    discovered that about 2 months ago and mmmhmmmm...delicious! I had one last night and have already packed one as a snack for today =)
    Not sure if you have heard about bellplantation products. A few people have mentioned it on here and I just ordered some yesterday. It is a peanut powder that you mix with water to create the creamy PB. It has like 85% less fat. They also have it in chocolate and they have a peanut oil. I can't wait to try that. Good luck to you!!

    Oh hon, we're way ahead of ya! A couple of us just discovered a new healthy peanut butter...it's made by Peanut Butter Company & it's sold at Whole Foods. My boyfriend's brother brought home a "white chocolate" flavored peanut butter & it's nutritional information is about the same as regular PB... SOOO tasty!

    Love the natural peanut butter with a Fuji Apple. The apples are so sweet and a perfect compliment to the unsweetened peanut butter.

    Edit: I'll have to try it melted. That sounds good.

    I am so glad to see that i am not the only person who eats melted peanut butter lol- thats almost the only way i'll eat it (even before making a pb sammich ill melt the peanut butter lol:)

    But, I agree, it goes pretty darn well with apples...or celery....or bananas...or pretty much anything...*drools*

    Isn't it yummy?! I use a melon ball scooper to take out the core of the apple and then place the peanut butter in the well. I need to try it melted with slices- that sounds delish!

    That is really good but im not to sure it is good for you. Yes apples are good but they do have sugar, i know it is natural but its still sugar. Now for the peanut butter if it wasnt natural it was not good at all. Even then natural peanut butter should be limited. I have 2 tbls a day maybe. that is just for the fat cause it is good fats

    That's foolish. All sugar is not the enemy.

    I do that.:D I tend to pop the peanut butter in the microwave for thirty seconds, so it's easier to scoop.

    I am a peanut butter ADDICT! I try not to eat it too too much cause once I get started there's no stopping. I love it on everything though-apples, carrots, tomato slices (seriously), and rice cakes especially! That's a great alternative to a PB sandwich with regular bread. Oh and of course, PB and chocolate, duh.

    Possibly dumb question though-when you guys say you melt it, what do you put it on? Like melt it in a bowl? Or on whatever you're eating? I've never heard of that but I've got to try it!

    Put a bit of cinnamon in the melted peanut butter to shake things up. Yum.
