GRANDMA'S CANDY 1 bag of powdered sugar. Mix 2t. vanilla and enough milk(go slow) to make into rollable mixture (like pie crust). Sprinkle p. sugar on board and roll out mixture till thin, also like pie crust. Spread peanut butter thinly on top of all. Roll up from one side, like jelly roll. Cover roll and place in fridge for a couple of hours. Remove and cut into slices. Cut 'em thick if you are into rich rich sweets, thin if you want them to go farther! I wasn't hungry till started this!
