Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or heatproof spatula until it melts and turns into a golden amber color. Be careful not to burn it.
Once the sugar is fully melted, carefully add the unsalted butter. The mixture will bubble up, so stir continuously until the butter is fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring. The mixture will bubble up again, so exercise caution to prevent splashing.
Let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Quickly stir in the smooth peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Transfer the warm peanut caramel dip to a serving bowl and let it cool slightly before serving.
Pair with sliced apples, bananas, pretzels, or cookies for dipping. Enjoy!
