The Peanut Butter thread

I like peanut butter but I became more of a sunflower seed butter person. I stopped buying it because of the calories and the "have a quick taste but with a not so quick glob on a spoon that was never logged" problem..

Crazy Richard's chunky! I eat it on top of oatmeal in the morning.

My fiance is a Jif creamy guy. And he likes it on white bread with Welch's grape jelly.

@psuLemon on those pancakes 😱

That’s brilliant!!!!!

Just in here to stand as a non-American who could live (and probably die early) on a diet solely consisting of Crunchy Peanut Butter and Jam sandwiches! Or on toast, or on a cracker. Loved it since childhood. Not really sure how it came to be a thing in my very English home some 50+ years ago before American TV was the influence it is today. 🤷‍♀️

Has to be Crunchy, preferably a good quality whole nut butter but if all there is is a supermarket jar I’m still in! Still always just the nuts and salt, although I’m not sure we get anything with the other additives in the U.K.? Certainly never been aware of it, but maybe I just know my brands 🤷‍♀️

It’s not something I indulge in often (sheer willpower) but I could, oh yes I could! 😂

Otherwise, I use it to make Satay and Asian stir fry style dishes for my husband. For me I tend to use PB2 for a modified version. I also have a Chocolate PB powder but I’ve found very limited uses for that so far. Mixed into Skyr is about it and eaten with sliced apple.

I haven't done it in a long time, but I would smear it on just a Hershey bar and eat it. Dangerous.

I remember, as a child, seeing my mother sitting on the couch and using a Hershey's bar to scoop peanut butter straight out of the jar. I'm terrified to even consider the amount of calories. LOL.

As a kid in a low-income home, my mother packed me a school lunch of a PBJ and some crackers. Every. Single. Day. For years. One of the main reasons I took a job in the school cafeteria, not for the pathetic pay check it generated, but because it included free hot meal every day. Say what you will about school food, after a decade of daily PBJ's, anything tasted terrific! Think I've eaten a PBJ twice in the three decades since, too.

Not to say I dislike peanut butter! I do enjoy it on occasion, mostly in the form of a spoonful of crunchy straight from the jar on days I need a quick snack, or if I'm low on calories for the day. Reese's are a favorite candy of mine, fully realizing they don't use true PB, lol.

Bake a batch of peanut butter cookies, however, and I will follow you around like a puppy.
