How to Make Old Fashion Peanut Butter Roll

  1. Beat 3 large egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Prepare your work surface by covering it with wax paper and dusting generously with powdered sugar.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup water, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage). This will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The mixture will be hard and have a soft crack when tested in cold water.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup creamy peanut butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
  6. Carefully pour the hot peanut butter mixture into the beaten egg whites while mixing constantly with an electric mixer on low speed. Continue to beat until the mixture is cool, light, and fluffy and resembles marshmallow cream (about 8-10 minutes).
  7. Pour the mixture onto the powdered sugar-dusted wax paper. Dust the top with more powdered sugar.
  8. Carefully roll the candy out into a thin rectangle using a lightly powdered sugar-dusted rolling pin.
  9. Spread a thin layer of additional peanut butter evenly over the rolled-out candy.
  10. Gently roll up the candy, starting from one of the long sides.
  11. Wrap the roll tightly in wax paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before slicing and serving.
