This is the recipe my Mom always went by when I was a kid. By far the best peanut butter roll recipe there is! After you add the syrup mixture to the egg whites, it is best to use a stand mixer. I have burnt up plenty of hand held ones making this candy. Lol The way I can always tell when it's ready to roll out is that it will lose most of its shine and the consistency will change. You just have to watch it and it does take a little bit in the mixer to achieve it.
