In a large mixing bowl, sift the powdered sugar to remove any lumps.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the powdered sugar. Mix until a dough begins to form. It should be pliable but not sticky. If the mixture is too dry, add milk 1 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
On a clean surface, place a sheet of wax or parchment paper. Sprinkle it lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
Transfer the sugar dough onto the prepared surface and roll it out into a rectangular shape about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin.
Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving a small border (about 1/2 inch) along the edges.
Carefully roll the dough into a tight log, starting from one of the shorter edges, to form a roll.
Wrap the peanut butter roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once chilled, remove the roll from the refrigerator and unwrap. Slice into 1/2-inch thick pieces using a sharp, serrated knife.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
