In case you didn’t know, my family is made up of a bunch of peanut butter fanatics. So on National Peanut Butter Day each year, I drop what I am doing and rush into the kitchen to mix up a batch of this delicious peanut butter syrup. It’s basically sweet peanut butter bliss, I tell ya! Here’s the recipe to show you how easy it is to make and some of the many uses for it. When I say it takes just 1 minute, I mean it.
This very versatile recipe has a simple formula: 1 part peanut butter to 2 parts syrup. The syrup I’m using in this post is honey but you can also use pure maple syrup, Karo syrup (corn syrup), or even pancake syrup in its place. Thick, creamy, sweet, and rich, your pancakes, waffles, or ice cream sundae will never be the same again. Once you try this peanut butter syrup recipe, I just know you’ll make it again and again. It’s the most decadent way to get your peanut butter fix.
Some other delicious dessert sauces you might like to try include dulce de leche for caramel lovers, Mama’s custard sauce, and my pecan praline sauce.

- Honey (or syrup of your choice)
How to Make Peanut Butter Syrup in 1 Minute
Place peanut butter and honey (or whatever syrup you’re using) in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup.
Heat for 30 seconds in your microwave, then stir. Heat for 30 seconds more and stir until smooth and creamy.
That’s it, you’re done! Enjoy your peanut butter syrup!
Serving Suggestions
This is excellent served over vanilla ice cream…
But it’s also the perfect way to make scrumptious butter pancakes.
Be sure to try it for breakfast on homemade biscuits, waffles, French toast, or regular toast.
It’s a fantastic warm dessert topping too. Drizzle your peanut butter sauce over a slice of pound cake, cheesecake, bread pudding, brownies, or cookies. If all else fails, just eat it with a spoon!

Storage
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to store mine in a mason jar, as above.
Recipe Notes
I recommend using creamy peanut butter in this recipe. Natural peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter don’t microwave as well, so the syrup consistency won’t be as smooth.

What great memories this recipe has brought back!!! As kids, my brothers & I would mix peanut butter & syrup together & just dip toast, plain bread, pancakes, biscuits, or whatever we could find in it!! A childhood staple!
I grew up eating peanut butter and dark karo syrup! I am from New Mexico and we always put it on tortillas or bread! 🙂
This sounds so yummy!
I hope you get to try it soon Mary!
I guess my Mom had southern roots deep down, because we grew up in Michigan, and ate this by the spoon. Now I use it on pancakes and waffles. YUM YUM.
When I was a child, my school had peanut butter/syrup sandwiches on Fridays. I thought they were delicious back then and I still do. I tried to duplicate them but I have never been able to get the same taste. I think I’m using a different syrup than they did.
Our school had those too Mary, and usually served them on the day we had Chili. I love them!!
When I was a little kid, my friend and I used to mix peanut butter, syrup, and butter, to make a spread we put on pancakes. That was before microwaves were common, so we would just stir it all up. I hadn’t thought of that in ages!
I think “Kat” might be a blogger who hasn’t had the success that you have and might be a tad bit jealous..sour grapes..Hmm! I agree, if you don’t like the website..go elsewhere and be happy..no need to be rude. Shows a lack of class & manners! Something that Christy has LOTS of! Love your site, Christy!
