8 Peanut Butter Dessert Recipes

Guess what day it is?! Happy National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day! Besides a simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich, one of my favorite ways to enjoy peanut butter is in dessert. That’s right, peanut butter dessert recipes. Major yum factor. Peanut butter has a great way of adding so much flavor to a simple dessert recipe. We almost always have a large jar of peanut butter in our house because it is such a great snack.

When I was pregnant with my son, I often found myself grabbing a big spoon and digging into the nearest jar of peanut butter. I quickly realized that the spoonful was exactly what I needed to give me a little extra boost of energy. Plus, the flavor just couldn’t be beat. To this day, whenever I make my two-year-old a peanut butter-filled snack, I can’t help but lick the spoon. Who else can relate?

From spreading peanut butter onto waffles to adding a dollop to a dessert recipe, by having such a versatile ingredient in the house, it’s easy to whip up a tasty treat that the whole family will love.
