    We make our own in the food process. Roasted peanuts with sea salt and honey. I put mine with bacon on an English muffin for supper sometimes. I love it on caramel rice cakes. And I eat it several times daily mixed into nonfat Greek yogurt, along with PB2 to keep flavor up and calories down. Oh, and I will mix some with a little stevia and extra salt, stir in chocolate chips and microwave til soft. A lovely special treat! I also like to spread some on a chocolate chip oatmeal granola bar.

    I switched to one of the "natural" brands a couple of years ago, less sodium and it actually tastes like peanuts. I like mine on toast, bagels etc etc but I also put a tablespoon in my oatmeal and in smoothies.

    I usually put some on a graham cracker or with sliced bananas on a slice of whole wheat bread.

    Mixed in with my oatmeal. PB and Banana sandwich is one of go-to snacks too!

    Oh, yes! Really great stuff. I'll skip the bread and just have more PB and banana. ;)

    Caffeinated. At least during the school year. A tablespoon on whole-grain toast with breakfast makes it a lot easier to get through six straight hours of classes.

    Get a vitamix and welcome to the world of all the unique homemade nut and seed butters. Almond butter is amazing...as is cashew. Sunflower seed butter is great too.

    By the spoonful, on sandwiches, in cookies, on toast, on crackers, on apple or celery or carrots slices, mixed into vanilla ice cream

    ETA: peanut butter cream pie is delicious

    No peanut butter, but peanut powder - in my oatmeal, yogurt or smoothies.

    i adore peanut butter, it should be a food group! i personally like taking a corn tortilla (i'm gluten free) and wrapping a banana with peanut butter. excellent snack! also, if you can get it, try blind spot nut butters...i love their super squirrely tail! it's nut butter blended with cranberries and raisins and it's ah-mazing :)

    If I make my pb/Pb2 Greek yogurt with a dash of salt, vanilla and butter flavoring, and leave it overnight, it firms up and becomes very pie-like. I have it for breakfast about 99% of the time!

    Peanut Butter and Ice Cream and the two foods that I do not buy or have in the house. I have really good self control on the foods I eat, but PB and IC are just too calorie dense and too tempting for me too have around. Previously, PB was my food of choice for late night binging. I do keep nuts around and count/weigh them to include into my diet and occasionally I will eat ice cream by going out for it as a treat.

    The sour taste of the yogurt doesn't mesh well with pb for me. What is "butter flavoring"?

    pb2 on protein pancakes, or on a banana :)

    Classic Kraft, smooth. No other brand, no other textures. I like it on toast or crackers.

    I sweeten it with stevia, but I like cheesecake so the tartness doesn't bother me. I use a lot of liquid cooking flavors like orange or maple to make my own Flavored yogurt and hot chocolate. It also comes in butter, so I get the taste with fewer calories. Should be in the baking or spice aisle at most stores. I prefer the Mccormick brand. (Other brands use a ton of alcohol that has to evaporate before you can eat it.)
