School Lunch Peanut Butter Nougats

This is another of those school lunch recipes that Grandmother Smith and I enjoyed. It was a good thing that she amassed a goodly number of cookies recipes over the years because that was my favorite after school snack--cookies and milk. This is more of a candy than a cookie but I still liked them with milk. The cookies were stored in our cookie jar and were always there for hungry grandchildren to eat. I must admit that it was easier for grandma to keep her grandchildren happy since she had only four. I have, to date, 33. Keeping a full cookie jar on my counter is not easy.

1 cup peanut butter
I cup white Karo corn syrup
1 1/4 cup dry milk
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Combine the peanut butter and Karo syrup. Gradually stir in nonfat dry milk powder.  Mix well. Turn onto waxed paper and knead until well-blended. Shape into desired shape. For a firmer candy, chill in the refrigerator for one hour prior to serving.
