Ingredients
Scale
Syrup Mixture
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp light corn syrup
Main Ingredients
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 (7-oz) jar marshmallow creme
Instructions
- Prepare the syrup mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup water, and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Once boiling, remove the pan from heat and let the syrup cool completely to room temperature before proceeding.
- Mix peanut butter base: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add 2 cups creamy peanut butter, 1 (7-oz) jar marshmallow creme, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat on low speed just until the ingredients are combined and smooth.
- Incorporate syrup mixture: With the mixer running on low, slowly pour in the cooled brown sugar syrup. Once fully added, increase the speed to medium and beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and well aerated.
- Store the peanut butter: Transfer the Amish peanut butter to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Serve chilled or at room temperature as a spread or a dip.
Notes
- Allow the syrup to cool completely before adding it to the peanut butter mixture to avoid melting the marshmallow creme.
- Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture; chunky peanut butter will alter the smoothness.
- This peanut butter spread is excellent on toast, in sandwiches, or as a dip for fruits and crackers.
- Store in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
- For a slightly stiffer consistency, chill the spread before use.
