It’s National Peanut Butter Day! My family is made up of a bunch of peanut butter fanatics so when I realized what day it was I dropped what I was doing and rushed into the kitchen to mix up a batch of this delicious syrup so to show you how easy it is to make and some of the many uses for it.
This very versatile recipe has a simple formula: 1 part peanut butter to 2 parts syrup. The syrup I’m using in this post is Honey but you can also use maple syrup, karo syrup or even pancake syrup in it’s place.
Ready? Lets get started! Don’t blink because you’ll miss it if you do 🙂
 Place peanut butter and honey (or whatever syrup you’re using) in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Heat for 30 seconds in your microwave, stir. Heat thirty seconds more and stir until smooth and creamy.Â
You’re done!Â
 This is excellent over ice cream…
But it’s also amazing over pancakes.
Be sure and try it on biscuits, waffles, french toast, regular toast, and if all else fails, just eat it with a spoon!
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge.
This is a peanut butter lover’s heaven!
Surprise your family tonight with this delicious treat!
- ½ cup honey, maple syrup, corn syrup (karo), or pancake syrup
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- In microwave safe bowl or measuring cup, combine syrup and peanut butter.
- Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave thirty seconds more. Stir until creamy and well combined.

My Grandma made something similar when we were kids. “Peanut Butter Surprise”
She used light corn syrup and spread it on white bread. One of my favorite desserts as a child!
I remember that when I was young…we use to dunk our bread in a bowl of corn syrup was my favorite as a child as well
Christy, love your column. This one really brings back memories. Being children of the Depression, we often had this. We would put a big blob of peanut butter on a dinner plate and pour maple syrup on it and swirl it around till it was creamy, then we would sop it up with “light bread”. Once when my brother came home from a birthday party my mother asked him what he had to eat and he said…”We sopped syrup” and he thought it was great. What would kids do now, I wonder?
LOVE it!! I don’t think they would understand just what a treat it is!
I thought I made this up myself several years ago. How funny that this is a depression era treat.
🙂 As they say Mary, great minds think alike!!
I grew up eating peanut butter & syrup! Every once in a while, I’ll eat it now.
Me too! We always preferred peanut butter and syrup sandwiches over pb and j!
I’ve been using this as dip for saltine crackers since I was a kid, and I’m 57. We couldn’t just run out to the store when we had a craving for sweets so moms were very creative.
Oh my goodness, I had never thought about using it as a dip for saltines, I have got to try it!
Wow! How easy!
It really is, and so delicious!
This looks delicious and SO simple. I cannot wait to try it!! Thank you!
I hope you get the chance to try it soon!! Let me know what you try it on!!
I’ve been doing this ever since I was old enought to unscrew the peanut butter jar and the Karo bottle. Sometime it was the molasses bottle also. We would also mix it up and pour it into fresh warm homemade biscuits that we had put a hole in the biscuit with our finger! Better than any dessert!
I always have this in the fridge. My daughter would eat a shoe if it was dipped in this. 🙂
Wow, this looks amazing. My kids would love this! Me, too!
I grew up eating this with buttered biscuits or toast. The absolute best syrup to make this with is Golden Eagle brand syrup. You’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven!
🙂 Amen!!
I agree! Golden Eagle is the absolute best! I grew up eating this and have found no one else who has ever heard of it until now. I’ve tried to get my kids and husband to eat it to no avail. They don’t know what they are missing.
This was a common breakfast treat when I was a kid. (I’m 56.) My parents would use a fork to put a dollop of peanut butter in the middle of a plate. Then, drizzle pancake syrup over that and stir together with the fork. Then, we would toast bread and tear it into bite-size pieces and place those pieces around the edge of the plate (like flower petals). We would use that same fork to pierce a piece of toast and dip it in the peanut butter mixture. Yummy and favorite breakfast!
I am 83 and never hear of this. I will have to make this a lot to make up all the time I missed eating this wonderful syrup.
I like the way you think Joan!!
