Both!!!

Now! said...

Skippy Crunchy, all-natural. We take several jars home in our suitcase every time we visit the U.S.

Peanut butter is actually a pretty healthy vegetarian protein, but it gets no respect from Europeans. One of my daughter's kindergarden teachers told me to stop sending 'that frosting' in her lunch.

They also objected when I packed a tortilla, telling me I should stop sending her to school with pancakes.

Creamy. Can't stand crunchy.

Creamy peanut butter and Nutella on whole wheat bread....yum!

Cathy said...

Have you guys ever tried the cookie butter from trader joe's??? now THAT'S the stuff!!!

auntliddy said...

Both! Sadly, can no longer eat it:(

a non a miss said...

Isn't there a 2 jar limit on the cookie butter?

Christopher Cruz said...

Bahahahahaha!!! Gold!!!

Lurker Girl said...

Crunchy--the more the better! and this Cookie Butter from TJ's might make it worth a trip up to Ann Arbor!

Christopher Cruz said...

Oh no! That just bummed me out :(

Crunchy for PB&J, creamy for choco-peanut butter-banana shakes.

Cathy said...

@a non a miss - i don't know, i have a self-imposed one jar limit because i have a tendency to just start eating it straight from the jar. it starts off by putting some on toast. then i think, "oh, i'll just have a spoonful before i put the jar away." next, i'm getting the jar out of the pantry and polishing the rest of it off.

Wen said...

Cashew Butter all the way!

Cathy said...

Well all the trader joe's sell it, but Ann Arbor is pretty awesome anyways :)

Are you a student, @lurker girl? That's where i did my undergrad!!

I saw an article on Buzzfeed about TJ and the sign above the Cookie Butter said "Limit Two" and I was curious as I've never been to a TJ before.

Christopher Cruz said...

Oooh, THAT'S good, too!!!

hothotheat said...

Neither - allergy.

rhinovodka said...

Smooth, JIF Only! unless it's Reese's PB Cups, then I make an exception.

Oopsy_Daisy said...

Cookie butter is amazing. Great on apples, graham crackers, sandwiches, just a spoon, gosh everything!
Even better with Nutella on a warm croissant... I'm hungry now!!

Oopsy_Daisy said...

I recently tried sunflower butter and wasn't impressed. Not bad, but just not interesting enough to have more. Next on the list is cashew!

Meanie Rhysie said...

Oh, how I miss peanut butter! I became allergic at 40 and pooh on that!

I miss Ann Arbor, too! Lived there for 15 years! Michigan, yes! :)

Meanie Rhysie said...

Oh...it had to be creamy when I was younger; if I could eat it now, it would be crunchy!

figgy said...

Crunchy. All natural only. I add salt to it.

Evil Kumquat said...

Creamy peanut butter.

If you want crunchy, you may as well just eat raw peanuts.

Or Grape Nuts.

Or gravel.

Tru Leigh said...

Almond butter.

HimynameisChloe said...

Not that I know of and I work there

Seven of Eleven said...

Homemade nutella!

Jason Blue Eyes said...

Creamy. I eat a little for protein each day after working out. On rare occasions I'll mix some in with chocolate ice cream. Mmmm.

Tempestuous Grape said...

Neither, because Peanut Butter is poison.

"Why should we avoid it? What’s not to like about peanut butter? I’m not even going to discuss the soybean oil and sugar-laden garbage that passes for peanut butter, because my readers definitely aren’t asking about that stuff. They’re doing natural butter with peanuts (and salt) as likely the only ingredient.

It generally contains aflatoxins.

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring fungal toxins, or mycotoxins, produced by certain members of Aspergillus, a type of fungus found pretty much everywhere throughout the world. Aspergillus tends to colonize any monosaccharide and polysaccharide it comes across, as long as the conditions are right, but peanuts are particularly susceptible. Most crops are colonized after harvest and during storage, but since Aspergillus is found in the soil (among other places) and peanuts grow underground, peanut colonization often occurs well before harvest. The result is that peanuts are among the most contaminated crops, along with corn and cottonseed.

Oh...didn't see this. I'm on a west coast store and there's no limit over here. I bought my friend a whole case for Christmas one year.

Eros said...

Crunchy with sliced green bananas.

Lurker Girl said...

@Cathy--Sorry, but I'm a BUCKEYE thru and thru--only set foot on campus there when the Bucks play Mich...I live down past Toledo though...so it's the closest store to me. When I go to work in Cleveland I make sure I stop in--I will have to look for the CB there.

I developed a peanut allergy about five years ago, so I can't eat it now. When I was a child, there was the most awesome peanut butter called Oz which was the closest to spreadable roasted peanuts I've ever tasted.

Kelly said...

Both. Depends on my mood. I always keep a jar of each.

M. Brown said...

Extra Crunchy.

Erik said...

Neither.

KittyKatMeow said...

Peter Pan Creamy honey roasted is the only kind I'll eat. Mmmmm. I'm going to have some PB on graham crackers.

nunaurbiz said...

Super-chunky with bacon on top!

Wil said...

PB&J gives me heartburn now. Must be my advancing age? But I use creamy for cookies and I use crunchy for a Thai peanut pasta dish I make .. so I guess both.
