    I'm a sucker for a PB & J or a PB & banana sandwich, but I find it hard not to put like 12 servings of PB on that sort of thing, so I try to instead use PB where I get more bang for the tablespoon. I like to fry an egg, toast an english muffin, then put the egg on half the muffin and eat that, then one serving of PB on the last half to eat for "breakfast dessert". This works even better with some bacon and a cup of coffee. I stir half a serving of PB into hot oatmeal, the taste/texture really comes through even with the small amount. PB smeared on apple slices. And some nights, I weigh out a serving of PB on a spoon, and just bring the loaded spoon back to the couch with me.

    I wish I could do that I put PB in my porridge I can hardly taste it yet 30g spread of two thins is perfect :/

    Peanut butter on toast with sliced banana is my go to. And, I can't buy the peanut butter cups at halloween. TOOOOO DANGEROUS! Lol.

    The holiday shapes are the best. Pumpkins, trees, eggs... All of them have a better PB to chocolate ratio than the cups (especially the mini cups - really, why even bother!?) :tongue:

    This is dangerous information. Thank you, not thank you... not sure. ha ha.

    I love peanut butter as well and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a cup of coffee is my favorite breakfast. Also, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my weakness; I could eat them until I'm ill.

    I've been sitting here thinking that I'll need to be careful tomorrow night when we hand out candy for the trick-or-treater's (Halloween). My wife bought some kind of chocolate and peanut butter covered pretzels to hand out and I'll be sorely tempted to eat them as I'm handing them out.

    hang on - that's a thing? that one can buy? why have I never seen these.... (like in Halloween candy sorta packagging obviously I know you can buy choco covered pretzels...)

    They have pb pretzels year round but you can find them more prominently displayed for Halloween in small packages for handing out. Some are Reese's dipped some just PB.

    I never ate peanut butter as a child; I don't know why, but we only had plain jam or jelly sandwiches. We only used peanut butter for making peanut butter cookies. I don't remember giving my children peanut butter and jelly sandwiches either, but we always had it in the house, to make cookies. I discovered the sensory and tasty delight as a Senior, introduced to it by my Grandson. Now, it's a problem, because I really love crunchy peanut butter on whole wheat crackers with a touch of jam or jelly. I can also eat it by the spoonful! But I log it!

    Peanut butter cream cheese fat bombs.
    Peanut butter banana smoothies.
    Yes on the Reese’s Christmas trees, but we call them Christmas poo because they really don’t look like trees. Any South Park fans know what I mean?

    When I finish making Christmas candy, my husband and I make Mr. Hankeys with the remaining chocolate.

    My favorite breakfast is peanut butter and banana on toast. It's my special weekend treat, as a serving of peanut butter is otherwise totally sad, and I really, really have to watch it not to overdo it. A big spoonful of peanut butter stirred into a vanilla yoghurt is my favorite dip for apples, but oh god, the calories! Strangely enough, I don't really like Reese's peanut butter cups. Somehow, they taste weird. I do love Reese's pieces, though. Fortunately, we don't get them here in Germany.

    Marshmallow Fluff is dangerous in my house along with PB. My wife always wants me to make Candy Cane Fudge for Xmas and then, on top of that, she goes out and buys too many dang jars of Marshmallow Fluff. Now what the heck is a PB lover like me supposed to do with that temptation??

    If I buy non "honey" PB and keep bread out of the house, as well as grape jelly, I'm safe most of the time. I do go hard on the PB on days I eat Vegan and lift/row too intensely and don't have enough protein. I find having a Vegan Protein drink for lunch staves off that PB night time binge. Also the Powered PB protein drinks help at lunch on occasion.

    I just went through a several month peanut butter binge. I just couldn't stop. I'm all better now. I'm back to weighing every bit that goes in my mouth. Last month was zucchini season and I found a peanut butter zucchini bread with peanut butter chips that was amazing. It's hidden in the freezer now.

    Peanut butter zucchini bread sounds wonderful. I only eat zucchini bread when my in-laws come to visit as she loves to make us a ton of baked goods and that's my husband's favorite. I may have to make some pb infused loaves though.

    My weirdo husband does NOT like pb (what an embarrassing :| thing to admit) so that will be more for me.

    For a while it seemed like I couldn't get enough PB. Either by the spoonful, or on rice cakes. I was buying JIF with added sugar because it spreads nicer than the other. I wanted to stop - so I tried the PB2 for a while. But, came to the conclusion that it wasn't as good as real PB.

    NOW I've gone back to the natural - peanuts only PB - which you have to stir - unless you refrigerate. I also bought other nut/seed butters. Almond, cashew, sunflower. With the variety, I find that I no longer go for the PB all the time. Which I'm glad. And, I also get regular nuts like almonds, walnuts to eat so I don't always want the spreadables.

    Have you tried PB Fit??? It’s powdered PB and it’s amazing! I put it in dang near everything. Protein shake, yogurt, cereal, etc...

    You can buy it at Costco I believe and a tablespoon is only 35 cals! Try it out.
