Steps On How To Make Dairy Queen Peanut Butter Sauce 

1. Gather the ingredients:1 cup smooth peanut butter
   • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
   • 2 cups powdered sugar
   • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2. Melt the butter: In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter [1] over low heat until completely melted.
3. Add peanut butter: Add the smooth peanut butter to the saucepan once the butter has melted. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Incorporate powdered sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the saucepan, whisking it in until fully dissolved and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. This will add a delightful aromatic note to the sauce.
6. Let it cool: Allow the peanut butter sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. This will help it thicken further as it cools.
7. Storage: Place the container with the sauce in the refrigerator, where it will keep well for up to two weeks.
8. Reheat and enjoy: When ready to enjoy the peanut butter sauce, gently reheat it on low heat, stirring until smooth and luscious. Drizzle it over ice cream, use it as a dip, or get creative with your favorite desserts.
