    I haven't done it in a long time, but I would smear it on just a Hershey bar and eat it. Dangerous.

    I remember, as a child, seeing my mother sitting on the couch and using a Hershey's bar to scoop peanut butter straight out of the jar. I'm terrified to even consider the amount of calories. LOL.

    And so the cycle continues. I bought some peanut butter because I need to up my fats (plus bonus fiber and protein), took a tiny taste, had to even the top out, did this a few times over the past few days, didn't log even a tiny gram of it.

    But, ironically, I'm more worried about the carbs than the calories.

    As a kid in a low-income home, my mother packed me a school lunch of a PBJ and some crackers. Every. Single. Day. For years. One of the main reasons I took a job in the school cafeteria, not for the pathetic pay check it generated, but because it included free hot meal every day. Say what you will about school food, after a decade of daily PBJ's, anything tasted terrific! Think I've eaten a PBJ twice in the three decades since, too.

    Not to say I dislike peanut butter! I do enjoy it on occasion, mostly in the form of a spoonful of crunchy straight from the jar on days I need a quick snack, or if I'm low on calories for the day. Reese's are a favorite candy of mine, fully realizing they don't use true PB, lol.

    Bake a batch of peanut butter cookies, however, and I will follow you around like a puppy.

    Inspired by somebody upthread, I microwaved half a serving of creamy peanut this morning and spread it on my chocolate pancakes, with some zero cal chocolate syrup.

    I may have a new food obsession.

    I was thinking “16 grams is awfully disappointing looking” but it was just enough to “butter” one end of a dozen pancakes….because I’m still rolling up my pancakes and eating them like Little Debbie’s. 😂.

    Helped at the beginning and still makes breakfast seem like a forbidden treat. 👍🏻
