Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

Recipe Note

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.
