You can melt peanut butter.

Peanut Butter can easily be melted in the microwave.

To melt the peanut butter place the peanut butter in the microwave, and heat it for 30 seconds.

Once the 30 seconds is up, stir the peanut butter to makes sure it's melting evenly.

Place the peanut butter back in the microwave for another 30 seconds, and stir again.

This will probably take a few rounds to get to your desired consistency.

As it cools, your melted peanut butter will begin to harden again, so make sure to use it while it's still warm.

If you've thinned the peanut butter with water, however, the mixture is unlikely to return to its original consistency because you have altered it beyond simply heating up the butter.

You do not have to add anything to thin peanut butter for a good drizzle.

The simplest way to drizzle peanut butter is to first melt it by heating.

Then, spoon it over by holding the spoon straight down and letting the peanut butter fall from the tip.

This takes a bit of practice but works well.

Peanut butter has more than 80% unsaturated fats in it, and at room temperature, it begins to liquefy.

The melting point of peanut butter also depends on the type of fats that are in it.

The melting point of peanut butter is about 110-120˚F.

If you're down to the bottom of a jar and the nut butter is dry and crumbly (you didn't store it upside down, huh?), a surefire way to give it life is by adding some oil.

Just put in a few drops of a neutral oil (like canola or peanut) and stir to get it all incorporated.
