Amish Peanut Butter Spread

For a nuttier flavor, use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.

Experiment with different flavors by adding a touch of cocoa powder or a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

To make the spread more indulgent, try mixing in some chocolate chips or chopped candies.

For a lighter version, you can use low-sugar or natural peanut butter and use a sugar-free or agave syrup.

What type of peanut butter should I use?

Any type of creamy peanut butter (or other nut butter) will work. Note that natural peanut butters may be thicker than others and require a little more elbow grease to incorporate the ingredients. Gently heating the peanut butter so it's warm but not melty can help.

Can I substitute honey for corn syrup in this recipe?

While honey can be used as a substitute, it will alter the flavor slightly since honey has a distinct taste compared to corn syrup. A reviewer mentioned using maple syrup as a substitute with good results.

What can I use the spread for?

This spread is perfect for sandwiches, as a dip for fruit or crackers, or as a topping for pancakes or waffles.

Can I freeze the spread?

It is not recommended to freeze this spread as it may alter the texture and consistency when thawed.

What can I do if the spread is too thick or too thin?

If the spread is too thick, you can add a small amount of warm water to thin it out. If it is too thin, you can mix in a bit more marshmallow creme.

Is there a way to enhance the flavor of the spread?

You can experiment with adding a pinch of salt, a dash of vanilla extract, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Can I use homemade marshmallow creme in this recipe?

You can use homemade marshmallow creme, just make sure it is the same consistency as store-bought creme.

How can I prevent the spread from becoming too hard in the refrigerator?

Allow the spread to come to room temperature before using to soften it up and make it easier to spread. We do not recommend microwaving the spread to try to speed up the process as the mixture may separate.
