Peanut Butter Dip -Oven or Little Dipper Crock Pot

This Peanut Butter Dip is a nice treat that can be served with anything from apples and celery, to pretzels and graham crackers for dipping. Actually, bagel chips might be really good too... The recipe was written up for the Little Dipper Crock Pot, but since not everyone has one, I made this batch in the oven and it turned out just fine. The main difference, the slow cooker will keep it warm longer, but then, it might not last long enough to worry about that anyway:@) This is a little thicker than the average dip, yet more dippable than peanut butter. I might stir in one last splash of cream next time.

I used my 5" LeCreuset square baking dish.

Peanut Butter Dip-from A Year of Slow Cooking

3/4 C smooth peanut butter

1/4 C brown sugar-I added 2 Tblsp

1/4 C cream or half and half

1 tsp vanilla

4 regular size marshmallows

Anything you'd like to dip that goes with peanut butter.

Oven: 

• Place in baking dish big enough to hold everything, yet shallow enough for dipping. Cover with foil, bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil stir, return to oven until marshmallows have melted enough to incorporate, maybe 10-15 minutes more. Stir well and serve.

Little Dipper Crock Pot:

• Add everything, cover, heat for one hour, or until everything melts and can be stirred together.

Have a sticky sweet happy day:@)
