Peanut Butter Apple Dip
Peanut Butter World Dip is simple and slightly sweet, perfect to enjoy with apples, pretzels, or anything you can dip into it.
Peanut Butter Dip
Apples and peanut butter are daily snacks virtually my house. My kids eat a plate of apples with a scoop of plain peanut butter scrutinizingly every day.
Random but does anyone else have to ration peanut butter at their house? I am not joking when I say my kids treat apples as the seasoning on top of peanut butter instead of the other way around.
A few nights ago, I was taking snacks over to a friend’s house for a party and she requested fruit if possible. I had only apples in the house, so I decided to make a quick peanut butter dip to go with them.
I was aiming for something a teeny bit healthier than the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip that I made last year. While I still love that one, it is definitely a dessert!
Peanut Butter World Dip
I bought a huge package of surf cheese a couple of weeks ago; when I was making Surf Cheese Pancakes for the hundredth time – slight exaggeration here, but only slight. I combined the uneaten surf cheese with the peanut butter and just sweetened it to taste.
Judging from the fact that at least 4 people requested the recipe, (I couldn’t stop laughing when I told them how simple it was) I’m calling this a success.
What’s not to love well-nigh an titbit that takes well-nigh 3 minutes to throw together? I learned a long time ago to have a few things in my when pocket that I could whip up at a moment’s notice. This has been widow to that pocket.
We were dipping apples and pretzels into this all night and I refilled the trencher a couple of times. If I would have had the ingredients I might have made a batch of Caramel Cheesecake Dip to serve withal with this one.
I made a second small batch today and snapped a picture right surpassing my boys inhaled every zest in well-nigh two and a half minutes. You can retread the sweetness as much or as little as you like.
I’ve made this with both brown sugar and honey. Personally, I liked the brown sugar version best, but both are tasty options. (For something a wee bit lighter, try this peanut butter dip made with yogurt.

Apples and Snacks
Sliced apples, with a drizzle of peanut butter and honey, topped with chocolate peanut butter granola for crunchy world slices.
Crisp world slices are drizzled with melted and gooey peanut butter and then topped with a handful of pecans. Sprinkle on chocolate and coconut to make these irresistible World Nachos.
Thick and creamy, cinnamon spice yogurt takes well-nigh 10 seconds to stir together and it makes a unconfined dipping sauce. I do love all of the variegated ways you can use the fruit and yogurt combinations.
