    Someone posted today about dark chocolate peanut butter dreams!! Yummy!! They also have white chocolate and cinnamon raisin, among other yummy goodies. Google it - I found the jars at my local Kroger/King Soopers. They also have to-go squeezable packs that look great for on the go. I like it on low fat graham crackers, or nilla wafers, or even apples!!! YUMMY YUMMY PEANUT BUTTER!!

    When I'm feeling really decadent, I'll spread a tablespoon on a dark chocolate cherry granola bar (Kashi brand). Mmm... peanut butter... I have days where I'll eat it right off the spoon.

    Have you ever tried melting the pb in the microwave? It makes it even more decadent for apple dipping! It also makes the pb go further so that you do not need as much. I think that pb is the ultimate comfort food!:drinker:

    Oh snap...! In my 90 days of calorie counting I haven't touched my dear old friend peanut butter. Away, foul temptress! haha :P

    Me and my nephew made microwave smores over the weekend. We used dark chocolate and I put pb on mine :-)

    A bit weird but kinda addictive...I have mixed organic unsweetened peanut butter with rice vineger and chili paste and added to noodles or used as a coating for chicken wings...

    I can't buy regular peanut butter (ie Peter Pan, Skippy) anymore because I love it so much....I'll eat the whole jar in one day. I have to buy the freshly ground stuff that's not as sweet.

    I make strawberry jam every year. nI the morning with my Ice Tea no sugar, I would have it on toast with my jam. Since I have joined this site I have stopped and now am eating oatmeal.

    I would also peel back a banana and put peanut butter on that which is really good.

    I love peanut butter! With chocolate is my FAV but I have had to mend my ways and switch to bananas : ) Honestly I could just spoon it right out of the jar and into the ole kisser! My favorite peanut butter is the natural kind you have to stir!

    I've been a peanut butter junkie all my life...I too would basically eat it on anything. I like to spread it on a toasted lite english muffin and drizzle honey on top. Yummy!

    Hey!
    I too LOVE peanut butter - it's not always so friendly when you are trying to count calories and lose weight though ..so I wanted to mention the great peanut butter alternative I found at Trader Joe's. It's called Better n Peanut Butter.
    It REALLY low in calories/ fat - 2 TBSP is a serving ...and it tastes GREAT. It's sweet ...but still satisfying that peanut butter craving.

    I like to take mine and put in on the whole wheat deli thins!

    My favorite breakfast is a whole grain waffle, 1 Tbls low-fat peanut butter, and a sliced up banana. Yum!

    When I was doing weight watchers a few years ago they talked about a low fat powder form of peanut butter. I never looked it up. Has anyone heard of it or tried it?

    Peter Pan Honey Roasted Creamy spread on a small whole grain tortilla, take 1/2 of a granny smith apple sliced into slivers place on the tortilla and fold into a roll and enjoy.

    Trader Joe's has a peanut butter (Better'n Peanut Butter for around $3) that is 100 calories, 2g fat and 2 g fiber. It tastes really good - close to the real stuff.

    Not a good diet choice...but an occasional splurge is a PB and Dorito sandwich....

    But otherwise PB on low fat cinnamon gram crackers, PB and pretzels, PB and baked Tositos, PB mixed into oatmeal. PB has to be the most versatile food ever!

    Yeah, why does that sound good? I need to try it now.

    The Better'n Peanut Butter is only 2 points on Weight Watchers. My friend ate it all the time and she found it at CVS and saved her from driving 40 miles to Trader Joes. I think it must be made from the powder you were talking about. It's pricey but when you only eat a few tablespoons at a time, it really lasts.
