directions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Warm peanut butter for about 1 minute in the microwave. You want it warm enough so that it will soften and be easy to mix, but not so hot that it melt.
  • Combine warm peanut butter with mustard, sugar, salt, and ranch dressing and stir until it is smooth. Refrigerate mixture.
  • Slice bread into triangles and arrange on a cookie sheet. Lightly coat with olive oil and then toast in oven until golden brown or until it has reach a desired crunchiness (I personally prefer a soft crunch).
  • As soon as the bread is done, cut the garlic clove in half and rub it all over the toast. Or you could skip this or use granulated garlic but I find the clove rub just tastes better.
  • Arrange toast points in an aesthetically pleasing manner on a decorative plate. (Your family will appreciate the extra effort!).
  • Serve dip with the toasted bread, fruit, vegetables, and/or taquitos.

  1. As weird as it sounds, this dip is sooooo good !! I LOVED IT !! Very smooth and creamy, with a slightly spicy bite from the mustard. I think it would also be a great sub for mayo or mustard on a sandwich or wrap !!
