Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup smooth peanut butter
- 0.75 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy cream, unsalted butter, and light brown sugar over medium-low heat. Stir consistently until the butter is melted and sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the saucepan and stir until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the smooth peanut butter until fully incorporated and creamy.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, then remove the saucepan from heat.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving. It will thicken as it stands.
Serve warm over your favorite ice cream, brownies, or other desserts. Store any leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving.
