serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup corn syrup
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon hot water
1/2 cup marshmallow creme

directions

Combine the peanut butter, corn syrup, maple syrup, and hot water in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until smooth.

Add the marshmallow creme and mix just until combined.

Serve the peanut butter marshmallow sauce immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let come to room temperature before serving (make sure to stir it well).

recipe tips


For a richer flavor, try using dark maple syrup or adding a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness.

If the sauce is too thick, add a little more hot water, a teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Experiment with adding a dash of vanilla extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon for a flavor twist.

This sauce can be used as a creative filling for sandwiches or as a unique twist in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

For a chocolatey touch, mix in some mini chocolate chips or a swirl of chocolate syrup.

common recipe questions


Can natural peanut butter be used in place of regular creamy peanut butter?

Yes, natural peanut butter can be used, but it may affect the texture and consistency of the sauce. Natural peanut butter tends to be less smooth and more oily.

What are some serving suggestions for this sauce?

This sauce is versatile and can be used as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or as a dip for fruit and pretzels. It's also great drizzled over brownies or cakes.

Can the sauce be warmed up before serving?

Yes, gently warming the sauce can enhance its flavor and texture. Warm it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between, or over low heat on the stove. Just be aware that the sauce will be more runny when heated.

Is there a substitute for corn syrup in this recipe?

You can use honey or golden syrup as a substitute for corn syrup, but it may slightly alter the flavor of the sauce.

Can you make this sauce with chunky peanut butter?

Yes, using chunky peanut butter will add texture to the sauce, making it great for those who enjoy bits of peanuts in their sauce.
