Peanut butter is better than ice cream. It's incredibly healthy and absolutely delicious. It's the one food that when I start eating it by the spoon I have to fight like hell to stop myself. 10/10 my favorite food.
Feel free to share positive peanut butter related stories, how much you enjoy it, different things to do with it (recipe ideas and such) and absolutely anything about peanut butter you want to say.

Peanut Butter Ice Cream FTW
Duuuuude. I've still never tried it, this needs to change. I'll take a few spoon fulls of ice cream and stop myself no big deal; peanut butter I have to seriously tell myself "enough is enough"0 -

If I eat peanut butter, I will get extremely sick. It won't kill me, like it will many people. Ergo, it is NOT the greatest food on the planet.
Good food doesn't kill people.0 -

That sounds incredible.0 -
Tried cashew butter?0

I actually like almond butter a lot better than peanut butter! But peanut butter is heavenly.0

Never tried cashew butter or almond butter, never really liked cashews or almonds but I'll have to give them a go. I've recently grown an appreciation for walnuts as I've been making oatmeal with banana and walnuts in there, delicious as well, so I'd like to try walnut butter but it seems hard to find. I'll have to give these a shot as peanut butter is so good other nut butters are probably good as well.
I go for the Adam's Natural unsalted for salt-free peanut butter flavor. So good.0 -

Mmm, I love to mix vanilla ice cream and peanut butter together.0 -

I think it's high time we settled the debate once and for all.
Chunky >> creamy.
Discuss.0 -
One of my favorite treats is maple syrup and peanut butter mixed together. Sometimes on a pancake or waffle, sometimes on a spoon.
I've tried other nut butters and nothing even comes close to the deliciousness of peanut butter.0 -
I love all nut butters. Nut butter is love. My favorite peanut butter items are . . . PB&J, peanut butter frosting, peanut butter frozen yogurt.0

Chunky all the way.0 -
Nut butter is actually easy to make if you have the right tools! I bet you could make walnut butter. I use my food processor and let it run for a while until the nuts turn into butter. I've heard if it's too dry, you should add a little oil, but I've never had to do that.
Also, creamy all the way!0 -
Strangely enough I wasn't much of a fan until joining MFP. Now I can practically measure out 22 grams in my sleep. It's so great for adding fat & protein.0

I used to do that with pancakes and eggo waffles. Everyone I would talk to about that would look at me like I was crazy hahaha but both of those were killer together on pancakes and waffles.

I love peanut butter too- all kinds. I especially like the kind you grind at the store. I love that gritty texture.
Peanut butter is kind of like bacon. Add it and it makes everything better!0 -

I would like to agree with you, even though I handle PB allright.....but tongue in cheek, since this is obviously a very " american " thread, where some people forget that the rest of the world does not eat a US diet.
There are many, many countries where peanut butter does not figure in their diet at all. I have tried it ( after all the song and dance about it here on MFP ) find it cloying, don't like that it sticks to the roof of my mouth and does not go well with corn tortillas, which I consume every day in place of bread ( which is neither good nor varied in this country ) and because it uses up to many calories for ( in my case ) very little nutritional satisfaction.
For me a typical PB sandwich is pretty much the worst food I can imagine , mostly because of the bread that would typically be used and the aforementioned non-qualities of PB.....of course all very subjective.
For me it's not worth the equivalent of 5-6 dollars for a small jar of Jiffy from the imported food section, because there are healthier things I can eat for less money. I did however like the peanut sauce that comes with some Malaysian dishes, but won't pay an airplane ticket just to get to a place, where I like peanuts.....:o).
So foir me they are also not the greatest food on this planet.....

Peanut butter is one thing I find very hard to ration, but I DO enjoy it sparingly now and then. Creamy vs Chunky? Chunky is my choice.0

Are those machines easy to operate? I eye them with suspicion whenever I'm at Whole Paycheck. I'm convinced I'd be the chick spilling nuts all over the floor or something.

Sorry.
Cheesecake>Ice Cream> Peanut Butter0 -
Perfect timing for this thread! I just finished my meal planning for the week and I'm going to be making an Asian-inspired dish that calls for an ingredient I'd never heard of before - peanut butter powder. Anyone else ever tried/used this? My husband actually found it at the store. The label says to mix 2 tablespoons of powder with 1 tablespoon of water and stir. Calories for this amount is 45. Total fat 1.5g. If it is any good, I'm going to be in heaven!0

My brother hated peanut butter until about high school. I think it is an acquired taste for many. Although we had an exchange student once that tried it and brought home 4 jars!
My husband actually likes peanut butter with corn tortillas... Interesting we all have different tastes!0 -

Lol- look below the machine. They might have some containers already filled. I was always leery of those coffee grinding machines too but it always works out. Just make sure to read the instructions! Twice!
