chaobellI was over at Dad's doing laundry a few weeks ago, and as we tend to do when I am over on a Sunday, we were watching Food TV. I don't remember whether it was "Unwrapped" or "The Secret Life of..." but one show was all about peanut butter.
They featured a restaurant in New York that deals heavily in peanut butter sandwiches, from the traditional pb&j to the Elvis which, as you might have guessed, contains peanut butter, bananas, and bacon, and is grilled.
They also sell their own special brand of peanut butter, and they've got white chocolate peanut butter and dark chocolate peanut butter and cinnamon peanut butter and and and. They gave a URL.
"Hmm," thought I, "that sounds nifty, I shall have to look later." And then I promptly forgot all about it.
Until I saw the very peanut butter on the shelf at Kroger's a couple of weeks later.
The company: Peanut Butter & Co.
"AHA!" said I, and bought a jar of the white chocolate kind.
I don't think I've ever said "OMG" at peanut butter before, but this kind definitely rates an OMG. So good. Especially in a pb&j with strawberry preserves.
The only complaint I have is that toward the bottom of the jar, you tend to run into little clumps and chunks of salt. However, if they bother you, they can easily be picked and flicked with the tip of a butter knife.
The website also has lots of neat recipes using the fancy-ass peanut butter.
Kroger's does not have the spicy kind, sadly. I wanted to try making some kind of Thai noodle thingy with it.
