Liked this with apples, but really liked it on graham crackers topped with bananas! -
I scaled this down to 6 caramels which gave me about 4 tbs worth of dip. After having tasted this divine concoction however I wish I had made more, much more. lol Its sooo creamy, sweet and addictive. YUM! I can see this used in many different ways: on top of ice-cream, swirled into a cake, layered into a trifle, used to fill thumb print cookies and so on. Its so easy to make and plain yummy, Ill make this again and again for sure. <br/>All I had on hand was buttermilk so I used that and it was a nice contrast to the sweet caramel. My pb was all natural.<br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this winner with us, Paula! Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap November 2011. -
Made this dip for one or the monthly groups I host & it was great ~ Easy prep & tasty, too! I did chop the peanuts pretty well & then added them to the dip before setting it out! Sinfully delicious & definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Made & reviewed as a recipenap in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #36] -
What an excellant recipe Paula. This quick and easy to make dip was great. It was rich, creamy, thick, sweet and very flavorful. Its lovely caramel texture was perfect served with empire and granny smith apple slices, chunks of bananas, large sweet strawberries and hazelnut cookies. I can't wait to try this dip with large marshmallows, pineapple wedges and ice cream. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful treat. -
I made this last night for Halloween! My kids love caramel dip with apples so I wanted to try this out on them to see how they would like the peanut butter.....it was great! What an easy recipe! Thanks! I will make again for sure. Oh, and I DID use a little lemon juice for the apples too.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
