- Fold peanut butter and marshmallow creme into the cooled water and brown sugar mixture, then mix well until smooth and creamy.
- You can refrigerate the spread in order for it to last longer, however it will solidify a little in the fridge. It can also be kept at room temperature if it is consumed within 7 days.
