recipe!Peanut Butter Candy!

I thought this week I would make a family favorite!  My Mom’s recipe – Peanut Butter Candy!

It’s easy and a fun treat to work on with the kids!

Peanut Butter Candy

Peanut Butter – Smooth or Crunchy – Crunchy tends to make it less sweet (in this case that’s a good thing!)

Powdered Sugar

Mashed Potato (I know it sounds odd – just watch)

You can make this with leftover mashed potatoes or with a potato you boil and mash up with a fork.  You only need a small amount so it’s perfect for even a spoonful leftover from dinner.

We usually make it during the Holidays – so, you can use your leftover Thanksgiving or mashed potatoes, too!

I used a potato I boiled and smashed with a fork until pretty smooth.  Put this in a mixing bowl and then add powdered sugar a bit at a time and mix by hand until it becomes dough-like.

The potato makes the powdered sugar get really thin and wet so you have to keep mixing and adding powdered sugar until you get a dough.

Lay out some wax paper and cover it with powdered sugar.

029

Take your dough and lay it on the wax paper and roll it out thin.  You may need to add some more powdered sugar if it’s too wet while you are rolling it out.


033Then smooth a thin layer of peanut butter over it, and then roll the dough up like a log.

Of course, Mom’s looks better!

Place it in the freezer or fridge until set well and then slice it and keep it cold until served.

That’s it!  Fast and easy!

  2. I was just posting my new Tuesday’s Tasty Tidbits and realized that I had not even checked out the recipes from the last one. I wish I had so I could have added this to my candy/cookie tray I needed for the holidays. It looks so yummy!

  8. My mother showed my brother and I how to make these when we were kids. That was over 40 years ago. For a demonstration assignment in Jr high, I chose to show the class how to make these. I have shown my children, and plan to make them with my grandchildren soon.
