Peanut Butter

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Scoop Ice Cream: In individual serving bowls, scoop 1 cup of chocolate ice cream each to create the base of the sundae.
  2. Add Peanut Butter: Drizzle creamy peanut butter evenly over the top of the ice cream for a rich, nutty layer of flavor.
  3. Drizzle Hot Fudge Sauce: Pour hot fudge sauce over the peanut butter and ice cream, allowing it to cascade and add a chocolatey richness.
  4. Top with Chopped Peanut Butter Cups: Sprinkle chopped peanut butter cups over the sundae to introduce a delightful crunch and extra peanut butter goodness.
  5. Add Whipped Cream and Optional Peanuts: Finish by adding a generous dollop of whipped cream on top, and sprinkle chopped peanuts if desired for added texture and taste.

Notes

  • You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer more texture in the drizzle.
  • For a healthier twist, opt for low-fat ice cream or frozen yogurt.
  • Warm the peanut butter slightly if it’s too thick for drizzling.
  • Substitute peanut butter cups with other chocolate candies according to your preference.
  • Store leftover components separately to maintain freshness before serving.
