Good morning!
And Happy Friday!
Another week almost done. I'm ready for 4:00.

Easy question this morning: Peanut Butter: Creamy or Crunchy? What's your favorite brand of PB? And what do you like with your PB?

No question around here: Skippy Super Chunk. We put it on celery, we make PB sandwiches, I use it as a dip for celery sticks; great source of protein, I bake lots of PB cookies for Rick.

The Beast has her own jar of Skippy Creamy. Rick puts Jackie's Prozac in a teaspoon of PB and it's gone in no time.

I think Mom always used Jif, too. In our case, it was fluffernutters, peanut butter with marshmallow creme.

Crunchy for sure. I love Stonewall Kitchen's peanut butter. I prefer an all natural one that is just ground peanuts and salt.

JIff creamy.....

Love PB... once I open a jar, that is it...I get on a PB fit...

My favorite is a lightly toasted white bread with creamy PB and sliced banana... I sometimes add a bit of jelly on the other side of the bread.. so good.. childhood dreams..

Used to have a glass of milk with it, until I became lactose intolerant with milk... 

Now I love to use PB as a dip for apples... or bosc pears.. so good.

I like both.  But I don't eat peanut butter on sandwiches - I just spoon it out and lick lol.  

I buy the natural Smuckers creamy all the time because my fiance dislikes the chunky.  But I'd be happy with either.

Never cared for peanut butter, so don't have a specific brand.



Except, funny enough, I do enjoy it in chocolate. Not Reese's though, but really nice chocolate or  in an ice cream. Creamy form, of course.

I like creamy, don't care what brand. My Dad loved crunchy, and I ate that back when. I like pb and banana sandwiches, but I don't have them much because the bananas always go bad before I eat them all, even if I buy only one or two. My fave late-night snack is pb on saltines with a hamburger dill slice on top with a glass of milk. Yum!

I grew up on Skippy Creamy peanut butter. I cannot stand Jiff - way way too sugary and gross tasting
I've only ever had peanut butter spread on plain white toast. It wasn't until college that I had my first PB&J sandwhich

Crunchy is a must. I usually ate Skippy in the U.S., but have become a lot less picky about the brand since moving to Europe. What I don't like is the "all- natural" type, because it's usually way too dry.

Growing up in the 1950s, Peter Pan (creamy) was the only choice.  I haven't seen any reason to switch yet, and probably won't.

I don't eat a lot of peanut butter but I prefer creamy, no particular brand.   My ex preferred crunchy, since I didn't eat a lot of peanut butter we always had crunchy.  When I have a PB&J sandwich I use strawberry jam.  I know grape jelly is the one most people think of but I like strawberry jam.

As a kid I ate Skippy creamy. Now I eat one of the natural creamy peanut butters that is easy to stir.  I like it with a banana or in a PB and jelly sandwich. When I was a kid I lived on PB & J sandwiches. I read once that people that eat chunky PB are smarter than the people that eat creamy. I don't see how that could be true.

CRUNCHY, all natural, no sugar added. Brand depends on where I am at the time.  One store has their own fresh ground, another has their own but in a jar.  Thanks for reminding me, I need to get more today!

Peter Pan creamy. On bread, crackers of all types and sizes. Best by the big spoonful. As a kid, Aunt Jamima over 2-3 spoonfuls.

...with the cats...
oh, i absolutely adore peanut butter!!! 


i grew up on skippy brand, and then jif. these days, i mostly buy peanut delight (brand, from aldi's) or wegman's brand. i was pleasantly surprised by how much i like the aldi's brand peanut butter. creamy or chunky......i love both equally.

i eat peanut butter by the spoonful, on toast, in a pb &j sandwich, in baked items of all sorts, as a dip for fresh celery, and of course the peanut butter and sweet bread & butter pickles sandwich. another really great thing is a peanut butter, mayo, and lettuce sandwich....
  my dad used to like those a lot.

creamy is the only one I eat, Jiff is what Mr Jon likes=I don't care what brand-I eat it on toast with fluff...oh my goodness I can eat 3 sandwiches of fluff n pb.

I eat peanut butter on Ritz crackers and yes I eat the entire sleeve of crackers..that's the hardest thing for me to not buy...but nothing like a buttery cracker with peanut butter...
