Melt peanut butter chips for some recipes like peanut butter fudge cake.
Peanut butter chips can add the rich, creamy flavor of peanut butter to many dessert recipes. They tend to be sweeter than most plain peanut butters and offer a smooth consistency without chunks or graininess. You can include whole peanut butter chips in some dishes for bursts of peanut flavor. Depending on the recipe or dish you wish to create, however, you may need to melt the peanut butter chips to better mix them with the other ingredients. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Microwave
1. Put 1 cup of peanut butter chips into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tsp. shortening or ½ cup cream or condensed milk.
2. Microwave the bowl at 50 percent power for one minute, then remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the contents thoroughly. If there are only a few lumps, stir the melted chips for a few more seconds to see if the lumps melt. If not, or if there are more than a few lumps, return the bowl to the microwave for 15 seconds.
3. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir it again. If necessary, return it to the microwave for another 15 seconds. Repeat this process until the chips melt completely.
Stovetop
4. Put 1 cup of peanut butter chips into a heavy saucepan. Add ½ cup cream or condensed milk.
5. Put the saucepan on the stove over low heat.
6. Stir the mixture in the saucepan occasionally until the peanut butter chips melt and blend with the cream or condensed milk.
