Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Sauce

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"This is wicked on ice cream, and keeps up to a 7 days tightly covered in the fridge. If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the sugar slightly."

 

• Ready In: 8mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Yields: 2.5 cups (approx)

ingredients

• 236.59 ml water
• 473.18 ml sugar

• 118.29 ml creamy peanut butter

2. Whisk in cocoa powder and sugar; cook whisking constantly until the mixture forms bubbles around the edges of the pan.
3. Simmer until sauce thickens slighty, whisking constantly (this should take about 3-4 minutes).
4. Reduce heat to low and whisk in peanut butter; simmer until sauce thickens and is smooth (another 3 minutes longer).
5. Remove from heat and add in vanilla; cool slightly.

It's okay, but didn't live up to the reviews. needs more sweetness and is too thick.

This sounds scrummy and has the potential to become one of life's 'comfort' foods. How long will it keep in the fridge?
