PEANUT BUTTER DIVINITY ROLL



Peanut Butter Divinity Roll image

Loved these as a kid. Mom called them pinwheels. She stopped making them, lost the recipe I guess. So it took a while for me to get it right.

Provided by LUNAWOLVIN

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Divinity Recipes

Time 35m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ cups white sugar
⅔ cup light corn syrup
⅓ cup water
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar, or as needed
½ cup peanut butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, corn syrup, and water together in a deep pan; bring to a boil. Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball (hard ball stage), about 15 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites in a glass or metal bowl until stiff peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form sharp peaks.
  • Slowly pour sugar mixture over egg whites while beating with an electric mixer. Beat until candy clings to a spoon and loses some of its shine. Spread candy mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Generously spread peanut butter over candy mixture. Roll candy into one large roll; cut into 2 rolls. Slice each roll into desired pieces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, unsalted peanut butter for the best flavor and a smooth texture.
  • Make sure the cream is cold before you begin mixing the filling. This will help it to whip up light and fluffy.
  • Don't overmix the filling, or it will become too stiff. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the filling into the rolls.
  • Bake the rolls until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 20-25 minutes.
