📝Reader Questions
Yes, you can use natural peanut butter. However, it can be a bit oilier, so stir it well before measuring.
The dip itself is gluten-free as long as your peanut butter and mix-ins are, too. Just be sure to serve it with gluten-free dippers!
This dip is also great with almond butter, sunflower butter, or other nut butter. I’d leave out the peanut butter cups, though.
