PEANUT BUTTER PINWHEEL CANDY

This recipe for Peanut Butter Pinwheels has been handed down in my circle of relatives for generations! Don’t allow the secret ingredient idiot you, those are a conventional preferred sweet that I’m certain you’re going to like!

I really like that this is an no-bake recipe, and that’s part of what makes them a holiday favored that I grew up making. while my mother would be the usage of the oven to prep vacation dinner essentials, i'd stay out of her manner making classic no-bake treats like my preferred no-bake cookies and those peanut butter pinwheels.

I received’t lie, i used to be virtually alarmed the primary time my mom ever shared this recipe with me, I really idea she’d lost her thoughts. i really like potatoes in savory recipes like mashed potatoes and potato soup, but potatoes in sweet!?  

agree with me, it works.  The potatoes serve as the binding base for your candy pinwheel dough, and by tasting them you’d never have the ability to inform that they’re the name of the game element in this recipe.  There are a few things to be aware of while making this candy, even though…
