Tips
-
For a creamier texture, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of butter when heating peanut butter and condensed milk.
-
Mix in chocolate chips, nuts, or a swirl of melted chocolate for variation.
-
Make sure to stir constantly while heating, otherwise the mixture may scorch.
If you want, I can also give a no-bake microwave version that takes under 10 minutes.
