#1154 - No Bake Peanut Butter Candy

(by Marty Gearhart - friend)

2lb. Domino's powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 stick butter (softened)
1 - 12oz. can Carnation evaporated milk (NOT condensed)
Jif peanut butter

In a large bowl add softened butter--beat with a spoon. Add vanilla--beat with a spoon. Add all of the powdered sugar--stir. Add 1/4 of the evaporated milk--stir. Add another 1/4 of the evaporated milk--stir. For the remaining milk, add JUST ENOUGH so that the batter ends up like the texture of cookie dough (you most likely WILL NOT use the whole can of milk). Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on your counter--place 1/2 of the dough on top. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to about 1/4" thick. Use a spatula to smear a layer of peanut butter all over the top of the dough. Start at one end of the dough and carefully roll the dough (like a jelly roll). Wrap the dough roll in Saran wrap and place on a cookie sheet. Repeat with second half of the dough. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Remove the dough from the refrigerator, remove the Saran wrap, and slice each roll into 1/2" thick coin shaped pieces. Place each piece on Saran wrap covered cookie sheets. Repeat with all dough rolls. Refrigerate until cold. Keep them refrigerated.
