Peanut butter nut roll is made with a brown sugar cooked fudge mixture, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, and finely chopped pecans.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Preparation:

In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, evaporated milk, and vinegar. Cook, stirring, until sugars dissolve. Cook, stirring often, to soft ball stage, 238°. Cool, without stirring, to lukewarm, about 110°. Beat until creamy. Stir in peanut butter; mix until well blended. Turn onto a surface dusted with confectioners' sugar. Knead in sifted confectioners' sugar, about 1 cup, to make firm. Shape into a roll about 12 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Roll in chopped pecans, pressing nuts firmly into the roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.

*To Test for Soft Ball Stage
A small amount of syrup dropped into chilled water forms a ball, but is soft enough to flatten when picked up with fingers (234° to 240°).
