Indulge in sweet nostalgia with this Old Fashion Peanut Butter Roll, a no-bake treat that combines creamy peanut butter and a melt-in-your-mouth powdered sugar dough for the perfect balance of sweet and salty. With just four simple ingredients—powdered sugar, whole milk, vanilla extract, and peanut butter—this classic recipe comes together in just 20 minutes of prep time. The dough is rolled thin, spread with a layer of rich peanut butter, and swirled into a delightful spiral reminiscent of childhood desserts. Perfect for holidays, potlucks, or an afternoon sugar fix, this chilled confection is as easy to make as it is to savor. Slice it up and enjoy a little piece of retro sweetness! Ideal for peanut butter lovers and anyone looking for a quick, crowd-pleasing dessert.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix the ingredients until they form a stiff dough. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it becomes pliable but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a clean, flat surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out into a thin rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly across the entire surface of the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1/2-inch margin on all sides.
Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Use both hands to ensure the roll stays even and compact as you go.
Once the roll is formed, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to hold its shape. Place the wrapped roll in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, remove the roll from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Use a sharp knife to slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Arrange the slices on a serving platter and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
