PEANUT BUTTER FONDUE

I have always wondered what to use my lil’ dipper crock pots for. They have always seem too little for anything. But then again I have always had a lot of people around to feed so dips and fondues were always done in a big crock pot. Not anymore it’s usually just the three of us so I had come across a few recipes for fondues in the crock pot. This one sounded really interesting.  I had everything on hand except the half and half so I substituted it with some white chocolate mocha coffee creamer. I figured it was only a ¼ of a cup and that it might add a little more flavor to it. I was not disappointed. It was awesome. I cut up some apples and bananas and we had a little feast. It was warm, sweet, and very creamy with just the right consistency for dipping fruits, butter cookies, or even more marshmallows. I think this would be a big hit as a quick and somewhat healthy afternoon snack or even an after dinner dessert. Just be sure to double the recipe and use a bigger crock pot if you’re having company because it goes real quick.

 

INGREDIENTS:                                                                                            

¾ cup of peanut butter
¼ cup of brown sugar
¼ cup of half and half
1 tsp. of vanilla crock pot
4 large or a handful of mini marshmallows

DIRECTIONS:     

Spray the crock pot lil’ dipper with PAM. Put in all the ingredients in the pot and stir. Do not cover with the plastic top. It will all melt together in about a hour. Give it a stir occasionally. After the marshmallows melt, serve with a variety of fruit if there is any left in the pot.
