My husband makes an AWESOME PB&J chicken...

Gosh, I LOVE PB so much that I can eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. Actually, it's a "trigger" food for me (it took me years to accept that fact) and I've had to stop buying it because I just can't resist it. It's so good, but so full of fat and sugar. And the mainstream brands are filled with transfats (the worst kind) so they can have a long shelf life. If you simply cannot live with out PB, I'd recommend the organic kind. Once you mix it up and store it in the fridge, it isn't bad. In fact, once you've become accustomed to it, it actually tastes better than the commercial brands. I miss my love affair with PB ...0

Mix together equal parts peanut butter and cool whip, and dip the fruit of your choice in it. Or, if you're feeling like you deserve a really big treat, cut a low calorie tortilla into triangles, spray some low (or no) calorie butter spray on the pieces, sprinkle cinnamon and splenda on the pieces, and bake until crispy. Homemade cinnamon sugar tortilla chips!! They go very well with the pb/cw dip.0

You think peanut butter is addictive just try almond or better yet cashew butter now that ones addictive. I buy a little cashew butter at a time (cause I can't be trusted with an entire jar) at a bulk store and their are no additives or preservatives.0

i've tried all types of nut butter. almond butter, cashew butter, and 'sunflower' butter made with sunflower seeds. all taste great, but in my opinion they are all good for mixing with certain fruits than others.0

That is what I used to do, but in the interest of my health I brough it down to one Eggo and less than a tablespoon of peanut butter. Still delish!0 -

As a kid and adult, I was never much into the PB&J thing or PB period. Regular PB is waaayyyyy tooo rich for me. Even the reduced fat, no sugar added is overload. I discovered the BEST thing. It is called Better N' Penaut Butter. It is a PB spread. I not only use it for PBJ on toast, lite bagels, and such, and PB and banana sandwiches. I also use it with sliced apples as a dip. I haven't tried cooking with it yet. 2 TBS has only 100 calories and 2 grams of fat. They even have a low sodium and chocolate version. I'm not a big fan of the chocolate though. It is ok, just tastes more chocolatey as opposed to peanut buttery, so it is best for dessert type use. I usually get it at Whole Foods. Other stores carry it and you can buy it online. It is a bit pricey ($5.99 for a jar), but I LOVE it and now eat PB quite often! You can go to www.betternpeanutbutter.com for info, recipes, etc.

"I take a tablespoon of natural peanut butter and a tablespoon of sugar free jelly and mix it up in a 2% Fage yogurt...delish!"
I am 100% trying this in the very near future i love the Fage greek yogurt even on its own but this will put a whole new level of yum into it!!!
Peanut butter isn't that big a thing here in the U.K but i am in love with it and i know its bad but i recently found a shop that does someamerican sweets and chocolate and you have peanutbutter in everything! Reeses pieces and peanut butter cups are amazing! and i'm just about to try a peanut butter twix (just one finger and i've worked my behind off for this for the past hour so it better be as good as i'm thinking its going to be!)
would love to do something savory with pb - something with chicken or prawns would be great but i would have no idea where to start to incorporate pb into a meal so any ideas would be great
