Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Roll Candy

DELICIOUS--I could not find this on here, so I searched elsewhere and found it. This recipe needs your full attention while cooking. Worth the effort!!!!

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 1 roll

Ingredients

• 3  cups sugar
• 1⁄2 cup  white Karo
• 1⁄2 cup hot water
• 2  egg whites, well beaten (3 if sm. eggs)
• 3⁄4 cup peanut butter

Directions

1. Cook sugar, Karo syrup and water without stirring, until the mixture forms a soft ball (235° F) when dropped in cold water or you have a 6-inch strand when spoon is lifted out of hot syrup.
2. Have egg whites beaten; very slowly pour hot syrup into the whites while continuously beating at the same time.
3. Continue beating until you can hardly turn the mixture by hand and it loses its gloss.
4. Quickly spread on buttered and powdered sugar-dusted surface.
5. Roll with roller carefully and spread peanut butter that has been softened by setting the jar in a pan of hot water.
6. After spreading the peanut butter on the candy, roll and slice.
7. The white candy can be colored green while beating for a pretty look for Christmas.
