    Freakin' cookie butter. Also known as Biscoff cookie spread, but cookie butter just sounds better. I seriously eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar, which is why I don't buy it often.

    Wait, were you wanting something healthy? I got nothing. Sorry.

    OMG that stuff is heaven.

    I bought some of Jif's Salted Caramel spread & that is good too. I put it on a tortilla today & nuked it in the microwave & it was amazing.

    If you get rid of your peanut butter, just send it to me.

    Am I the only one who thinks PB2 is absolutely disgusting?

    No. No, you're not.

    On the other hand, I find myself really enjoying Santa Cruz dark roasted peanut butter. Tastes more peanutty to me, but it is salt free so it needs a sprinkling of salt to bring out the flavor, IMO.

    I tried that cookie butter today, because the whole internet is going ape about it all of the sudden. Anyways I didn't even wait to get home. I got into the truck and started eating it with my finger and, honestly, was sort of disappointed. It tasted sort of like a cheap cinnamon cookie or something :/

    This is no Nutella or Peanut Butter, guys. What's up with y'all?

    Sometimes PBJ is all I can afford to eat due to money restrictions, so thank God for PBJ! I just make sure to log it correctly and keep it under calorie goal... I can have up to 2 PBJ sandwiches daily without going over.

    I think I'm just a weirdo because all the things that people are like "YOU MUST MAKE THIS FIT YOUR DAY" are things that I'm like "Uh, why? High calorie for low volume and not even that good..."

    PB and any other nut butters can be tossed IMO. I don't like sweet things much. Sandwiches should have cured meat and smelly cheese, not jelly. I want salty, give me popcorn, steak, chips 24/7. Throw all the pb in the garbage can.

    I still buy peanut butter but just weigh out portions in small glass bowls on a food scale before I eat it. So for breakfast I'll put either 2 tbsp or 3 tbsp on my english muffin depending on how I've planned my day. I'll weigh out either 32g or 48g, log it, eat it, and enjoy it. I only like the natural PB with no salt added.

    Easier way to weigh PB is put the open jar on your digital scale, turn it on (or tare it out), as you remove PB the readout will show the grams in negative.

    I turned up my nose at the very idea of PB2, partly because I don't ever buy PB due to the calories and because I'd rather have real nuts (peanuts are a legume). Then I recently tried a faux PB that is low cal-- Better n Butter in chocolate-- and liked it. So I tried PB2 and I like it, too. I have it as a dip for apple slices or drizzled on moon pops, which are rice cake like thingies.

    I've heard a lot of people say good things about almond butter. But the calories for almond butter are probably not much different from peanut butter.
