Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the milk, peanut butter, and honey until well combined.
- Place over very low heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother fondue, use creamy peanut butter instead of crunchy. If you prefer a sweeter dip, increase the honey to taste. You can also substitute maple syrup for honey for a different flavor profile. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash more milk to achieve your desired consistency. This fondue pairs beautifully with fruits, marshmallows, or even pretzels like Mike'S Howdy-Do-Homemade Pretzels for a fun twist.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this peanut butter fondue warm with an assortment of dippable items such as apple slices, bananas, pretzels, or marshmallows. For a fun dessert platter, arrange these alongside a batch of Two Way Toffee Bars or So Good Sticky Buns. This dessert is perfect for gatherings and can be a delightful treat for kids and adults alike.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover peanut butter fondue in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, gently warm it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently to restore its creamy texture. If it thickens, add a little milk to loosen it up again. Avoid using the microwave, as it can cause uneven heating.
