Peanut Butter Wonder(ful)!

There's a peanut butter secret I discovered two years ago while visiting a friend in New York City.  It's called "Peanut Butter & Co", and it's a New York based Peanut Butter phenomenon.  Located in Greenwich Village, near NYU, this tiny little storefront is just a smidgen of a glance at the wonders of peanut butter.  Happily making sandwiches, snacks, and "bite size" samples for the eager customers that taste their way through the store, Peanut Butter & Co has carved a niche for iteself in the peanut butter world.


Ok, so I've said "peanut butter" a lot already, and you're probably sitting there reading this going "yeah yeah, so what?  There's always JIF, Skippy, Reese's, Earth Balance, and a myriad of other peanut butter companies, so why should I care?"  Well, if that's your argument you clearly have been missing out!  This is not just your everyday peanut butter company!  This is big news people!  


Not only does Peanut Butter & Co create peanut butter varieties that no one else has even attempted, but the actual peanut butter itself covers every type of dietary need.  You can find ones that are kosher, vegan, without hydrogenated oils, without high fructose corn-syrup, without cholesterol or trans-fat, and even gluten-free!


My personal favorite is the White Chocolate Wonderful, which caters to all of the above mentioned dietary requirements!  I also like The Bees Knees (with honey), Mighty Maple (with maple syrup) and Cinnamon Raisin Swirl (perfect of pairing with celery sticks!).  Just check out their website http://ilovepeanutbutter.com/index.php/sandwichshop and see all the varieties for yourself!  You can even buy gift sets online and send them to other peanut butter connoisseurs like yourself!  Any and all self-respecting peanut butter fanatics will go crazy for this company!  (and probably end up eating some of it straight from the jar with a spoon . . . not, of course, that I've ever done that . . . *uhem* . . . I mean . . . )


So, grab a jar for yourself!  Treat yourself!  This is no ordinary PB experience!  Let me know if you have a favorite.  I also willingly accept gifts . . .   :-)


Bon appetit!

  1. Just a heads up. If you're trying to save money, x-brand is the way to go.

  2. I fully agree. But as a splurge or any other time for giving personal treats - it is one of the best brands / holistic PB I've found :-)
