@Cruiser PB and chocolate…wow. A man after my own heart.
Once I started buying natural peanut butter, there was no going back. Sometimes I sill buy Jif because it works better for baking, and there’s nothing quite like a really good, chewy, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie. Anyway, if you are going to be eating peanut butter regularly, stick to the kind that only contains peanuts and salt. Read the labels, because there’s a popular brand (maybe Skippy?) that has come out with what they call a “natural” peanut butter but it contains the extra oils.
The drawback to natural PB is that the oil separates and you have to stir it really well before using. I open the jar and stir it, then pop it into the fridge. It stays together after that. It’s also less sweet than other PB so isn’t as tasty (to me) right off the spoon, but is better with jelly or chocolate IMO.
The pediatrician once told me, “Peanut butter is a staple and very healthy.” I remember that every time I slather some on a chocolate bar. ;)
