Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This will be the delicious filling for your pinwheel candies.
2. On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out the peanut butter mixture into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Make sure the rectangle is even and flat for easy rolling.
3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
4. Carefully spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter rectangle, leaving a small border around the edges. This will create a delicious chocolate layer for your pinwheel candies.
5. Starting from one edge, carefully roll up the peanut butter and chocolate layers into a tight log. Use the parchment paper to help you roll and shape the candy log.
6. Place the rolled candy log in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes to set.
7. Once the candy log is firm, remove it from the refrigerator and slice it into individual pinwheels, about 1/2 inch thick. You can use a sharp knife to create clean slices.
8. Arrange the peanut butter pinwheel candies on a serving plate or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy. These sweet treats make for a wonderful snack or dessert for any occasion.
