P.B. Burger
I was in Ohio this past Labor Day and my friends took me to a burger joint that had a peanut butter burger on the menu, I tried it and loved it! Try it yourself!
Asian Noodles
I haven’t tried it yet but look forward to it. Add peanut butter to the sauce and it elevates the noodles to the next level. People swear by it.
Banana
A smear of peanut on a banana is so good! I will peel the banana and dab peanut butter on each bite, it’s so good, also, I will put bananas and p.b. on my toast. Excellent!
Saltines
I think I grew up with a box saltine crackers in the house at all times and one of my favorite treats was a simple p.b. saltine sandwich, brings back fond memories to this day.
Bacon
Bacon and peanut butter is a match most people wouldn’t think about it until it happens and then afterwards you might start dipping your bacon right into the jar. Beware!
Ice Cream
Any ice cream sundae is made better with peanut butter. Next time you get a brownie sundae add some p.b. to it and you will be forever grateful, think about all that gooey chocolate mixed with p.b. and whipped cream all together! Yummy!
S'mores
I stumbled on this idea and have now decided that they should always be made this way. If you haven’t tried it, give it a shot this summer or fall around the firepit. You will love it.
Smoothies
Let’s face it, smoothies can get boring real fast, so I add a spoonful of peanut butter to my fruit smoothies and they are delicious! Plus, it’s a fun sneaky way to get protein in.
Pancakes
If you haven’t tried putting a little pb on your pancakes, it’s about time you did, especially when you pour some genuine New England Maple syrup on it. Dang!!
