Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and heavy cream.
Place the saucepan over low heat and stir constantly with a heat-resistant rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
Continue stirring until everything is fully incorporated and the sauce has a glossy, silky texture.
Serve the sauce warm over ice cream, pancakes, or waffles. Alternatively, let it cool slightly to use as a dip for fruit or other desserts.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving.
