Peanut Butter Divinity Roll

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.

Original recipe makes 2 divinity rolls

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup water
2 egg whites
1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar, or as needed
1/2 cup peanut butter, or as needed

  • PREP

    20 mins

  • COOK

    15 mins

  • READY IN

    35 mins

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.
