Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the temperature of the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it's ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, or it will become too hard and brittle.
  • If you don't have a marble slab, you can use a large baking sheet instead. Just make sure to grease it well so the peanut butter crunch doesn't stick.
  • Store the peanut butter crunch in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter crunch is a delicious and versatile topping that can be used on a variety of desserts, from ice cream to pies. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a sweet and crunchy topping, give peanut butter crunch a try!
