Peanut Butter cup lovers, beware!

I thought there was some notice on the news the other month that young kids should not eat peanut butter? Isn’t that because of the fat content, with 25% of your daily fat from only one pathetic little serving? Well, that’s why I dont eat it.

I would like to write of my love of peanut butter and chocolate (and peanut butter and green apples) but brickers comments have cut me to the core, I simply can’t speak I can’t believe he could insult the peanut butter - IS NOTHING SACRED???
Have to go and make a pbj sandwich and relish the goodness.

Not to take this thread off on a tangent, but Rosebud reminded me of a malignant evil that haunts the peanut butter isle at my local Safeway, and I must comment on it…

GooberGrape.

Ugh!

A mixture of peanut butter and jelly, in one jar, striped like toothpaste.

Ugh!

Evil, evil, evil idea. How could the manufacturers possibly know what the proper ratio of peanut butter to jelly required to make a proper PB&J sandwich? And just imagine what a toxic waste lookin’ sludge would linger at the bottom of the jar twards the end of it’s life.

Ugh!

Inky

Bricker, I don’t know if they are still out there but my parents used to have a machine that took peanuts and turned it into peanut butter. Can’t remember what else was added to make it spreadable but I’m assuming it was vegetable oil or butter.

Actually a REAL troll would say something like this…

Y’all like to jerk off with peanut butter cups? I don’t, but the reason you like it is because the preservatives in the peanut butter cause a tingling that is supposed to be felt in the mouth… ETC.

Now a GNOME would say something like this…

Y’all like to bang your parents with peanut butter cups? I don’t… ETC.

But I like chocolate & peanut butter & milk. But now we aren’t supposed to drink milk & I dont like the idea of chocolate, peanut butter & beer.

Handy: Doctors don’t recommend giving very small children, under the age of one year, peanuts or peanut butter. The reason is escaping me, but IIRC, it has to do with the protein, not the fat.

As for those Newman’s cups, I haven’t seen them here yet, but when I do, I will try them. They sound awesome!


This space blank, until Wally thinks up something cool to put here.

I think the answer is obvious, folks. Bricker is from Mars. The jig is up, Bricker! Martians have infiltrated the pentagon! And I’m the only one to know! I will immediately… (loud crashing noises in background - arrgh! no!)

Bricker is human. Do not be alarmed. Please return to your scheduled lives. You will forget anything you ever read in this post.

Hey, who’s knocking GooberGrape! That stuff is actually pretty good. Well, no, it’s good as a last resort kind of food. Ahhh, childhood memories.


“Life is hard…but God is good”

I got the Newman’s cups at my health food store. He’s all organic… :slight_smile: I don’t know if they’re in the regular stores yet.

Nestle’s now makes Butterfinger. Which was originally made by Planter’s. Seems like it tastes the same, though.

I have yet to see Newman’s cups. But they’d have to be VERY good to beat Reese’s.


When all else fails, ask Cecil.

The OP is right, Paul Newman’s peanut butter cups are the best. Mmmmmyum. Don’t forget to try the mint cup ones, too. They’re like Peppermint Patties, but better. I get them at my local health (ha ha) food store.

“Don’t Do It.”

Jeannie beat me to it, but there are three men in my family circle who hate peanut butter. My dad, and brother, who made my life fun who I used to taunt thru childhood with things that had peanut butter in them like whatcamacallits and reese’s pieces. My brother fell for the reese’s pieces, because he is younger than me and I told him they were m&m’s!
My husband hates the stuff, and eats peanuts, but is NOW at least willing to touch it to make the kids pb&j sandwiches.

Inky, they still make goober grape. Never had it, but got it for the heathens, and they loved it. I won’t eat it because I don’t eat Peanut butter and jelly together.

Jiff makes different peanut butters with apples and cinnamon, mixed berries, and chocolate.

Now, back to the op, I will have to hunt those down, because NOTHING has ever come close to resse’s pb cups.

Now, who eats them cold, and who eats them room temp? I love mine close to melting!

“Peanut, Peanut Butter JELLY! Peanut, Peanut Butter JELLY!”

is it just a Canadian thing?

Pbj IS sacred, right up there with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese(before they started calling it KD!)

ahh the memories, soon to be relived as I will be moving out of residence and having to live on pbj and kd yet again :smiley:

I like RPBC’s when they are cold-ish or at worst room temp - I like it when the chocolate ridged edges are sort of crunchy…

I love peanut butter, but then, I grew up with it. I hate marmite or veggimite but have friends who “grew up with it” and love it. Most who like marmite or veggimite, from my experiences, like peanut butter too, but it is rarely the other way around. Funny that.


Even if I had a signature, I doubt I’d have room for it.

Some of you are freaks!!! I love peanut butter, but peanuts by themselves are nasty! That isn’t just my opinion, by the way, that is HARD FACT!

I forgot to add: My husband is not a big peanut butter fan. He likes peanuts–no, he freakin’ LOVES peanuts. But he doesn’t do peanut butter.

My personal opinion: There is only one peanut butter, and that is Jif. Jif rules. I like extra-crunchy myself. However, they did irk me a bit with those flavored peanut butter things. Anyone ever see Dennis Leary and his “Coffee-flavored coffee” routine? That’s what I was like when I heard about this peanut butter sacrilege. “Flavored peanut butter? Peanut butter is already flavored! It tastes like peanuts! It’s not supposed to taste like apples, dammit! It’s peanut butter! They already make apple butter!”

Whew. I feel much better now. But why do I have to look for those Newman’s cups in a health-food store? They’re not good for me, are they? Aaaaaack!

Peanut Butter Cups are my absolute favorite treat. Ben & Jerry’s has a Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream. Peanut butter ice cream with WHOLE peanut butter cups in it. Can you say “delicious?”

I knew that you could.
