Peanut Butter Fruit Dip Ingredients

  • Peanut Butter – Crunchy or creamy, your choice – but we generally use smooth! Learn how to make peanut butter here.
  • Powdered Sugar – Also known as confectioner’s sugar, it sweetens the dip while maintaining a creamy texture. If you don’t have any on hand, you can pulse white granulated sugar in a food processor until fine and fluffy.
  • Milk – Anything from skim milk to heavy cream works well.

    It looks so delicious and seems quite easy to make. I’m sure that this will make children love fruits more. Thank you for sharing!

  2. Hi Julie – Love this recipe –
    I would try it with the new Sunbutter – made up here in Fargo, ND – It has become a great favorite now at schools, due to allergies becoming so prevalent.
    I have to share the story of the company and their long perseverance to create their product and such devotion to providing an alternative. They have grown now to the point where schools are using it daily to their lunch menus, here is their website, for an FYI – and you never know you might find some interesting fun recipes to try and write about too!
