Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the butter is at room temperature before mixing with the powdered sugar. If you want to add flavor, consider incorporating a few drops of vanilla extract or even chocolate chips. For a nut-free version, substitute the peanut butter with almond butter or sun butter, which can provide a similar richness without the nuts.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the roll candy into thin rounds for a delightful treat. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider serving them alongside Strawberry Delight Pies for a delightful dessert platter that will impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to two weeks. To serve after refrigeration, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing for easier cutting.
