Peanut Butter Fruit Dip Ingredients

- Add a splash of vanilla extract for even more delicious fragrance and flavor. You can even make your own homemade vanilla!
- Top with shaved chocolate, nuts, or a drizzle of salted caramel sauce.

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!
