Peanut Butter & Co

I have heard rave reviews about Peanut Butter & Co flavored peanut butters, so I decided to give it a try. I really wanted either the White Chocolate or the Cinnamon, but all the my grocery store had was the Dark Chocolate so I bought that one. I got home and tried it and could not believe how sweet it was - like so sweet it almost hurt my teeth! Maybe it's just because I have grown so used to natural peanut butter that it just seemed overly sweet to me?

My question is - are all of their PBs that sweet? I think I would really like the Cinnamon, but don't know how I'm going to get through the jar I have and don't want to spend the money on the cinnamon if it's super sweet too.

Thanks for any input :flowerforyou:

    Just by looking at the labels on their website, evaporated cane juice is the second ingredient in both the chocolate and cinnamon. I assume it's probably just as sweet? I've not tried either so don't go by what I'm saying (though now I want to, they sound awesome!) so hopefully someone that's tried them knows.

    I haven't tried the cinnamon one, but the White Chocolate Wonderful is just amazing...

    if sweetness is the hang-up, why don't you save your money and just experiment adding different amounts of actual cinnamon to your natural peanut butter? this way, you can have the cinnamon taste w/o the added sugars.

    Sounds good! Is this sold in regular supermarkets or specialty stores?

    You can get them at regular stores, though I see just a few different flavors, not all of them. I shop at Kroger and they have them.

    Dark chocolate dreams is the best ever!! It is super sweet; it's good for a sweet craving and I can only eat a little at a time (sometimes :blushing: ) I would assume the others would be just as sweet. However, their smooth operator and crunch time aren't sweetened at all so you might look at those. PB&Co is the only pb that I like!

    Yes they're all super sweet. Yes they're all super delicious. Yes I have 4 flavors open (along with my jar of regular natural peanut butter) right now (well not like open in front of me. :laugh:). I put a tbs in my oatmeal and it sweetens & flavors the oatmeal. I eat it by the tablespoonful as a quick treat pick-me-up. I don't think I could eat it on a PB&J sandwich or in large amounts, though because it is so sweet.

    Edit: At least all 4 of the flavors I've been able to find and try are super sweet. Dark Chocolate Dreams, Bee's Knees, White Chocolate Wonderful, Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (or something like that)

    I now buy only the Dark Chocolate from Peanut butter and co. Walmart carries for a responsible price. Publix and the web site is more expensive. I enjoy it with banana sandwiches.

    80-90 cals per tbs depending on which flavor you get. What's so special is that it's deliciously flavored peanut butter without any hydrogenated oils or preservatives.

    The white chocolate isn't as sweet as the dark chocolate (I love both!), but it is still fairly sweet compared to regular natural pb. I put a tbsp on a rice cake. I've also sliced a banana and put some of that on there. :love:

    No, it's around 180 for 2 tablespoons, but I rarely use more than 1 tbsp at a time. At my Walmart, it's $3.50 ish per jar. I don't know how much it is on the website.

    What? How did you get 53 calories for 2 tablespoons when I just told you it's 80-90 calories for ONE tablespoon? :huh:

    Those sound like the calories for PB2 (peanut butter with most of the peanut oil removed). "Google" it.

    Just let me know! Although I think they have it at the Walmart in GB, so you could get some when you come up in a couple weeks!
