In case you didn’t know, my family is made up of a bunch of peanut butter fanatics. So on National Peanut Butter Day each year, I drop what I am doing and rush into the kitchen to mix up a batch of this delicious peanut butter syrup. It’s basically sweet peanut butter bliss, I tell ya! Here’s the recipe to show you how easy it is to make and some of the many uses for it. When I say it takes just 1 minute, I mean 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 pure maple syrup, Karo syrup (corn syrup), or even pancake syrup in its place. Thick, creamy, sweet, and rich, your pancakes, waffles, or ice cream sundae will never be the same again. Once you try this peanut butter syrup recipe, I just know you’ll make it again and again. It’s the most decadent way to get your peanut butter fix.

Some other delicious dessert sauces you might like to try include dulce de leche for caramel lovers, Mama’s custard sauce, and my pecan praline sauce

But it’s also the perfect way to make scrumptious peanut butter pancakes.

Be sure to try it for breakfast on homemade biscuits, waffles, French toast, or regular toast.

It’s a fantastic warm dessert topping too. Drizzle your peanut butter sauce over a slice of pound cake, cheesecake, bread pudding, brownies, or cookies. If all else fails, just eat it with a spoon!

Store syrup in a jar in the fridge.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to store mine in a mason jar, as above.

Recipe Notes

I recommend using creamy peanut butter in this recipe. Natural peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter don’t microwave as well, so the syrup consistency won’t be as smooth.

    1. I like to take a spoon of peanut butter and put on my ice cream. This recipe makes it spread better. I should try it! When I was in Home Ec., some of us made a salad that had a dressing of: peanut butter, honey and mayo (I think). I know you’re not a mayo lover, but you’ll have to try it. I think we put it over bananas and I don’t remember if something else. And about the advertisements! Don’t make me no mind. 🙂

    2. I grew up having this on pancakes, biscuits, waffles, or just a piece of toast. It’s great! I have never heated mine up in the microwave, but I’m sure that will help thin it out a little if you like your spread thin. It is worth a try for all of you who have never had this!

    3. I have been eating peanut butter n syrup all my life.
      I was raised on Steen’s pure cane syrup. It dark like mollases and full of flavor. It is also high in potassium and iron.
      Like the saying goes- once you go black you want go back.
      I dont eat much bread anymore but I still eat my PB&S with apples, bananas and other fruits.

    4. Guess I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but the first thought that came to mind when I read Kat’s comment was “what advertisments?”. I guess I enjoy the story and recipe so much I never bothered to look anywhere else. 🙂

      1. E.J. I just love you!
        I’ve always found that the truth of the matter is we find what we’re looking for. So if you’re finding good in things, then that is a testament to the type of person you are. You look for the best in people and situations 🙂
        Bless you and thank you so much for being here.
        Gratefully,
        Christy

        1. You are sunshine Christy! I feel joy reading your blog 🙂 I made meals for my daughter and her husband for 2 days a week, the following year after their 1st child was born. It was such a boost for them. Most of the recipes I used were yours! Peanut butter and honey melded together on low heat is a match made in heaven! Take off the heat and add 1/2 C of carob or cocoa, seeds and nuts, (dates or dried fruit if you like) pour into a pan, chill and you have the fruit from such a match. Delicious energy bites :o)

      2. Im with EJ on this , I dont even notice…. lol when I go back up I will have to actually LOOK for them. I adjust my looking to what Christy writes and the recipies.

    5. CHRISTY, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE RECIPES YOU SEND TO US BUT AS FAR AS KAT, SHE IS A NEGATIVE PERSON AND DOESN’T NEED TO VIEW YOUR WEB-SITE. NEGATIVE PEOPLE ONLY LIVE A MISERABLE LIFE.
      I LOVE YOUR RECIPES BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SIMPLE AND QUICK TO MAKE USING EVERYDAY ITEMS IN THE HOUSE.

    6. Commenting again to let you know I made blueberry pancakes with this peanutbutter syrup this morning. Delicious. It really is like a thinner version of the amazing sandwich spread I grew up with at home and school. Peanutbutter and karo must be a southern thing. I thought it was just us who did it, because most people I talk to have never heard of it. Thank god for the south.
