Peanut butter is basically your PBFF (peanut butter friend forever). If you're anything like me, your jar of peanut butter is always there for you when you're sad from a bad day of class or when you're as ecstatic as you can be while binge watching Game of Thrones. You put peanut butter on literally everything, you love it so much. But what if you want to step up your peanut butter game? What if you want to drizzle it on ice cream or brownies? We got you, fam. I've perfected the technique, and this is how to melt peanut butter perfectly.
You can look up multiple ways to melt peanut butter, but sometimes you just don't have time to use a stove or have the energy to whisk it until your peanut butter becomes liquid. Taste Insight explains that you can just throw your peanut butter into the microwave to make it melty. All it takes is a few steps, and it is really similar to melting chocolate.

First, place your desired amount of peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. You can check to see if your bowl is microwave-safe by looking for the appropriate Tupperware symbol on the bottom of the bowl.
