Reviews
I’ve made it twice now and the first time exactly as directed. I loved it, but I used a bit more peanut butter and marshmallow creme because I love it so much. It was great. Thanks for a true Amish recipe.
It was really good. I did a little more peanut butter.
Fantastic, just like the stuff we buy/eat in Shipshewana. Thank you for the great base, next time ill add a bit of Medicine Flower Vanilla .
I visited my Sister in Wisconsin. We went to Door County and Amish Peanut Butter was sold there. I had never heard of Amish Peanut Butter before I bought a few jars and had them shipped home. I found this recipe when I got home to California. While this recipe is good, I find that there is just a little too much corn syrup called out. I cut back on the amount of Corn Syrup and added just a little more Peanut Butter. Overall my family really enjoyed this recipe and I will make again with my little variation of Corn Syrup and Peanut Butter.
My family and I usually also use maple syrup and butter and water but this was good too.
A farmer’s market in Door County sells this, but it contains maple flavoring and has a texture that doesn’t appeal to me. I much prefer this smooth, sweet spread. My son loves it on toast, but it would also be great with fruit.
I loved making this! I when to a restaurant and read the name on the bottle so I could make it. it tastes just like it. i’m definitely making this again!
Wonderful! Just like the Amish restaurants serve.
Fast, fabulous, and delicious! Thanks!
this was delicious! i didn’t have corn syrup so substituted 1 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water.
Mmmm supper yummy! I just made this and it turned out great. At first when I threw all of the ingredients in the bowl I thought “How am I going to stir this? They’re all different consistency’s.” Honestly, I thought I was going to make a mess but everything folded in just fine. It’s very creamy. I wouldn’t say sticky. Would I make this again? Ummm yeah!
This is a decent recipe. Simple, easy and quick. While I didn’t think it was too sweet and the marshmallow creme didn’t stand out, but the peanut butter was also very light. It’s a total go back and dip your finger in it again type of recipe, that you should totally watch 😉 But it spreads very quickly and all over the place if your not watching. And you’ll have a mess everywhere. I can see me making again and tweaking a bit to get it from being super runny to a more spreadable fashion. I think the amount of corn syrup is a bit overwhelming on the runny-ness factor. I did like the flavor but felt it needed to be increased on the peanut butter flavor. I think the corn syrup needs to be decreased and the peanut butter and marshmallow creme needs to be increased.
yummy! the kids eat this all up!
Delicious. But I blew the motor of my food processor on this because it’s so thick. We’re in Amish country too and this is a lot heavier on the corn syrup than what I’ve seen. I would add more peanut butter but I’m out. We’re putting it on crackers but I’m not letting anybody dip because the crackers will break.
I have bought similar ‘Peanut Butter Cream’ from many different Amish stores, and this one rates right up there too. We love this stuff, either on something or as a dip for apples, or even by itself on a spoon. I also enjoy the similar one made with molasses, though it has a slightly different name, peanut butter schmeare.
I live in Ohio and visit Amish country often. This stuff is sold at just about every authentic Amish restaurant and many roadside markets etc. You put it on bread folks — just like you would peanut butter or butter. They serve it with white and wheat dinner rolls before your meal comes. It’s a sweet spread you put on a roll, bagel, English muffin, whatever — instead of jam. It’s sweet; the Amish have a major sweet tooth. If you love peanut butter and you aren’t allergic to something that isn’t so good for you every now and again, this is going to ring your bell. Kids love it. My 42 year-old husband loves it. My 67 year-old mother loves it. It’s just a nice treat and interesting change from your basic jam/butter/PB and we never leave Amish country without a tub of it. Now we can make it every once in a while at home! I have asked the Amish women how this is made and they told me it has marshmallow cream and corn syrup so I know this recipe is right on.
I don’t know what to think of this stuff? But, I may also be the only person who has never tried it, that rated it on here. It really is good. The consistency if very different then I expected. It is super gooey yet sticky. I am not sure what to put it on either? It seems like it would be like putting a peanut butter dessert on toast? But, then again people eat honey and chocolate spreads for breakfast on bread. I did scale the recipe way down though, to about 1/4 cup, to try it. I bet kids would go crazy over this though!
in my family, we like to make fluff-a-nutter sandwiches with the spread. it goes great with soup and salad!
Could not be easier and makes delicious sandwiches. My kids LOVE this although I don’t make it all that often for health reasons. It’s a very nice treat once in awhile though.
This is fantastic. It takes only 5 minutes, and is WONDERFUL!
Wholly smokes, I don’t even like peanut butter!
