Peanut Butter Pinwheels

Hi, it’s Jennifer from The Life of Jennifer Dawn. Today I’m going to be sharing a recipe with you that was passed down from my great grandmother. It was her version of old fashioned potato candy -minus the potatoes. The peanut butter swirls that are a trademark of this treat are still present, but she simplified hers down to five tasty ingredients. Up until recently, we didn’t have a written version of this recipe. My great grandmother used to make it for my mother who later made it for my sister and me. I watched my mother mix up a batch for my own daughter a few years back and carefully wrote down every step.
