Peanut Butter Ice Cream Topping
My baby boy turned 1 today. It’s so very exciting to see him growing and learning new things every day. Growing up is bittersweet in my eyes though. I’m happy that he is starting to walk and talk but sad that he isn’t content to cuddle and coo at me for hours. I remember when Four Year Old Foodie would ONLY take naps in my arms or in the arms of my husband. *sigh* This time goes so quickly and life is uncertain so I try to cherish every moment. One thing I am most certain will never change however is my love of peanut butter.I blame my dad for this obsession. You see, when I was a child my dad always offered a spoonful of peanut butter as a remedy for hiccups. If you think that’s weird then you will think it is even more bizarre that it really works! Well, it worked for me anyway. When I was in high school my (now) husband thought this remedy was absurd and that it was “all in my head” so I decided to put it to the test. The next time I got the hiccups instead of taking a spoonful of peanut butter I simply opened the jar and took a deep sniff. Turns out he was right- even just the smell of peanut butter told my mind it was time to stop hiccuping.
Just to be clear I reverted back to my spoonful remedy anyway.
For me the only way you could make peanut butter better is by making it easier to spoon out and drizzle on whatever is close by. This peanut butter topping is perfect for hiccups, ice cream, brownies, or whatever you have on hand. You could make a killer peanut butter milkshake with this stuff. Are you a chocolate-lover or do you prefer vanilla? The good news is that peanut butter goes with EVERYTHING!

I made this recently and it’s delicious! Mine looks so much thicker than your pictures. It wouldn’t pour very well.
Can I use evaporated milk instead, cause that is all I have on hand, and will it work for the peanut butter sauce????
This is awesome! Now I can make my peanut butter bash I would get at Dairy Queen. So easy to make too!
Hi thank you for making the peanut butter topping….I love peanut butter and have always enjoyed Friendly’s but I can make it myself…..Posted on my blog
the wednesdaybaker.blogspot.com thanks for a great recipe… Andi
Just made this too and it’s delicious! I live in Russia and I’m going to take this to work tomorrow for an ice cream social. This is going to blow peoples’ minds!
Sweet! I seriously need to make this again now that you say it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by
Just made this, came out yummy, should let it sit a few minutes to let it thicken up a little bit. Thanks for sharing (:
i did not have any condensed milk so i tried it with regular milk and some sugar and it came out great! thank you so much for the idea… dairy queen has this but its much cheaper to make your own 🙂
SO, so incredible perfect, I have an extreme obsession with peanut butter!
Katrina! I made this tonight and I tasted some. It was so good. I tasted a little bit more to make sure it was just right. I have been so good, but I just couldn’t stop myself from licking the spoon. I won’t tell you what happened to my nursing baby because of it, but I’ll just say, he’s going to be on his $50.00 formula for a couple days….and it was totally worth it. I’m a horrible mother. When I post about this I think I might change the name to have to do with how much those three bites cost me. 😉 Again, totally worth it – I feel like Rapunzel in Tangled, I’m so conflicted with my choice to eat it.
Oh my gosh! Uhm, yum. I have a team full of track girls who would kill for this… I don’t know why, but we’re all addicted to peanut butter! My theory is that running makes your body crave something that peanut butter has… I’ll have to make this!!
I’d eat this on ice cream, cookies, cake, you name it!
This is such a wonderful idea! I am definitely trying it 🙂 And happy birthday to your son!
Happy 1st birthday to your little boy Katrina. I was so hoping to see some photos of the celebration, you must share – please! I so miss that age and I agree time flies by so quickly, my two are 17 and 19 and honestly I don’t know where the time has gone. Seems like only yesterday that I was cuddling them in my arms. I’m sure you’ve enjoyed the wonderful year of firsts. I ca’t wait to try your peanut butter next time the hiccups come on.
You are a genius, I’ve never once thought to make a peanut butter sauce for ice cream but it sounds absolutely delicious. Putting it on my must try list. My kids will love you for this one.
Oh man!!!! I don’t think it would make it to ice cream…i would just drink it. Fabulous photos. 😉
Ooooh Girl!! You are so wicked…LOL. I got my love of peanut butter from my Mom. Love your Dad’s trick for curing hiccups – that’s a darn good idea!!
This really looks so good-you know I got it bookmarked!
This sounds so tasty!Your ice cream topping .. yummy..
I wish your little sweet boy Happy B-day!!!
