A rich, sweet treat combining creamy peanut butter with melted white chocolate, marshmallows, and peanuts for a crunchy, gooey dessert suitable for sharing at parties or gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the melted white chocolate and peanut butter until smooth.
- Add the miniature marshmallows and peanuts to the mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the mixture into a 13 x 9-inch pan and spread evenly.
- Allow to set until firm, then slice into squares and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother finish, ensure the white chocolate is fully melted before blending with the peanut butter. If you prefer a crunchier texture, consider using honey-roasted peanuts instead of regular ones. You can also substitute almond butter for a different flavor profile. If you want to add some extra flavor, consider mixing in a pinch of sea salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the Peanut Butter Hash into bite-sized squares for easy serving. It pairs beautifully with a glass of milk or coffee for a delightful snack. For a festive touch, you can serve it alongside fruit or cheese, similar to a Fruit And Cheese Ball platter. This treat is perfect for parties or as a sweet addition to dessert trays.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Peanut Butter Hash in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you need to keep it longer, refrigerate it, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the consistency of the chocolate and peanut butter.
