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

Instructions
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and heavy cream.
Microwave the mixture on high for 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1–2 minutes total.
Once melted, stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, blending until fully incorporated.
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or salt if desired.
Let the sauce cool slightly to thicken, or use immediately while warm.
Drizzle over your favorite dessert, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Reheat gently before serving.
