Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup crushed salted peanuts
- 1 cup crisp rice cereal
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, light brown sugar, unsalted butter, and corn syrup over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Stir continuously with a heat-resistant spatula or wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt until well combined.
Step 4
Gently fold in the crushed salted peanuts and crisp rice cereal until evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture.
Step 5
Let the topping cool for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow it to thicken slightly.
Step 6
Drizzle the warm topping over ice cream, or let it cool completely for a thicker, more textured topping.
Step 7
Store any leftover topping in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Reheat gently if needed before serving.
