Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother consistency, try using creamy peanut butter instead of chunky. If you're looking for a lighter option, consider substituting half of the light corn syrup with honey or maple syrup for added flavor. This syrup can also be thinned with a touch of warm water if it becomes too thick after storage. It's a delicious topping for pancakes, waffles, or drizzled over the Sour Cream Fruit Dip.
