Amish Peanut Butter Church Spread
This traditional Amish peanut butter church spread is a beloved Pennsylvania Dutch favorite often served at Amish church suppers and community meals. Made with creamy peanut butter, marshmallow creme, and sweet syrup, it creates a smooth, fluffy spread that is perfect for slathering on homemade bread, dinner rolls, and fresh-baked buns.
