Ingredients
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
0.75 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup light corn syrup
0.25 cup butter
0.5 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the heavy cream, cocoa powder, brown sugar, and corn syrup until fully combined and bubbling.
2. Reduce heat to low and add butter and peanut butter. Stir continuously until smooth and melted.
3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Sauce will thicken slightly as it cools.
4. Serve warm over desserts or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat before serving.
Notes
Use processed peanut butter for a thicker texture.
Add a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor contrast.
Reheat with a splash of cream to loosen the sauce if too thick.
