Recently I bought a jar of peanut butter to keep in my desk drawer at work. The idea being when I haven’t time for a real breakfast I can put some of this on “crackers”. This peanut butter is supposedly 100% natural and is quite runny, so I thought rather then use a knife to spread it I could just dip the cracker into the jar. That worked, so I tried it with some cheese supreme Doritos and OMG, I like. Have I just invented something? Is this common or weird? If you want to criticise my palate keep in mind I’m Australian and I like Vegemite and eat Beetroot on burgers.😛 ---

Next, try corn chips with bananas. And peanut butter. ---

Dip the banana into the peanut butter? Eat that with a Dorito? That could work. 🙂 ---

It actually sounds good, and I don’t even like peanut butter much. One of the in-laws eats Doritos with cottage cheese every day, which I always thought sounded terrible but turned out to be quite tasty. ---

Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey scooped up with Fritos Scoops. Hell, it has banana, that makes it breakfast. ---

When I was a teenager, I used to walk down to 7-11 grab a big bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos, open it up, and then walk over to the hot dog station and squirt a bunch of that hot dog chili in there. Pure heaven! (Pot was involved) I also like nacho cheese Doritos with picante sauce. ---

Sounds like those cheese-cracker-and-peanut-butter pre-packaged sandwich snacks, but with a ton more flavor. Hmm… ---

They make snack packets of cheese flavored crackers with peanut butter so why not nacho cheese flavor with peanut butter? Sounds good to me. I always liked Doritos with PBJs.

I’m familiar with this dish from my childhood, only in sandwich form. I’m surprised I’m not following up a chorus of people mentioning that, because it was pretty common in the lunchroom when I was growing up. You’d open the peanut butter sandwich, dump fun size nacho cheese Doritos on it, spread 'em out evenly, reassemble and enjoy. It’s good. I don’t crave it any more for some reason, but it’s good. ---

As to the OP - never tried that. Hmm. Maybe I will. ---

I’m just glad they weren’t cool ranch Doritos, trying to imagine someone combining that with peanut butter must be like looking into the face of Cthulhu. ---
