My Better Half bought some for my birthday and I have been savoring it ever since. It's a bit pricey for my liking and with 6 of us around here it won't last long. So I searched for a recipe and low and behold...Amish Peanut Butter Spread.
Here's a yummy recipe or you can print it out here:
Amish Peanut Butter Spread
3 1/2 ounces Marshmallow Cream
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon maple flavoring
Pinch of salt
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix thoroughly.
This is absolutely faboo! It's great to spread on crackers, toast, homemade bread, rolls, or just stealing a snack on your finger.
It would also make a wonderful Christmas gift, packaged nicely and tied with a pretty bow.
Enjoy!
Blessings,

Yum, that looks scrumptious! I'm not sure where I'd find corn syrup in the UK but I do have happy memories of making something similar as a child so will have to search out my UK recipe.

ReplyDeleteOh, that looks so good! I'll have to make some. But, um, how 'bout sending over some of that bread you got there? THAT looks yummier! Did you make it?

ReplyDeleteWe live near Amish country and now I know the secret to our favorite restaurants peanut butter spread! Yippie! Now if I can only figure out how to grow their spendy Amish popcorn, I'd be set in snacks!
ReplyDeleteWe also live in an Amish community - and I've always wondered what their peanut butter stuff tasted like! I can't wait to try this!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds wonderful! I'll have to give it a try. I'm sure my grandchildren will love it.

that looks so yummy and smooth I'd love it if you would add them to my What We Wore and Made link party over at http://raegunwear.blogspot.com/search/label/WWWMW
ReplyDeleteOooh, this brings back memories of my growing-up-in-an-amish-community days. Except the peeps in that particular community always made it with sorghum instead of corn syrup.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd like yours better though :)
It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteSounds so good! Great gift idea. I'm here from Things I Love Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really good! I'd love for you to link your post up at my Friday Favorites party. This week is a special Holly Bloggy Christmas edition!

ReplyDeleteI live in Amish Country Ohio. They serve that peanut butter spread a lot here.

Carrie -- I am wondering where you live.. My last name is Yoder and my husband's (Amish) family is in Holmes County, Ohio. His father did not join the Amish church, so my husband's immediate family is NOT Amish, but I get asked that question just because of our last name! I look down at my jeans, t-shirt, & Crocs, and with a straight face, say "Why, yes, I am." Hahaha! My daughter, who works at a school in Akron, OH, tells people to go look for her buggy parked outside when they ask her that!
ReplyDeleteI have eaten this concoction many times in restaurants and even made it once. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds yummy! Could you tell us the shelf life for this?
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Melissa
Melissa,
ReplyDeleteI wish I could give you a shelf life answer...I really don't know. I would suggest that because it has the ingredients that it does...PB, marshmallow cream, and corn syrup that its shelf life would be similar to those products after they have been opened.
Nothing lasts very long in this house with teenage boys, so shelf life is rarely tested!!
This looks really good but I'd be leery of using corn syrup in such quantity. Wouldn't an authentic Amish recipe use something like sugar?

ReplyDeleteyum. I love peanut butter out of the jar, peanut butter and fluff sandwiches...anything with peanut butter, really. So yeah--yum. This sounds amazing.
Could you please tell me how you store this and what is the shelf life,.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteI store this in a Mason jar at room temperature. I wish I could give you a shelf life answer...I really don't know. I would suggest that because it has the ingredients that it does...PB, marshmallow cream, and corn syrup that its shelf life would be similar to those products after they have been opened.

Hi, I'm your newest follower. Found you on Homemaker on a Dime's Creative Blogger's Party & Hop. This recipe reminds me of something my Mom used to make us, we just called it mixup, peanut butter, karo syrup and softened butter. Just mix it all up and dip toast in it.
