Yes, yes I know I need to stop posting berry recipes and start posting pumpkin recipes soon. But I posted this full-of-fall apple cake recipe in the summer, so doesn’t that buy me at least a few summery recipes in the fall? Or does that just make me seasonally confused?
Soon my passion for pumpkin will hit. For now we strawberry dip. I took the ever-so-elegant chocolate covered strawberry and combined it with the craveable-in-a-candy-cup combo of chocolate and peanut butter. Or watch the video and hear an even better description…
There are a plethora of powdered peanut butter (or ppb) products to choose from these days. The classic PB2. The coconut sugar sweetened Just Great Stuff stuff, which I love. And the Crazy Richards Pure PB, which I love for baking because it is unsweetened, so you can use the sweetener of your choosing. I used the Crazy Richards Pure PB in this recipe, and sweetened with maple syrup. If you use the PB2 or a sweetened once, then just leave out the sweetener and add more non-dairy milk.
And if you are unfortunate enough to have some of the chocolate PB dip leftover, it happens to taste pretty amazing dolloped and frozen into little fudgey bites. But don’t freeze too long or they will be not-so-fudgey rocks. Or swirl it into nicecream. Dollop it on top of oatmeal. Dip into it with a banana. It’s chocolate and peanut butter for goodness sake, just eat it!

“Soon my passion for pumpkin will hit. For now we strawberry dip.” Food rhyming is going to catch on….with both of us, it’s gana happen 😉
Are those little white chia chokes I see on those red blossoms of love? Chocolate covered strawbs are total Valentine’s day for me, but adding chia to them….and whomever you give them too….not so love-filled…more like kill-filled 😉 BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Anyway…..delish amazing!!! I want a bowl filled with these now!!! xoxoxo
Food rhymes and orbs, that’s what we’re all about 😉 And perhaps it will catch on or perhaps it will just be our signature quirky style! Your chia chokes sentence is pure poetry too, even if it doesn’t rhyme <3 Free verse. And now you know my evil Valentines plot. I thought posting it in September would throw you off my case, but you discovered my plan anyways!!! AHHHH!!!! Lol We're crazy 😀 haha And I love it! xoxoxo
Oh these look so amazing, Natalie!! 🙂 And you used peanut butter!! YUM! . I just watched your video and absolutely love it! 🙂
Thanks Sina! Peanut butter just makes all things better. Life in general needs PB 🙂 haha
I just want to cover everything in this chocolate pb dip! I’m thinking apples would be really delish. Maybe with a sprinkle of cacao nibs on top!
Mmmmm yes! I like your idea, very snack-perfect! Like those little apple slices with the center cut out that people call apple donuts…that would be perfect <3 Spoons covered in this stuff are pretty epic too 😉
Ohhhh yummy! These look like a super-delicious treat! I haven’t tried powdered PB yet but now I think I have to get myself a jar 😉
Thanks Mel! The powdered pb is nowhere near as good for eating or dipping, but for baking it’s great! Plus now it’s super easy to find too, just about every grocery store has it 🙂
Natalie, I loved your video! These look so gorgeous and delicious! I love your healthy peanut butter chocolate dip. I really need to get my hands on some of that peanut butter powder, love that it’s not sweetened! Very pretty recipe and would be so great at a party!
Ooh yeah, like at a Valentine’s Day party would be perfect! The PB powder is great for actual baked things like cookies to use as part of the dry ingredients and make it extra peanutty…and for no bake things like this 🙂 I’m not the biggest fan of PB2, so I’m glad there are other alternatives out there now. I was buying real peanut butter yesterday, staring at all the options, not really having a go-to brand.. So I ended up going with the Santa Cruz stuff because I remembered reading that recommendation in your PB ice cream, so thanks for that! Love the simple ingredients 🙂
Just finished watching the video..,I wanted to reach into the screen and steal a spoonful or two of that chocolate PB dip! ? I had to laugh a little when you said you didn’t get pics of the berries at the end…I can see why. I would have devoured them so fast before any pics could be taken! The texture looks heavenly. I need to get my hands on some of that crazy Richards powder PB…haven’t seen it before. I know Willow will LOVE this! ❤️
Oh I know, waiting till after photography is done to devour is so hard sometimes! And in this case it got kinda cloudy so I had to wait even longer, and well eventually I decided getting video footage was less important than the crucial job of taste testing 😉 The Crazy Richards has been showing up everywhere lately around here, it’s like it’s stalking me! Every store I go to, there it is. Even non-health food stores, so I hope you can find it!
Yum yum! This would be a perfect platter to bring to parties. And by that i mean it would be a perfect platter to bring on the WAY to the party, so i could eat them all before i arrive. hehe
Hahahaha I love the way you think!!! 🙂
Your last paragraph made me think of “If I had a little hammer… ” <<< sub pb chocolate sauce for hammer. I'd use it in the morning. I'd use it in the evening. All over my fruit! Ok, I'll spare you the rest of the cheesy lyrics 😀 Or I can keep going.. Nah. I'll stop. This looks delicious! And I love that you managed to make an oil-free chocolate sauce. That's super impressive! And Justin's is my favorite pb powder ever <3
Bahahahaha!!!! I haven’t thought of that song in so long 😀 lol You didn’t need to write out the rest, my head took care of that! Thanks Audrey, I don’t have any clue how to make non-pb chocolate covered strawberries oil-free, but the peanut powder really makes it work 🙂 And wait Justin’s makes PB powder!?!
Oh, boy. I meant to type Just Great Stuff… haha. Have no idea how Justin’s snuck in there… !
Oh yes that’s my fave too <3
The mini whisk is so cute! I love the recipe – it’s so easy to make. And another great use for peanut butter powder 🙂 Yeay!
Thanks Bianca 🙂 I love that little whisk, it’s actually one of my most used kitchen utensils! Great for making just a single serving of salad dressing on a whim too!
Mmmmm yum, these are stunning Natalie! Chocolate and berries are the best combination! Nothing beats chocolate covered strawberries! The peanut addition makes them even more amazing! Love it Natalie <3

Thank you Harriet! If there is chocolate involved, peanut butter can only make things better right? 😉
Peanut butter just makes everything better, doesn’t it? These look great! And I love all the ideas for the leftover dip. I’m thinking I need the dip just for my morning oats ?
Ooh yes!! A big dollop on top of oats would be amazing <3 I want to try that too now, thanks Melissa!
