    • Whipped Peanut Butter

    Whipped fluffy peanut butter takes regular peanut butter to new heights. Starting with regular creamy peanut butter as the base, powdered sugar is added to lend a touch of sweetness.

    The process of whipping the ingredients together is what turns this delicious recipe into a peanut butter mousse. It's a great option to stir into hot chocolate, spread over chocolate cake, or top ice cream or fresh fruit.
