- 1 1/3 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional add-ins: raisins, peanuts, coconut
Instructions:
-
Heat sugar and corn syrup: In a large saucepan, heat the sugar and corn syrup over medium heat until the mixture reaches a boil. Stir occasionally to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved.
