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’m totally going to have to try this topping soon! We love peanut butter in my house!
Happy birthday to your little boy! Mine turned one late last month, so I totally get the missing baby cuddles — and you have a four year old boy like me, too! Aren’t they fun (and a bit crazy?) 🙂 Anyways,I just tagged you in a writing meme: https://cookingmisadventures.wordpress.com/2011/04/15/not-my-typical-post-just-a-little-handwriting-meme/ No worries about following through — Just think it’s fun to learn a little bit more about the bloggers I admire. Have a great weekend! ~ Courtney

Happy B-Day to the Little Bit! What better way to celebrate a milestone like that than with some yummy peanie butter covered ice cream. I like the way your mind works 🙂 Thanks so much for sharing!
Gorgeous…and so simple! I’m betting this would be delish on top of pancakes with some sliced bananas…mmm! Love PB as well…
Happy First Birthday to your little boy!! 🙂 I may need to try your dads remedy for hiccups, every time I laugh I get them. And, if the peanut butter doesn’t work then well, its an excuse to eat a tablespoon of peanut butter!
This topping looks sooo good. Wishing I had a bowl of vanilla ice cream and this!
Yum!!!! I love eveyrthing about this post – chocolate, peanut butter, ice cream. It all looks delicious!

My son will be in heaven when I make this for him, this is awesome thanks so much for the recipe!
Peanut butter and condensed milk on ice cream? How haven’t I thought of this yet? I live in a seriously peanut butter loving household, I’m sure if I show this recipe to boyfriend some ice cream and condensed milk will mysteriously appear in our shopping basket tomorrow.
My husband absolutely loves peanut butter! If it can stop hiccups, I wonder if it could stop his snoring? :). This sauce looks incredible. Thanks for sharing!
Happy Birthday to your little one Katrina! I’m a fellow peanut butter lover, so I’m loving this recipe. I have a feeling it’s going to be a hit at my house.
