Congrats to Charlie G, our randomly selected winner for the case of peanut butter giveaway!
Here’s a confession: My brother ate nothing but peanut butter (on bread) for an entire year. He was a little kid and my mom obviously wasn’t taking control of his diet! He wanted peanut butter and she let him have it. Of course there are all kinds of things wrong with that and, luckily, he’s outgrown the obsession. He still loves peanut butter and (in moderation) there’s everything right about that!
So, what would you do with a case of peanut butter? Read on for a chance to win one! It doesn’t matter how you like it-smooth, crunchy, unsweetened or no salt added-we’ve got you covered with our 365 Everyday Value® Organic Peanut Butter at $3.49 for 18oz. And guess what? Our March/April issue of The Whole Deal has a $1.00 off coupon. Print the online coupon or pick up the value guide with coupons in our stores. Now that’s a tasty deal.
Do you think that peanut butter is kind of all the same? We don’t. In our experience, the peanuts that go into that jar make a big, flavorful difference, and organic makes even more of a difference. That’s why we require the best-tasting organic peanuts for the peanut butter that wears our name. The organic Spanish peanuts used in our 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter are grown by several family farmers in West Texas, like the Bingham Family.
Cliff Bingham is a 4th generation farmer. His wife, five sons, six daughters, son-in-law and granddaughter – along with the grandparents – are involved in the family farming business. Bingham Family Vineyards and Farm not only grows peanuts, they grow wine grapes for Texas wineries and organic row crops like cotton, wheat, rye, black-eyed peas, blue corn, sesame and garbanzo beans. When they aren’t farming, the Bingham family is big into playing music – many of the kids play multiple instruments and perform with the Lubbock Youth Symphony Orchestra. The family enjoys playing a variety of music including classical, country, gospel, fiddle and wedding songs!
With all those active kids, I bet that family eats a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But aside from PB&J, there are many delicious, grown-up and fun, not-so-grown-up ways to eat peanut butter. Here are a few of our favorites:
Apple Sandwiches with Granola and Peanut Butter
Lettuce Wraps with Chile Peanut Noodles
Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Peanutty Udon Noodle and Tofu Salad
So, how do you enjoy peanut butter? Let us know in the comments by March 12th (edit: extended to March 16th since you all LOVE peanut butter so much!) and you’ll be entered to win a case of 365 Everyday Value® Organic Peanut Butter! And, by the way, my brother is NOT eligible to win.

Oh my goodness! Peanut butter is good for almost anything. It’s a healthy snack on an apple or banana, or a bad day comfort food on a bit of chocolate. It’s a preschool craft ingredient (remember Ants on a Log?) or fine on the end of a spoon (especially good for hangovers!). It’s a taste of the exotic on a Thai pizza as well as a sweet memory of childhood.
What would I do with a case of peanut butter? Not just one thing!

My son would eat a lot of Peanut Butter and Jelly “Sushi” (I flatten 2 pieces of bread with a rolling pin, do the PB&J thing, and then roll it like sushi. Voila, 1 flattened PB&J sandwich that my son LOVES) and we’d have a lot of PB cookies, pies, etc. I’d also be giving several jars away… no sense in not sharing it! That’s a lot of PB!
March 5th, 2010 at 5:59 am
We buy a new jar of peanut butter nearly every time we go to the grocery store! It goes in the morning oatmeal, African peanut stew, spicy peanut dipping sauce for vietnamese fresh rolls, peanut butter cookies, I could go on forever. It’s not too bad on a spoon either
March 5th, 2010 at 6:33 am
My guilty pleasure is peanut butter and jelly on hot whole wheat bread. The peanut butter gets all runny from the heat and mixes together with the jelly to make a drippy, oozy mess. Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 7:55 am
I love putting peanut butter on top of oatmeal. It melts and is so delicious!
March 5th, 2010 at 8:05 am
I love peanut butter in a smoothie with blueberries — kind of like a delicious PB and jelly sandwich you can eat with a straw.
March 5th, 2010 at 8:07 am
I make quinoa oatmeal by cooking red quinoa with oatmilk. One of my favourite toppings is peanut butter + fresh blueberries + agave. A case would keep me going for a while! I would also make the occasional batch of peanut butter brownies
March 5th, 2010 at 8:17 am
A case of peanut butter would help to fuel my training for my first marathon race this year. I will graduate with my degree in May and I will then have time to celebrate by completing my first full marathon! I would also hone my peanut butter recipes, some of which are already well on their way. A whole case of organic peanut butter?! I think my friends would find ways to come over more often!
Lately I have been using peanut butter in my homemade granola recipe, giving it extra protein. Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:05 am
I love PB! PB and apply jelly is my favorite PB&J sandwich combo. I enjoy it in oatmeal for breakfast or spread on a banana for a pre-workout snack. I also love your gluten-free PB cookies recipe.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:27 am
OH–and of course I would share the PB!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I love crunchy peanut butter. Since I’ve moved to Texas from Missouri, I even put it on a tortilla and roll it for a tortilla and PB sandtilla.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:30 am
I would make my favorite peanut butter cookies, and homemade energy bars for my long runs this spring.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Amazing giveaway!
I like my peanut butter drizzled over a big bowl of hot oatmeal – the best!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:31 am
We would try it in our Adult Peanut Butter Cups and PB Truffles!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:31 am
Love it in No Bake Cookies!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
eat it! PB and cheddar sandwiches are the greatest. Especially with some whole grain bread! Of course apples, pb and marshmallow fluff are pretty amazing too. then again i’d have no problem just eating it straight.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I’d donate the case of peanut butter. I’m deathly allergic to it, but there is a food bank in Trenton, New Jersey that I am sure could use it.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
The question is “What wouldn’t I do with a case of peanut butter!”
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I would buy a case of jelly & enough bread and take it to a homeless shelter.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I enjoy peanut butter in oh so many ways. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and peanut butter on fruit are some of my most favorite ways.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:32 am
I like to toast a sandwich round and spread a lil peanut butter on it. It’s melty goodness. I also like to dredge a square of super dark chocolate in peanut butter to balance the bitter.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
I think I would keep a couple of jars that I needed, then pass them along to my friends, or a local food bank where it could be used.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
We love peanut butter pie, pb&j, and of course buckeyes!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Peanut butter is my absolute FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD. I eat it with everything- rice cakes, bananas, apples, carrots, celery, on bread, in my oatmeal and the list goes on! I have to say I love creamy the best and I LOVE the fresh-ground honey-roasted peanut butter at Whole Foods! Mmmmm!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
I would make tons of peanut butter cookies for my husband and son(My son is in the Navy, so he would love to get those in a care package!). Honestly, I enjoy peanut butter in so many ways, but the best if just straight from the jar!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
My favorite way to eat peanut butter is with a banana on toast or in a wrap.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:33 am
Peanut butter was one of the “Big 3″ foods that my son’s pediatrician recommended to him for gaining weight. He eats it on PB&J’s of course, but also with apples, bananas, and crackers. Whole Foods brand is his favorite-just the right consistency.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I love it just the way it was meant to be, on whole wheat bread with strawberry jam. Oh yeah, and big glass of cold milk. Mmmmm, is it lunch time yet?
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
We eat PB everyday in our house. We always buy the big jar of 365 and I also ground my own honey pb at the store once a week. Glenn loves making pb sandwiches with fresh cut fruit, yum! And I love pb on toast w/a little honey drizzled over it. I also love to just take a spoon and enjoy pb in all it’s glory! =)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
If I had a case of peanut butter I would make tons of PB&J sandwiches to hand out in downtown Cedar Rapids, where I live. Everyone likes PB&J…eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. Can’t think of a better way to put a smile on someone’s face than a free PB&J!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I love peanut butter anything.
As a kid, peanut butter sandwiches were my thing. I went through high school only eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day. Other childhood favorites were peanut butter and pickle sandwiches and peanut butter and sugar sandwiches.
Old habits die hard … dinner last night for me was a peanut butter and sugar sandwich.;)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:34 am
I would make a ton of peanut butter fudge.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
If I won a case of peanut butter I would bring it to Haiti with me to help provide food for the volunteers at the Bon Samaritan orphanage and hospital who work so hard to help the Haitian community and need all the support they can get.
- Sharon
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Oh this list is endless…there will always be the PBJ, peanut butter and banana anything, peanut butter cookies, and almost every asian inspired recipe I make I include peanut butter. mmm. I’m hungry now.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
With a case of peanut butter I’d be set for a while, though probably not an entire year. I’m a working mid twenty something, and for the past 3 years or so, I have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich everyday for lunch. I love peanut butter. It’s healthy, saves me money on more expensive lunch options, and is flexible. I of course get tired of the standard PB&J. I try and mix things up with a guilty pleasure of mine called Fluff. I’ll also grill a peanut butter & nutella sandwich once in a while. The two things that remain consistent are peanut butter and a hearty wheat bread.
I probably go through a jar every 9-10 days, I love it!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
How don’t I love peanut butter? Straight out of the jar is my guilty pleasure!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Aside from the ‘typical’ PB&J for the kids, peanut sauces for Asian dishes, PB cookies, and mixing it into pancake batter, I also like to drizzle it all over apple crisp. I use apples, raisins, GF flour, brown sugar, whatever-nuts-we-have-on-hand, butter, and oats, bake it up, and top it with creamy PEANUT BUTTER just before serving. Delicious.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I love to melt some peanutbutter in the microwave and pour it on some chocolate ice cream.
If I won this case of PB I would wrap it up and give it to my 13 year old son for Christmas, he LOVES peanutbutter and would eat it on just about anything if I let him
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
I bike race, so peanut butter becomes a staple on race weekends. It goes on bagels, bread, bananas (yum), and carrots. My favorite, however, is rolling oats and chocolate chips into peanut butter and making delicious little balls. Delicious!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:35 am
Our family would utilize a case of peanut butter by donating it to our local food pantry in Columbus, OH. We’ll use the coupon to buy some for us:)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I love peanut butter! With a whole case I’d probably eat a lot more sandwiches, but I also love to make my own homemade peanut sauce for stir-frying veggies and tofu, so that is how I’d use most of it. And let’s not forget about COOKIES!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I would make dozens of my favorite ‘double decker’ peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I have to put an extra piece of bread in between the peanut butter and the jelly for structural integrity purposes due to the excessive amount of peanut butter I use. Delicious!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Everyone in our house LOVES peanut butter….including the dogs, who come running the second they hear the jar being opened! I would need to split the case 5 ways….three humans, two dogs!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I enjoy waking up to a homemade peanut butter smoothie!!! my fav!!! We would have to make some homemade (delicious) peanut butter cookies and of course yummy peanut butter sandwiches.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I love peanut butter! I would say that it is my favorite food. I make peanut butter sandwiches with sliced bananas on wheat bread, and eat them almost everyday! They are especially good with a glass of milk.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Peanut butter is best when dolloped over a bowl of cereal with sliced strawberries and bananas!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I would donate it to a needy school lunch program in the city of Detroit
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Peanut Butter–the savior-food of college students! I remember spooning myself a helping of peanut butter in between classes; it was a perfect way to feel full and get protein.
Now that I’m a “grown up” my husband and I have a morning ritual of reading a devotion together, drinking coffee and, you guessed it, peanut butter toast. I eat mine on wheat bread–his on an english muffin with honey. Peanut butter is literally a daily part of our lives. Oh, how these newlyweds would LOVE a case of the heavenly goodness.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I think your brother is like my 5 year old daughter. She could eat peanut butter every single day, lunch and supper, and be happy! With an entire case, we’d of course let her have her fill of PB sammies.
We’d give a few to friends/family, and honestly, I think I’d have to try some of the recipes in this blog. Those lettuce wraps with chile peanut noodles look wonderful!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
Hmm, Peanut butter sauce over noodles, flourless peanut butter cookies, peanut butter and raisins on cinnamon raisin toast, Peanut butter and fluff sandwiches, peanut butter on homemade buttermilk pancakes – is where I would start and then I would search for more recipes to use the peanut butter – oh pick me please!!!! My daughter and I do love the peanut butter!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
As generic as it sounds, our favorite thing to do is spread peanut butter on fruit or crackers. My son is in the midst of his “peanut butter for a year” phase, but we’re trying to avoid limiting it to sandwiches. A case of peanut butter would be donated our the food pantry where our family volunteers. Peanut butter can be difficult to come by sometimes and our clients really enjoy this as a source of protein.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
I will ship the box to a third world country. PB has a lot of protein and oh it could feed so many!!!
Beat that.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
The lunch that fills me up the most, that nutritiously includes protein and carbs and fat, is the old-fashioned PBJ. Well, make that new-fashioned. Growing up, I was fed white bread. Now I know the value of whole grains–and so does my body. Using “Health Nut” bread, I spread on peanut butter and a little bit of fruit preserves for flavor. That keeps me going all the way to dinner, eliminating the mid-afternoon munchies that can be dangerous for someone watching their weight!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:36 am
My kids like it on sandwiches or with apples, but their favorite way is just by the spoonful!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Peanut butter sandwiches w/sliced bananas are my favorite. What can I say, Elvis had good taste!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I love some great fluffernutter sandwhiches as well as homemade peanut butter fudge, and on top of ice cream, and on fruit, and …..
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I love peanut butter… I mean, I really love peanut butter. Try it in an ice-cream-free banana split! Slice up a banana, add a spoonful of peanut butter, some chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream. Mix it up and you’ve got a quick and delish dessert! Mmmm!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I simply get 2 pieces of a yummy dark chocolate and put that yummy 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter in between.
Simple & Quick! Hope I win , so I can serve it on my upcoming wedding at home.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
My most popular cookie recipe with friends is peanut butter cookies. The unique part is that the recipe takes a WHOLE jar per batch, and therefore they are called “The Whole Jar Peanut Butter Cookies”. People LOVE them and I LOVE to make them for friends!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
Yum! Share with others! Then, make my organic brown rice cake sandwiches for lunch, make peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips, make my Asian peanut sauce, make peanut butter dog treats . . .
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I’d love to make peanut butter cookies, or use it for Thai-type dinners with peanut sauce, yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
I have always loved peanut butter and love to mix it in my milkshakes. I also like peanut butter on crackers and with honey on sandwiches. My sons have a peanut butter sandwich every day.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:37 am
lOVE THE 365 Peanut butter. I use it for smoothies, sandwiches, tofu noodle saute, cookies, and right out of the jar lol. It rocks. I would die for a case. Not to mention the price is right.:)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Give me a spoon, a banana and a jar of peanut butter and I’m in heaven smothering the banana in it.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
WOW, a CASE?! Needless to say, there are loads of ways to present peanut butter, especially the smooth version.
The obvious ways to start are sandwiches, on celery, and cookies. I even worked a catering once where the wedding cake was a peanut butter cake!
But I think with a case, I’d start getting creative and look for recipes that call for peanut butter. I’m sure I’d expand my menu options and would end up with some great recipes that I would keep around. All about thinking outside the peanut butter jar!
However, with as blessed as my life is, I’ll be honest with you. I’d keep a few jars and give the majority of the case over to the food bank, or WIC, or some other organization so others may actually eat a nutritious peanut butter as opposed to the additive filled junk they now distribute.
Thank you Whole Foods!!
With Gratitude,
Jhanna Dawson
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
For me its as simple as peanut butter on 100% wheat bread with a few globs of honey. mmmmm. mmmmm. good!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I like it on a spoon right out of the jar. Wash it down with a swig of milk.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Oh, there’s so much that CAN be done with a case of peanut butter, but I would definitely add the following to the peanut butter to-do list:
peanut butter chocolate chip cookies
peanut butter blondies
peanut satay sauce
adding PB to some smoothies
adding PB on top of my non-dairy ice cream sundaes
ants-on-a-log
apple slices with PB
PB in oatmeal
I would donate some of the jars to the local food bank, too, because really — 2 people and 1 full case of PB?!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I work at a college, so I’d love to do care packages for students that work for me with a loaf of homemade bread, a jar of homemade strawberry jam and a jar of peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
Peanut butter stirred into Oatmeal with a bit of maple syrup and cinnamon is my hands down fav and beet pre run breakfast, and now i’ve got my 8 yr old son obsessed with it.
When i’m having cravings and no desert, i get a spoonful of peanut butter and stick it in a bowl of vegan chocolate chips so they get all embedded, mmmm, ok need that now.
Chocolate soy milk, banana, peanut butter smoothies also rule
March 5th, 2010 at 9:38 am
I love Peanut Butter! It is so filling and yummy. I’ve had it on wheat bread, with bananas on wheat bread (apparently so did Elvis), in oatmeal, peanut butter and jelly.
The thing I learned is not all Peanut Butters are the same! When you look at the vitamin/nutrient content of “Natural” vs “Organic”, Organic is much more chock full then Natural, at least for the Smuckers brand.
ALWAYS read LABELS!!!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
My family makes peanut butter blossom cookies – amazing.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I eat so much peanut butter it’s outrageous! I eat it on bread, on PB & J sandwiches, with oatmeal, in cookies, in candies, in smoothies, straight off the spoon… I’ve even tried making my own at home (I was not wildly successful)!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I learned the best sandwich ever from my father and haven’t looked back since – peanut butter, banana, honey, and potato chips. Yummy!
Peanut butter is also my dog’s favorite thing in the world, and I’ve got a great peanut butter dog treat recipe.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I would take it to my family in Cuba. They can’t get peanut butter where they live, so when I visit, I always bring some.. and they LOVE it! (imagine how much better peanut butter would taste if you couldn’t have it whenever you wanted)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I would
1st eat it with a spoon right from the jar.
2nd peanut butter and chocolate milkshakes
3rd eat with a spoon again…
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I have loved Peanut Butter for all of my life and would have to share some yummy PB recipes with my friends if I had a case of it! My favorite way to eat PB is on bananas. I also enjoy some Peanut Butter on Toast every morning. And, oh, Peanut Butter cookies are the finest around! For a late night snack I like to dip cheese crackers in Peanut Butter. A case of Peanut Butter would definitely NOT go to waste around here!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
As a vegetarian, I love peanut butter! For myself, I have peanut butter, silk soymilk, toasted carob powder and peanut butter smoothies with extra stuff like hemp and wheatgrass added in. Other faves are:
peanute butter, banana and strawberry smoothies,
peanut butter, apple and cinnamon sandwiches,
peanut butter, banana and cinnamon sandwiches,
peanut butter in sauces like curries,
pancakes with peanut butter, applesauce and sour cream,
a heaping spoon of peanut butter before bed to keep blood sugar in check
Now, I also have 5 dogs – 3 german sheps, a siberian husky, and our latest rescue is a rottweiler. They all LOVE peanut butter. It goes in kongs, gets mixed in to make frozen “pupsicles” of yogurt, peanut butter & carob. And of course, when they watch me make anything with peanut butter, I end up grabbing a scoop of it and doling out “bites” to them all!
I bet we could easily go through a case
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I have 4 teenagers, and I think a case of peanut butter would last us, oh, about a month! They love making PBJs for lunches, with mom’s homemade strawberry jam, of course. Then there is peanut butter on apples, bananas, waffles, celery…everything is better with peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
My favorite way to eat peanut butter is on a sandwich with one of my homemade jams or jellies. Sometimes I add bananas too! I like peanut butter on saltine crackers, celery or rice cakes too!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Cookies, ants on a log, smoothies, drop a tablespoon in some hot steel-cut oatmeal, on a spoon right out of the jar, in Asian sauces, combined with crushed berries instead of jelly on a sandwich. I <3 peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
I use peanut butter with oyster sauce for speedy peanut noodle sauce for lunches – it’s great with frozen corn or peas stirred in. And of course it’s nice on toast, especially brioche.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Ah, peanut butter, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways… On wheat toast in the morning, as a sandwich at noon, in a yogurt smoothie as an afternoon pick-me-up and in Thai dishes for dinner. What I really love is that having peanut butter in my pantry helps me feed my family well and gives me more time to run–it’s so easy to cook with PB!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Not my recipe, but what I would do with a case of PB…
Buckeyes
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups confectioners’ sugar
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
1.In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners’ sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
2.Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
3.Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
4.Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:39 am
Me, the PB, a spoon and a “do not disturb” sign.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Peanut butter cookies, Thai peanut sauce, Szechuan spicy peanut sauce, or spread on apple slices for breakfast,
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
YUM! Peanut butter cookies:) Peanut butter on apples & celery. One of my favorite things for breakfast is a Kashi Waffle with peanut butter and sliced bananas!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I spread peanut butter on toast and then spread a mashed up banana on top.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Are you kidding? I eat it with bananas and brown sugar smeared over egg toast. My dog loves it with his milkbones.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I would make lots of no-bake cookies.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I would donate it to Central VA Food Bank for their Kids Cafe, because most kids love PB&J and it’s packed with protein!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
I’ve got two kids, so peanut butter is definitely a staple food in our house. I’ve done variations of a satay or curry sauce like the one above many times. Some garlic, curry, ginger, soy sauce…yum. I’ve used a version of that sauce with tofu, chicken, beef, even scrambled eggs, whatever vegetables I’ve got on hand served over rice or noodles. It’s a healthy, tasty and quick meal. For snacks my kids like peanut butter on crackers, or with apple slices for dipping. And don’t forget “Ants on a Log” peanut butter in celery with raisins!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Grilled Peanut Butter and Jelly and Peanut Butter Quesadillas (with or without chocolate chips!)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:40 am
Peanut butter and crackers is still a favorite snack. I love it on apples too. Actually, I go through a lot of peanut butter at my place becuase I feed it to my backyard birds. They love it!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:41 am
I would share a jar with all my loved ones who eat that yucky peanut butter with hydrogenated oils because I don’t think you have lived till you have enjoyed all natural peanut butter. There is some in my belly right now~yummmmm.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:41 am
I like to dip apple or pear slices and baby carrots in peanut butter.
Or, I will slice a banana down the middle and spread peanut butter over the sliced side.
Kim T.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:41 am
I’d make peanut butter ice cream! YUMMY!
BTW, Peanut Butter is my father-in-law’s favorite food staple.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:41 am
My dog would go berserk over a case of peanut butter. (So would my husband, by the way!)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I love peanut sauce on noodles, and I love sharing peanut butter cases
with families in need.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I would like to say that I would use it in some cute recipes, but really what always ends up happening (especially after I gave up processed sweetened PB for the real stuff and ended up loving it) is I just eat it out of the jar with a spoon. And sometimes my fingers.

What would I do with it… give it to someone who doesn’t live near me!
I know it’s good stuff but I’ve never liked it – even though I like peanuts and I like butter!
But I’d love to know more about their Sesame crop
March 5th, 2010 at 9:42 am
I LOVE baking. I have at least 5 cookies recipes along that I would love to bake for people. I also have a new vegan cake cookbook that has some peanut butter recipes. If I had a case of peanut butter, I would spread the love. My friends would thank you!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
My 6 year old son eats PB&J EVERY SINGLE DAY!! He lives on it! I am always buying peanut butter! It is truly a staple in our house!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
I enjoy peanut butter 3 times a week in my PB&J sandwiches, in peanut butter cookies, and to make celery so much more awesome.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:43 am
I must say I am with the writers brother here! I love peanut butter! I have learned over the years to not eat it right out of the jar. (it gets your hands messy).
Bannana Salads were always one of my faves. Basically bannana and lettuce. Dressing is:
1/2 cup peanut butter (smoothe)
1/4 cup Hains safflower mayo
1 tsp almond milk
1 tbl xylitol (stevia or cane crystals)
Mix till creamy. Pour over your salad and enjoy.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Mmm! Fueled largely by a (case-sized) abundance of my favorite food, I’d love to spend a “chunk” of time backpacking through all of the countries I’ve yet too see, helping out where I can, and learning as much as my brain could take in! Peanut butter is the yummiest calorically-dense food in my book, especially when it’s crunchy and organic. ;] Peanut butter makes an appearance everyday in my life as well, whether it’s on fruit, in oatmeal or cereal, as the star in my delicious grilled peanut butter/agave nectar/banana sandwiches, or simply in a straight-up spoonful!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
I make myself PB&J a couple times a week. Also will nuke PB in the microwave then put it on ice cream – cheap and easy “Magic Shell”! My dogs *love* homemade treats, so sometimes I’ll make treats with peanut butter for them. Oh, and our dogs *know* when we pull into our local (an hour away) Whole Foods parking lot – they have the saddest looks on their faces if there’s no puppy treats in the shopping bag!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
I love peanut butter! If I won a case of peanut butter I would donate it to a local homeless shelter in my community that is close to my heart. I am a social worker and see the need for food and what tastes better, has protein, and an excellent shelf life? Peanut butter, of course! If I won I could make several people happy instead of just one! Thank you for your consideration, Becky Turney
P.S. I would also send pictures of me dropping the peanut butter at the shelter for you to share with all of the fans!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
I would keep 2 jars for myself and the give the rest away for others to enjoy.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
I LOVE crunchy but never buy it because everyone else in my family hates it. I love to use it in Asian inspired dishes. My current gave includes just mixing w a little soy sauce, chili sauce and maybe green onion for an awesome peanut sauce!! Good as salad dressing or to dip chicken and blanched green beans/asparagus in!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
We eat PB on our weekly Saturday AM pancakes! My daughters also enjoy “stealing” Dad’s PB toast in the morning when he’s heading to work, our whole family LOVES peanut noodles, and, of course, PB cookies!! I would also share a few jars with our local food shelf, as I’m a social worker and we make regular donations. It helps my daughters grow up learning that we are part of community, and sharing our blessings is important.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:44 am
Love all things peanut butter! Good, old-fashioned PB&J sandwiches, LOVE soft peanut butter cookies, and I have introduced graham crackers with peanut butter and apple slices to my picky-eater son (who loves it!). I was recently introduced to oatmeal and peanut butter. At first, I thought, “ewwwwww!!” but now, I rarely eat oatmeal without it!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
I have a vegan caramel coconut peanut butter pie that is to die for.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Peanut butter is a staple in our household. My husband and I eat PB on fresh fruit as a dessert, my son eats it as most children do – with bread as a sandwich, and my daughter is hypoglycemic – PB has become a STAPLE in her diet. Whenever we go on a family outing or trip we stock up on peanut butter b/c it won’t go bad and it’s packed w/much-needed protein. We fill little Tupperware with it and she eats it w/a spoon…we pack saltine crackers and spread them w/PB. PB on celery as a snack…so many different ways to enjoy it!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Our family loves peanut butter…including the dog! First, we would eat sandwiches with it. We all have a different style sandwich. One child eats just PB, another like the classic PB&J, hubby has to toast his bread, and me I recently tried agave instead of honey and yum! We also put it in protein shakes and in crepes with nutella and bananas! Maybe I would make the dog some homemade biscuits!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:45 am
Hmmmmmmm Yum Peanut Butter! Our family has several ways to eat it, that is to say we each have our favorite method. My daughter likes it in Peanut sauce we found the recipe on this website! My son likes it in a sandwich or spread on fruit, I like it in a PB&J taco made with a brown rice tortilla. The one way we all it eat thought is a peanut butter lollipop. When in a hurry and needing a quick flavorful snack we take a spoonful of peanut butter and eat it off the spoon! We call this a peanut butter lollipop!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Straight out of the jar.
Melted, on top of frozen yogurt.
On cinnamon raisin bagels.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
My kids are at the picky stage of eating, so they eat peanut butter toast in the morning, and pb & j sammies in the evening–Whole Foods 365 Everyday Value creamy peanut butter is our fave! It tastes great, plus it’s low in sugar. So when they’re being picky, at least I know they’re eating something healthy.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Peanut butter sandwiches! My favorite is a grilled creamy peanut butter on whole grain toast with bananas and bacon. Peanut butter and Nutella is a close runner up. And of course the basic peanut butter on a spoon closes out the top 3.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
I would send it to my friend who moved to the Dominican Republic to help people. PB costs so much there and he loves PB almost as much as Paige’s brother, so whenever anyone comes to visit and they ask him if he wants anything special from the States, PB is his only request.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:46 am
Peanut-butter is enjoyed ANY way! Bagels, crackers, chocolate, alone… It should be its own food group.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I would make grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Ants on a Log, peanut butter cookies for the guys across the street, peanut butter cream cheese frosting for cupcakes, or I would just eat it straight with some celery! I love peanut butter!!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
Oh my . . . what wouldn’t I do with a case of PB?!?! We LOVE PB&J pancakes, PB and banana smoothies, PB oatmeal, PB cookies, PB&J pizza . . . oh YUM! I could go on and on . . .
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I love to add peanut butter to asian style pasta dishes, it adds so much to the flavor!
And of course, with 5 kids, we do a lot of PB and Js in our house.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I’d give it to the st. Bernard community center for their food pantry. They are ALWAYS in need of pantry items. A case of pb would be a great addition to the boxes they serve their clients with.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
My kids LOVE peanut butter! On sandwiches, On bananas on celery, and on a SPOON!! Their favorite sandwiches are banana and pb… and peanut butter ,lettuce and mayo. A case of organic would be more than AWESOME!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:47 am
I’d have to say one of my favorite ways to eat peanut butter is on pancakes with maple syrup… YUM! I also love the classic PB&J, and, of course, peanut butter cookies with milk! <3
March 5th, 2010 at 9:48 am
I am much like your brother, but I’m an adult and I still eat peanut butter in some form every day. Basically, I like crunchy variety slathered on everything, but specifically I enjoy everything from chunky peanut butter cookies with peanuts to super peanut buttery blondies. Peanut butter is THE BEST.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Oh Peanut Butter, how do I love thee. Let me count the ways.
I love thee from the first to the very last bite
My soul and body is filled, and I feel just right
For the ends of earth cannot limit the things
That I can make with peanut butter and the joy that this brings
I can make sandwiches but oh there’s so much more
We have cookies and candies and peanut butter smores
I love thee with a passion in my cheesecake
I think without peanut butter I would not bake.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
definitely lots of flourless peanut butter cookies with grape jam. peanut butter brownies are a favorite too with peanut butter frosting. my hubby would put some in with his morning cereal. lots of spoons of peanut butter, which may be the best way to eat peanut butter. also some savory dishes like peanut butter chicken satay that my friend makes. yum!!! we would love a case of peanut butter.
did i mention peanut butter buckeyes? those would definitely get made too!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
I can relate to the writer’s brother. And to this day, I have peanut butter on waffles for breakfast or make a pb and banana sandwich for lunch. Every day! I even sneak one in when making the kids lunches at night. mmmm….pb.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
PB Balls! Mix equal amounts…PB (crunchy is best), Dry skim milk, Honey. Put in fridge for atleast an hour… then roll into balls and cover with granola! YUM!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
What would I do with a case of peanut butter? Oh the possibilities are endless. From classic peanut butter chocolate chip cookies to a peanut butter swirl cheesecake, most of that case would be baked into something delicious. Of course I would eat a lot of PB&J sandwiches
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
I enjoy peanut butter almost daily! Love it on our homemade yeast waffles, peanut butter muffins, peanut butter popcorn, PB and banana sandwiches, in smoothies, or just a spoonful of it! Yum-ola!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
3 things: gooey peanut butter toast, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and, most of all, peanut butter and banana sandwiches (still my favorite after all of these years!!!!)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
thanks for the recipes!!! I love me some Peanut Butter!!!!!!!!
I would make a nice spicy peanut sauce and maybe some satay… I would make some PB and Banana sammys and I would donate a bunch to the local food pantry Camp St. Ministries in Providence RI
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
My husband and I have fallen in love with the Ginger-Peanut Soba Salad from the Jan/Feb WF magazine I picked up in-store. My husband literally said, “I would eat that salad everyday.” And getting him to salads is not small feat.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:49 am
Peanut butter and mayo sandwich!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:51 am
My husband can’t believe my obsession with peanut butter. With a case of peanut butter I would eat it right out of the jar with a spoon, on toast, on apples and bananas, use it as a topping on ice cream, make cookies and peanut butter pie, as a dip for lettuce wraps. I’ve even used it to get band-aid “glue” off of my skin. If I had a case of peanut butter I wouldn’t have to make so many trips to the grocery store to stock up. : )
March 5th, 2010 at 9:51 am
It sounds a little elvis but I like a good bread with some peanut butter, sliced bananas and honey toasted in a frying pan for a few minutes so it gets crunchy, warm and a little gooey. Oh that is heaven.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:52 am
Peanut butter is good spread on waffles, maybe with a little agave nectar drizzled on top or with Nutella mixed in.
I’ve also used it in Thai dishes… it’s one of our favorite foods!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:52 am
We love to cut a banana length wise and spread peanut butter on it for a snack and treat! Sometimes we add rice cereal on top of the peanut butter for a little crunch. Love Peanut Butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:52 am
I love to make peanut butter cookies for my twins,friends and family!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:53 am
I think I’d slather it on some apples and use it to make some Thai style dressing for stirfries or salads.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:53 am
I’m happy to discover the Binghams, they sound like a fun bunch! Just like the 365 organic *crunchy* peanut butter! My preferred method is by way of a spoon! Better than candy! Thank you!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:53 am
My mother and I love peanut butter and we always made rice krispie treats with it when I was growing up. As I’ve aged, I’ve started tossing flax seed, macadamia nuts, even cocoa into the mix. It’s delicious.
We also used to grill our pb+j, or toss it in a skillet like a grilled cheese for a super gooey, warm version. I’ve always just called it a “Fried”, which I know makes no sense! My mother still recalls my kid years, when I would beg her to make me Frieds for breakfast.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:53 am
We LOVE PB in our house. Growing upn if we wanted a snack-mom would send us to the cupboard for a spoon full of peanut butter. Later we discovered how throwing a couple chocolate chips on the spoon would double the treat! Today I mix a spoonful of crunchy all natural PB in with our oatmeal OR in a banana smoothie. Yummy- my son and I both love it! It also makes a great marinade for chciken and tofu. Mix it with OJ, Soy Sauce, fresh ginger and garlic. We could definitely put this to good use!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I like to eat it spread over organic brown rice cakes with my breakfast for a great protein boost and to help keep me full until lunchtime! I also like to make PB sandwiches with sliced bananas and cinnamon.
My mom and sister also both love it. My sister makes PB&Js all the time, and my mom loves Gluten Free PB cookies, since she can’t have any gluten! We recently made a GF Banana bread loaf and spread organic peanut butter over each slice… YUM!
Also if I got the case of PB I would be giving some to my chiropractor, since she’s the one who got me started on eating organic and her family also LOVES peanut butter!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I eat my peanut butter on Breton multi-grain crackers with Granny Smith Apples for a snack. And on Kashi waffles for breakfast. And on wheat bread with Smuckers sugar free strawberry jam for pbj sandwich. And on Low Fat Honey Graham Crackers for snack (as a special treat I sometimes melt a couple of squares of Hershey bar on it).
Not all peanut butters are created equal – we have our chosen few – and we have to keep crunchy and creamy in our house because I am creamy and my husband is crunchy.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:54 am
I feel like homer Simpson when thinking about your 365 peanut butter (insert drooling) so it must be said…with a case of peanut butter I must bathe in it! Okay after I come to my senses i I won it I would have to share the wealth with local daycares. After working at a local daycare I noticed the lack of nutritionious snacks being offered such as sugary snacks and junk, being a nutrition major this was a horrible choice for the kids and the workers because of all the sugar highs and lows caused a lot of commotion! By offering organic peanut butter you offer the kids sustanible energy and protein to build strong bodies, teaching young kids about nutrition helps build a better and healthier future. Of course I must keep some for my little baby boy, Jonas who adores peanut butter just like his mommy infact my fav way to eat pb is mixed with frozen cool whip, believe me I ate a ton of that when I was pregnant and still do! Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:54 am
If I discovered I had a case of peanut butter, I think I’d self-medicate with a lot of jelly and chocolate.
Just kidding, but I’m sure my sister and I would make a lot of peanut butter cookies and Thai-inspired food like the recipes you listed. Also probably some rolled oat peanut butter clusters and snack bars. Might even attempt making some peanut butter cups
March 5th, 2010 at 9:54 am
My son lives on peanut butter. What’s not to love? There are some days he won’t eat anything but peanut butter, and at least I know he is getting protein somehow, someway.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Every Sunday I take a lunchbag full of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to the kids in my Sunday school class (our church meets for 3 hours). This year I have 6-8 kids so that’s a lot of peanut butter and jelly. Sometimes I switch it around and bake muffins, using…yes! Peanut butter! LOL! The kids really appreciate this practice of mine as we snack after the first 2 hours. This may not be the most exciting way to use peanut butter but it’s a failsafe standard and will never stop being so because just about everybody loves peanut butter! I buy organic everything, as much as I can afford to do so, and would appreciate beyond my wildest dreams a case of organic peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:55 am
I eat PB every morning on my oats – & usually again by the spoonful for a treat later!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:55 am
Oh my goodness! I would have pancakes every morning with peanut butter and syrup. Also, I would make peanut butter fudge. Yummy!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:56 am
Like your brother, I could LIVE on peanut butter!
I love PB on cream of wheat or oatmeal. I love to make pb cookies. I love to cook Thai food, and make my own peanut sauce. There is nothing better than a fresh sliced apple and pb, or a banana dipped in slightly warmed pb. A pb and sliced banana sandwich, or a pb&j made with organic preserves is a perfect lunch. And sometimes, a spoon dipped right into the container makes a lovely snack!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:56 am
Where wouldn’t I use a case of peanut butter is a better question. I have always been a big fan of peanut butter. Peanut butter cookies were a fav as a kid. Today I make peanut butter treats for my dog, Vegas. I smear it on leftover pancakes as a quick breakfast, I layer it into spicy dinner dishes for an exotic flair, and I smear it on toast or crackers with honey, jam, or bananas for a healthy and filling snack. I also add it to smoothies, too!
I buy the 365 brand peanut butter made with valencia peanuts because I love the taste. I will keep on buying it too, because I usually do not win contests. So really this was just about sharing in the peanut butter love!
Cheryl
March 5th, 2010 at 9:56 am
I love to eat peanut butter on top of vanilla ice cream, mixed into chocolate desserts and as a base for great sauces. My dog also loves peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:56 am
I love steel cut oatmeal mixed with creamy all-natural peanut butter and chopped bananas – so tasty (and filling). My husband prefers his peanut butter straight from the jar, with a side of chocolate milk.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:57 am
I add peanut butter to my oatmeal with banana every morning. Very satisfying.
Thank you.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I would “spread it around” and share the nutty health with my pals!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I just love Organic P-nut Butter Most of the time it is Smuckers that I buy at WalMart!I have had Trader Joes and it is good. No Whole Foods Market or Trader Joes in Central Pennsylvania! The only time I can get it is when my sister goes to visit friends in Delaware. I must ask her to pick up some for me at your store! Since I have never been to one of your Markets I didn’t think about you carrying it!
But you are right, not all Organic P-Nut Butter has a good taste, it must to be the way the p-nuts are prepared. Not everyone is careful how they prepare the p-nuts.
I was just thinking the other day I should buy a case of Organic P-Nut Butter. I eat it on toast just about EVERY DAY, if I miss a day I crave it!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I love peanut butter with a spoon right out of the jar.
But I also love to use it to make spicy thai-style sauces for noodles and stir-fries.
We also mix it into vanilla frozen yogurt for a yummy dessert treat. And into plain oatmeal for breakfast.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Peanut Butter on apple slices – plain and simple. A perfectly balanced afternoon snack to make it through the workday.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I love Peanut Butter, I eat it with just about everything. One of my favorite ways is on rice cakes. I spread some creamy peanut butter on the rice cake and then drizzle some honey over the peanut butter. This is a sweat little treat. If I won a case of peanut butter, I would donate the whole case. I would want other familes who can not afford the peanut butter to enjoy this wonderful treat.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:58 am
I eat peanut butter on Ezekial toast every morning. It really helps start my day!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
• PBJs
• PB cookies
• African peanut chicken soup
• satay sauce for grilled beef and chicken
• PB muffins
• Fluffernutters
• ants on a log (PB on celery sticks with raisins)
• PB and apples
• PB and bananas
• grilled PBJ sandwiches (the BEST!)
• sesame noodles/sauce
• hummus (using PB instead of tahini — try it, you can’t believe how good it is!)
March 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I would love some peanut butter, good protein. Let’s see, some of my PB&J sandwich that everyone thinks looks ucky, I take the PB&J and mix it in a bowl until it is smooth, then throw it between two slices of whole wheat bread and call it good. I’d make up my grandma’s classic PB & banana sandwiches, bake up some PB cookies, Aunts on the Lob and PB with apples for work snacks, PB & Honey. Oh there are so many ways to use PB, I’d start trying new recipes if I had it it my cabinet, can’t let it go to waste.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I was one of those kids that ate nothing but peanut butter! I still eat it everyday! I’d make some Orange-Peanut Butter Sauce to use over sauteed veggies and tofu, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake and then I would just spread it on a toasted whole wheat english muffin for me and my daugter to enjoy for
breakfast.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
With a case of peanut butter, my twin 4 year olds would eat their peanut butter sandwiches for lunch, snack on peanut butter with apples and celery sticks and possible even use it to make sauce for dinner some nights! A very versatile food!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:59 am
Peanut butter is one of our favorite quick grabs when we’re too famished to wait for a proper meal. Usual on bread with honey and/or few cacao nibs. Sometimes spread on an apple or banana.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
My love of peanut butter started as a little kid back in N.C. I ate peanut butter on toast for breakfast, peanut butter on bologna sandwiches, banana and peanut butter sandwiches and plain peanut butter sandwiches. peanut butter on celery and apples and peanut butter cookies and pie. As a kid I also dipped my spoon in peanut butter and just ate it plain. Yummmmmm
Did I mention it’s my most favorite food?? Here is a couple of recipes using your wonderful peanut butter!
I have said peanut butter was my most favorite food and my Mom always said if you cut me, yep, I’d bleed peanut butter!
Times have changed and we eat organic now and we love the whole foods organic peanut butter!! I also live in Texas because I married a Texan and the fact that the peanuts are grown in Texas is a huge plus! Oh! I’d love to win a case of peanut butter!!!!

March 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
I would collect about 200 pine cones ( wouldn’t be hard on our 30 acre ogranic farm ). I would take half the case of peanut butter too our local small elementary school with birdseed and make plans for each class to make pine cone/peanut butter bird feeders to help get them in tune with nature and wildlife, they could take these home and watch the splendor of wildlife from their window come rite to them.
I would then to local area grocers and get flour, sugar, eggs and other baking materials donated. Our town has a commercial kitchen available for rent, I worked there and a teenager and am sure I could get the time donated. I would then gather a group of students of various ages and we would have a baking day and then a delivery day of our baked goods to our community thus spreading the ‘random acts of kindness’ idea. I think it would help to instill good values in our children.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
I love to eat peanut butter on a banana covered w/ chocolate syrup as a once in a while dessert.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
I absolutely peanut butter!! I feel sorry for those who are allergic…..my fav is peanut butter and a nice and crisp apple of choice!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:00 am
While my husband eats a peanut butter sandwich every morning for breakfast, my favorite ways to enjoy it are on an english muffin, toasted with a dollop of jelly in the middle, on a cinnamon graham cracker or on a spoon, sans everything. I heart PB.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:01 am
My best friend has a very demanding job. When he has a exceeding bad week, I like to make him peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate or peanut butter cookies with a chocolate candy melted on top. If I had a whole case of peanut butter, I could make him cookies whenever I wanted, and not just to help him feel better after a long week.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:01 am
I heart peanut butter more than anything. I buy the 365 Organic in the BIG JAR!
Here is how I eat my peanut butter:
In my morning oats with banana and cocoa powder.
By the spoonful
on a banana
on an apple
pasta
as a marinade for tempeh
in brownies
in ice cream
on anything!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:01 am
that kid ate peanut butter for ONLY ONE year? i’ve been living on peanut butter for 10 (or more) years now.
sounds strange, but i’m not a ‘foodie’ – i don’t like anything. i live on peanut butter, bread (whole grain or wheat) fruit, dairy… and coffee. i also don’t eat sugary products or products containing sugar.
(yes, i have a borderline eating disorder – what’s it going to do, kill me? when?!? i’m still here)
THANK YOU! for the peanut butter coupon
March 5th, 2010 at 10:02 am
I enjoy peanut on buckwheat pancakes with berries sprinkled on top. the peanut butter helps the berries stick! I also love dipping apple slices in peanut butter, but who doesn’t? Thank you for the very generous giveaway. I love reading your blog!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:02 am
love it on a toasted english muffin – gets a bit melted and gooey – yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:03 am
Right off my finger from the jar!
Otherwise on grahm crackers.. nom nom nom
March 5th, 2010 at 10:03 am
I add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the blender when I make smoothies–it takes them to a whole new level of deliciousness!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:04 am
Ooh, I LOVE natural PB!!
And – it’s the BEST mixed with vanilla yogurt! Just like eating candy!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:04 am
I put crunchy peanut butter in my vegetarian chili….It adds great texture and crunch…and also on my bagel……so Yummy!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:05 am
I could keep my girls in PB&J for a long time!
And we eat peanut butter toast as a bedtime snack sometimes. Also makes great gluten-free peanut butter cookies.

Alright, so let me start by giving you a little background information… I have been a vegetarian since the eighth grade (I am now a Junior in high school), and as I’m sure you can understand, I desperately NEED protein from every possible source. At first it was hard… Any vegetarian from a family not practicing an alternative lifestyle will tell you that… I’d have pasta or canned Progresso minestrone for every meal and gained enough weight to let me know I was doing it all wrong. Living with my single mom, we couldn’t really (and still can’t) afford enough tofu (or any other alternative proteins geared specifically toward vegetarians), so my mother dug deep into the back of her head to try and remember anything I could eat that would keep me healthy, and my stomach free of meat. And then it hit her: Peanut butter.
Every day since then I have had some variation of PB&J for lunch, replacing jelly with bananas, butter, cream cheese, apple butter, lemon curd – you name it, I’ve tried it. Now, when you eat THAT MUCH peanut butter, you’re bound to get a little bored with just having it on sandwiches… So I turned my attention towards the culinary world. For once, my ancestral Jewish recipe box help no answers, and I had to look to the internet. I could never have imagined some of the things people do with the stuff! cookies, and pies – of course… But I never would have thought of casseroles, pet foods, and facial cleansers! George Washington Carver, King of creative peanut use himself, even went as far as to suggest farmers use peanuts to produce adhesives, meat tenderizers, massage oils, and hair dressings!
While I personally think I would keep my peanut use to oral consumption, I’ve found that knowing it can do all of those things has inspired me to stop searching for what other people have tried and start coming up with my own uses. While I’ve come up with nothing so inventive yet, I’ve managed to use it in ways that have gained my a few odd looks… One might consider using melted peanut butter in place of other condiments with sweet potato fries, for example. All this business about peanut butter has sparked my family’s interest, and now, while I remain the ONLY vegetarian, I’ve found that they’re giving a lot more thought to alternative and healthy dietary choices. And that’s all I really want – to bring good health to my family. And if a case of peanut butter is too overwhelming for my family… I guess I’ll just have an even higher protein diet!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:07 am
I would eat apples with peanut butter and PBJ Oats everyday more than likely than not.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:07 am
Since my son is allergic to dairy proteins, we love the fats that peanut butter can provide, and he adores it daily. A case of peanut butter would go quickly around here – from sandwiches to cookies, alone on a spoon to eating it on a banana.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I’ve always loved peanut butter, it sustained me in college as the perfect around the clock snack or meal. I grew up on peanut butter sandwiches, and still use it in cooking.
This past year I realized how wonderful peanut butter was when I began working with hungry children, for many their families cannot afford regular meals. Thankful there are programs like free breakfasts and lunches at school and after school programs which serve dinner. These programs even provide weekend backpacks of food! In the backpacks are jars of peanut butter, to a child who worries about where their next meal will come from and who worries about their family members not having food, to be able to take a jar of peanut butter and other food items home to share is pure magic! This summer the backpack program I am involved with hopes to provide 50,000 units of peanut butter + other food items to children across the New Mexico! So for me, I would share a case of Peanut butter with others!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:08 am
What a timely post lol. I just posted a picture on facebook a couple nights ago of my boyfriend showing me the ‘proper’ way to put peanut butter on celery. I like cutting the celery in chunks and then dipping right in to the jar. He, on the other hand, believes in spreading the peanut butter out on an entire piece!
While I do enjoy peanut butter on celery (and apples, that’s my favorite late night snack) you just can’t go wrong with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich – brings back memories of being 6!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:08 am
If we won we would say Yum, Yum, Yum. There are four in our household ranging from 6 to 17 to 46 and we all love peanut butter. We eat it on sandwichs, celery, crackers, and spoons. We put it in cookies, mix it with pickles, marshmallow, bananas, you name we like.
My son used to hoard jars under the sofa and his bed along with a spoon for emergencies when he was younger. He has outgrown that, thank goodness.
If we won this he could rest easy knowing we would never run out of peanut butter-LOL.
I would also share with my neighbors and the local food shelters. That is something I already do to show my kiddos the great feeling of helping others.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:08 am
I would make lots of peanut butter cookies for my husband!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:09 am
I would donate it to a food pantry…no gourmet stuff, just feeding hungry kids GOOD food in High Point, NC.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:10 am
I love peanut butter with everything. I love peanut butter and dill pickle sandwiches. Or skip the bread altogether and spread the peanut butter right on a big slice of dill pickle. So satisfying! And no I’m not pregnant.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:10 am
I love to use peanut butter in peanut butter cookies!!
I love to use peanut butter in my cooking when I get the chance,just as much as I like using it in my baking.
I eat peanut butter,honey and banana sandwiches too!!! So good!! (Chocolate added to the sandwich gives it a different taste too!)
There are so many yummy ways to eat peanut butter!!
When I was pregnant,at first I couldn’t stand the smell of peanut butter..and later that was a lot of what I ended up eating to get my protein..(since I had high blood pressure issues).
We went through a lot of peanut butter.
My husband and son enjoy peanut butter too!
If we got a whole case, I think we’d share some with some people who could really use it..and I’d make a bunch of peanut butter cookies. (No worries about using up all the peanut butter on cookies!)
I like creamy style and my husband likes the crunchy style!
I can eat peanut butter and not worry about the salt content !! So nice… It’s hard to eat a no-salt,low salt diet!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:10 am
Peanut Butter is great. PB&J’s in the mornings, it makes a great salad dressing, peanut butter cookies have been my fav forever.. not to mention the joy of eating it out of the jar… you can’t go wrong..
March 5th, 2010 at 10:10 am
ooooo PB! Let me count the ways.
-Heated up to a sauce consistency and poured over chocolate ice cream
-Swirled in my homemade brownie batter
-Dolloped on banana slices
-In almost ALL my Thai recipes
-PBnJ and marshmallow
-PB and chocolate chip cookies
There are too many to name!
Most importantly though…for my doggies inside their Knogs…keeps them busy for a long time.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Well, my husband and my 1st grader both eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches every day for lunch. So, we go through quite a bit of it. Also, one of my favorite treats to make is my peanut butter custard bars… mmmm. If I had a case of peanut butter, I would make a whole lot of different things with it. Definitely including some ideas I read in the comments below and those PB&J pancakes you suggested!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:12 am
I LOVE peanut butter!! I eat it as a quickie in between classes just off a spoon. I only have a ten minute break, and they don’t like it when the teacher is late
March 5th, 2010 at 10:13 am
Thai peanut sauce is my addiction. I always have a container ready to go in the fridge. I love it on wraps, noodles, or a red cabbage salad. My husband uses it every morning on my homemade whole wheat multigrain toast.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:14 am
We are a family of four, ovo-lacto vegetarians, so peanut butter is a great source of protein and happiness in our home. There are so many amazing uses for peanut butter, as a dip for apples, ants on a log, savory thai dishes, etc. But what we love Peanut Butter in the best is our sandwiches. We all have our own take on the classic PB&J (on whole wheat bread). My youngest daughter likes the traditional PB&J with strawberry preserves, my other daughter likes PB and Honey (organic clover), my favorite is PB and Banana, and my husband likes the oh-so-unhealthy fried PB & Banana, a la “The King”, Elvis Presley. (uh-huh!)
We <3 Peanut Butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:14 am
My husband is a peanut butter fanatic! I like to add it to my morning oatmeal but he eats a spoonful a day with a handful of dark chocolate chips. We go through a jar of peanut butter a week!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:15 am
I love peanut butter! Smooth, crunchy, honey flavored… it’s all fantastic. I have peanut butter every morning with an apple or banana. I also love it in Asian cooking, peanut butter cookies, or just straight out of the jar. If I win the case of peanut butter, I’ll definitely be trying your recipes above. I love exploring new ways of preparing familiar foods! : )
March 5th, 2010 at 10:15 am
I still am that little kid that you speak of that eats nothing but peanut butter. I always have a scoop of peanut butter on the side of my kashi Autumn Wheat cereal in the mornings topped off with blackberries, blueberries and bananas. After my workout, I will make a peanut butter protein shake followed by a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and for snacks, I dip all sorts of things into my peanut butter from vegetables to crackers or make an apple, peanut butter, lettuce sandwich. This is just the beginning of my experimentations with peanut butter and I once made pasta sauce with peanut butter. It was great.
It’s funny that I saw this on Twitter because I go through a family sized can of peanut butter by myself in about a week and a lot of people kind of know me from eating so much of it. The first conversation I ever had with my girlfriend of 2 years was about peanut butter!
I wouldn’t keep it all for myself, though. Peanut Butter is a great thing to send overseas to impoverished nations or to local food shelters because it has such a long shelf life, is inexpensive, and because it has so many calories. I would want to send some, if not all of it overseas to less fortunate people so they can experience the greatness that is peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:16 am
I use Peanut Butter to make ice cream, peanut butter cookies, and to dip carrots, celery, and apples, as well as the classic PB&J and Fluffernutter!
Best of all, I give it to my husband when I need some peace and quiet — a spoon and a jar of PB (one of his favorite foods) keeps him busy and it’s hard for him to talk! Haha!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:16 am
I’ll take peanut butter on a spoon, midnight or noon; on some bread, with some fruit spread; as a cookie, in a pancake, or peanut butter cornflake bars that are no-bake; on some noodles or in a soup, peanut butter is the best darn goop!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:17 am
Ah peanut butter! It is the food of the gods.
I have peanut butter on wholewheat toast for breakfast almost every morning.
When I eat pancakes or waffles, (wholewheat of course), I have to have spread peanut butter on them instead of butter, and real maple syrup.
Peanut butter and honey sandwiches are great for when need a snack in the afternoon.
When I’m at my desk at work, and need a quick pick-me-up, I eat a giant spoonful of peanut butter, and that tides me over till my next break.
Peanut butter on celery is fabulous healthy snack too!
What would I do with a case of peanut butter? Well, I would eat it course!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
i would probably eat it way to quickly.. i too have a confession.. i could live on whole foods organic peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Mmm…peanut butter banana stuffed Challa French toast!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:19 am
Wow!! A whole case of peanut butter?? Where to start?? With 6 kids, we’d be in Peanut Butter Heaven!! The obvious would be the sandwiches they’d take for lunch every day, then there are their dad’s favorite peanut butter cookies, my favorite peanut butter bread recipe, and for my 4 year old we would of course be making peanut butter playdough (1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey and 1 cup non fat dry milk).
March 5th, 2010 at 10:20 am
Peanut Butter is in the same category of “magic food” as bacon and beer. There is never a wrong time to have peanut butter. PBJ’s are a staple for my kids, and whatever they don’t eat goes straight in my gullet (no calories for leftovers). Even awesomer is mixing two of the magic foods, a Peanut Butter and Bacon sammich. Good, crisp bacon is the key, on wheat toast.
And you haven’t lived until you’ve had a Peanut Butter Burger. Yes, with bacon is accepted and encouraged.
As you can probably tell, I’m a little more of a gun-toting meat-eater than the usual Whole Foods crowd. That is part of the magic of Peanut Butter, it can bring people of all types together. If Congress sat down around of a table of PBJ and milk, we’d get this health care debate settled right quick.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:20 am
I love a plain old PB&J any day. My son loves peanut butter and banana wraps in a whole wheat tortilla.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:20 am
If I had a case of peanut butter I would give it to my local food pantry. With today’s hard times and tough economy food pantry’s are taking a harder hitfrom people needing help and are getting fewer donations.
On second thought, after reading a few of the other responses, I’d give half of it to Sharon to take to Haiti and the other half to the food pantry or a homeless shelter.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:21 am
Before working out at the gym
others may eat a protein bar—
I just lick a big ol’ spoon
of peanut butter from the jar!
-[]————[]-
Since my gym’s across the street
I go there every day
So a case of peanut butter would meet my needs
cuz my muscles would shout:
“HOORAY!”
..
\__/
-[]————[]-
March 5th, 2010 at 10:21 am
I would get a case of our north feorgia apples and go around the corner to our elementary school and share peanut butter in apple hollow. Teach the kids about good nutrition
March 5th, 2010 at 10:22 am
I would love to have a case of peanut butter! My husband and I are both vegans and we eat peanut butter every other day in a variety of ways. We love to make stir fry with peanut sauce, pb cookies and of coarse there isnt many things better then pb on toast.
Thanks for the chance to win!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:24 am
I would learn to like peanut butter if I had a whole case of it! And if I couldn’t learn to like it, I would be making a whole lot of cookies for friends and family to enjoy!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Chocolate and peanut butter! My favorite decadent desserts make good use of both of these
March 5th, 2010 at 10:25 am
I love peanut butter! Lots of Peanut Butter Cookies are a given but one of my favorite snacks is banana roll ups (whole wheat tortilla, peanut butter and a ripe banana). They’re great for packing in lunches or to throw in a back pack for a healthy snack on the run. But most importantly, the dogs… my four dogs get a lick of the good stuff each and every night when my 9-year old pug takes his medicine.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:25 am
Mixture of peanut butter, raw oats, powdered milk and honey…all folded into a huge ball that is consumed with a glass of ice cold milk….optional additions….coconut, powdered sugar and corn syrup or agave in lieu of honey, dried fruit such as cranberries, chocolate chips…yeah, I know, lots of calories but sooo good.
With a CASE of peanut butter, which would not last long at my house, I’d make this recipe, pb and apples, pb and marshmallow cream (fluffer nutter sandwiches), peanut butter mixed with soy sauce over whole wheat noodles with slices of green onions….etc.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:26 am
My kids are pretty obsessed with peanut butter as well. They eat other things..but they do LOVE natural peanut butter!! With allergies to dairy, wheat, and soy it is a staple in school lunches. They also love it on snacks! They eat it on almost everything, carrots apples, bananas, celery, rice cakes,in cookies, the famous PPJ sandwich(which my older son takes to school EVERY day)!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:27 am
My two favorite ways to eat peanut butter are in vegan chocolate peanut butter pie and in spicy peanut sauce served over tofu, broccoli, and quinoa.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:27 am
With a whole case of peanut butter I’d definitely make a batch or 5 of vegan peanut butter filled chocolate cookies! I have so many yummy recipes that use peanut butter, so I’d make mostly cookies to send to my friend stationed in Afghanistan. With a whole case I could make him enough to share with his whole unit!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:28 am
Besides the usual peanut butter on toast for breakfast, with apples for a snack, and in cookies, I will trying some those recipes above! I especially have my eye on the Lettuce Wraps!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:29 am
I love crunchy peanut butter on any type of pasta as the main ingredient in the sauce (along with shallots, onions, garlic, leeks, peppers, or any other kind of vegetable). I also use a similar sauce with creamy peanut butter tossed over any kind of vegetable (just toss in the final 5 minutes of cooking).
March 5th, 2010 at 10:29 am
I love peanut butter. I try to buy almond butter and sesame butter instead because I dont love them as much. I would like to eat pb all the time and say the hell with the world.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:29 am
What wouldn’t I do with a case of PB really? Bathe in it? No, no, but really I enjoy PB every single day by the spoon, in my oats, in my cottage cheese, with apples, with carrots…I’m not sure there is anything that it doesn’t go with!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:30 am
Peanut butter- how do I love thee? Let me count the ways!!
Peanut butter and apples.
Peanut butter in celery.
Peanut butter right out of the jar (BIIG clean spoon, dip only once, then get ANOTHER BIIIG clean spoon)
Peanut butter and chocolate (dark or white, does not matter!
In fact a Lindt or a Nestle White Chocolate bar works just FINE!!!)- melt the chocolate, mix it with the PB — Divine!!
Peanut butter and marshmallow cream!
Peanut butter, jelly, cream cheese and butter on a bagel!EVRYTHING kinda slides around after a while, but it is SO good!
PB and Banana Sandwich!! Go ahead, add some jelly too!!!
PB (chinky or smooth) on Spaghetti — yum!!!
Scuse me I am HUNGRY!!! Now where did I last leave that jar of Peanut butter!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:31 am
I enjoy 365 Everyday Value® Organic Creamy Peanut Butter on Granny Smith & Cameo apples several times a week…Yum! It’s great before or after a workout. Have to keep my pantry fully stocked…it’s so addictive!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:31 am
I have to say that I am on the “Crunchy” payroll but my daughter is “Creamy” so when we buy PB we have to buy both. By the spoon, in sandwiches (especially PB, banana & honey sammy), cookies, or in asian sauces…it’s good no matter what!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:32 am
I am a native Californian, who is living in France as an Au Pair for two kids until next December. With a case of peanut butter (which by the way, is neearly impossible to find here), I would show the French all of the possibilities and goodness of peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:33 am
I love to eat peanut butter mixed with vanilla ice cream: let ice cream soften and then add peanut butter and freeze together. A healthier way of eating peanut butter is to add it to rice or quinoa pudding. Yummy!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:33 am
i am on a budget(like lots of other people)and PB&J sandwiches for lunch are a good economical choice. plus i never get sick of them.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:34 am
My husband does not like to eat in restaurants, so when people want to get together with him he brings homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to share with his friends. The sandwiches are made with Whole Foods 365 Organic Peanut butter. He makes a great sandwich, so I would keep him well-supplied to continue to make them if I had a case of peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:35 am
I love peanut butter with jelly on toast in the morning or on celery for a snack. My husband likes to eat it straight out of the jar!
And my kids love peanut butter cookies.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:35 am
Eat it, of course! With 2 kids, we go through a lot of it!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I love peanut butter on my English muffins to add protein! I also make an organic treat called “Peanut Butter Pillows” for my five dogs. They absolutely love them!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:36 am
I have an amazing curry recipe that combines peanut butter with coconut, cumin, ginger, garlic, and other spices. Blend it all together and coat a stir fry of cauliflower, onions, carrots, and potatoes. MMm, it’s so good!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:37 am
We love peanut butter just spread on just about anything, in smoothies, or put into recipes. I can’t wait to look at all the recipes listed above.
A case of peanutbutter wouldn’t last too long at our house, but we would love one. But — for some reason — I don’t think we are eligible to win either. We’ll just have to go plant some more peanuts!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:37 am
We love peanut butter on apples and banannas, with chocolate, or just plain peanut butter sandwiches and, of course, straight out of the jar.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:38 am
Here at our home we love to eat organic peanut butter and jam muffins. They are so yummy!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:38 am
The best sandwich ever is natural wheat bread(made by catherine clark bakery-you guys sell it) with crunchy peanut butter on two pieces. Slice a banana, add honey and the banana and then slap the bread together-yum, yum! So good!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:39 am
My roommates and I enjoy peanut butter by the spoonful, usually. But I’d have to say in a recipe, peanut sauce HAS to be my favorite application. We would eat like queens with a case of peanut butter…lots of Thai food. Have a wonderful day!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:39 am
Love adding it to savory sauces. It’s a flavor shortcut for just about any sauce you can think of.
Quick Mole Negra: Spices, onion, chile, chicken stock, Peanut butter, unsweetend chocolate.
Quick Curry: Spice mix, peanut butter, coconut milk. Great with chickpeas and rice.
Quick Thai-ish PB chicken: PB, garlic-chile paste, chicken stock. Toss with cooked chicken, great for leftovers. Also excellent with rice and green beans.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:40 am
Wow… With a case of peanut butter where do I start? Of course we would use it on toast, our peanut butter and banana sandwiches, in oatmeal, peanut butter cookies, (moms favorite) pad thai with peanut sauce, use it with chocolate and dip pretzels, and even right out of the jar! Just call us the peanut butter family! We love it!! I’m sure we would even share a few jars with friends and family
March 5th, 2010 at 10:41 am
I had no idea the 365 PB came from west Texas! Makes me want it even more!
This morning I baked 6 dozen PB cookies to ship to a soldier in Afghanistan. I could bake so many more with a case of PB! And maybe bake some for my family!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:42 am
The kiddos love PB and J and PB on apples and cookies… pretty much they just LOVE peanut Butter!
murphykatt[at]yahoo[dot]com
March 5th, 2010 at 10:43 am
Would not have to worry about my snacks before exercising…My favorite pre-workout snack: apple with peanut butter!! Love peanut butter in oatmeal before a morning run, not to mention soft peanut butter cookies as a post-run treat…I’m okay just eating from the jar too!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:46 am
If I won a case of peanut butter…my husband would eat it all, one spoonful at a time. He loves it almost as much as he loves dark chocolate (*almost*, I said)!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:47 am
gluten free PB cookies with oatmeal and choco chips for the entire neighborhood!!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:47 am
I absoluely love peanut nut butter (and all other nut butters) and try to eat almost every day. Most of the time I simply pair peanut butter with an apple, banana, celery, or carrot. I like to mix it in my oatmeal, pancakes, and cookies.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:49 am
What would I do with a case of peanut butter? Well there is a Backpack food program in an elementary school here. Food is sent home on Fridays in a backpack so that the children are eating. this elementary school was noticing that on Mondays alot of the children were eating 2-3 breakfasts. They had eaten very little if not at all the entire weekend. This school is populated by children living in the government housing projects here. There is a huge prescription drug problem here and many of these parents are selling their foodstamps for drugs. So, I would donate the entire case to this program because peanut butter is a nutritious food that kids love and its very hard to get donated.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:49 am
I slather it all over my face including lips, let set for 1 hour (licking around lips should be avoided until the hour is up, then lick away!!) If using smooth, I just rinse off with warm water. If using chunky, I massage my face a bit before rinsing off with warm water. I do this once a week for amazing skin!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:50 am
I love peanut butter. I eat it every morning on toast with honey. I smooth it on pancakes, waffles, bagels and more. I go through a lot of peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:51 am
one of my favorite breakfasts come from Powerhouse Cafe in Winter Park, Florida. i always get their “powerhouse fuel.” this wonderful breakfast sandwich consists of a pita lined with creamy peanut butter, filled with ripe bananas and strawberries, drizzled with smooth and sweet honey, and sprinkled with some crunchy granola. Mmmm, the flavors and textures are fabulous! the creamy peanut butter ties it all together!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:52 am
With remodeling going on at our house right now, we are eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but we also like to make peanut butter cookies and peanut butter dog treats. I’ve tried putting peanut butter in smoothies for more protein, but the kids did not go for it.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:53 am
I love peanut butter as part of sauce with soy sauce on noodles or broccoli.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:54 am
I stir it into my oatmeal, with cinnamon, honey, and a sliced banana.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:54 am
Oh, gracious…a whole year of peanut butter would make my son SO HAPPY! He’s a peanut butter and jelly kid…every single day for lunch. We’re military and before the son, we used to move a jar of peanut butter 1-2 times before buying more. Now…easily a jar a month!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:54 am
If I had a case of peanut butter, I’d open the first jar and have it on a slice of whole wheat bread. The next jar would be spread an a toasted croissant with strawberry preserves. The next jar would be eaten all by itself on a spoon. And on it would go. A case would go far, but likely quite fast.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:55 am
I would throw an awesome PB&J Party!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:55 am
Peanut butter rocks! I use it almost daily. Since Ive been watching my calories (I’ve lost 65 pounds over the last 9 months Diet & Cycling),I use it as a filler when I want a snack or I have extra calories to use up! I just grab a tablespoon (80cal+-) and eat it plain while watching a movie or tv. Its awesome! Its great for you too. Good protein and good for you fat! What more can you ask for? If Im not eating PB, Im eating a handful of peanuts.:) If I was to win a case, I’d use it in assisting my next 20 lb loss by eating it all! Probably make a few PB Cookies for the kids and family too
March 5th, 2010 at 10:57 am
Peanut butter and jam cookies! I have a great recipe for peanut butter thumbprints that you fill with jam. Its a great version of the pbandj. With a case of peanut butter I would make a batch for all my friends.
And I have to say – I think my boyfriend may be related to your brother… he loves the whole foods peanut butter so much that we have to buy a ton every week – its his first snack every morning and he usually ends the day with a bowl of peanut butter and some chocolate chips. A case would go a long way towards satisfying his peanut butter obsession!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:58 am
What wouldn’t I do with a case of PB? Homemade PB cups, gluten-free oatmeal PB cookies with chocolate chips, African peanut stew, Massamun Curry, PB granola bars, dairy-free PB ice cream with cocolate covered peanuts, spoon it into steel cut oats. The possibilities are nearly endless. A case of my favorite PB…wow – that would be some good eating!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:58 am
We love Peanut Butter, Apple Butter, & Banana Sandwiches…and, of course, peanut butter cookies!
March 5th, 2010 at 10:59 am
My favorite is in the morning, peanut butter on an english muffin drizzled with some honey and sometimes slices of banana or apples….. a great way to start the day!

what would you do with a case of peanut butter?
answer: the same thing I always do — eat it right out of the jar using a tablespoon, if nearby; otherwise, use my fingers to scoop it out. (a case or a jar would be eaten the same way).
March 5th, 2010 at 11:01 am
I love love love Peanut butter! I eat it everyday on rice cakes, apples, bananas, on graham crackers and just about anything you can think of! I even mix it with cottage cheese. I cook Thai food and cookies with it! So you see if I had a case of peanut butter, I would make sure it was put to good use……so please let me win the PEANUT BUTTER!!! If I was stranded on a dessert island and I could take only one food – you guessed it – peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:01 am
Must say I love love love peanut butter! Here’s a treat from my childhood – mom would make us sandwiches with a spread that included peanut butter, shredded carrots and raisins all mixed together with a teensy bit of mayo. When this was chilled and spread on the bread it kept us kids going ’til after sundown.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:04 am
peanut butter balls!
mix honey, peanut butter, chocolate chips into a ball. roll in coconut flakes. put on plastic wrap and refrigerate.
yummy!!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:05 am
Eat it on bananas and most importantly with a spoon out of the jar.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
My daughter is a very picky eater and underweight. The one thing she never says no to is peanut butter – she eats it by the spoonful like a popsicle! I don’t let her eat it all day every day, but it helps give her the protein and fat she needs and being able to giver her 365 Organic would just be fantastic!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
PB Sauce on noodles + vegggies, PB on toast, PB cookies, PB/chocolate…
March 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
i would make lots of dan-dan noodles, (cold sesame/peanut noodles). also lots of peanut butter oatmeal cookies and i would also make peanut butter banana sandwiches with honey. oh and i haven’t made north african chicken stew in ages. donating it to a local charity would be great too, they always request peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
Hello Whole Foods! First, my whole family loves Whole Foods. It’s become a regular event for my two teenagers to go together to Whole Foods on a shopping trip. They come home with fruit cups, cupcakes, salmon candy, teas, and whatever treasure they find.
If I did find myself with a case of peanut butter, I would donate it to Animal House http://www.animalhousehelp.org/. We have volunteered there on and off for years. It’s a wonderful place with dedicated staff. They use peanut butter to fill the Kongs (http://www.kongcompany.com/worlds_best.html) the dogs get when they turn in for the evening. It helps keep them occupied and the neighbors appreciate the quiet.
Animal House can always use the peanut butter and even dogs can appreciate *real* peanut butter from Whole Foods!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:07 am
For breakfast, I love to have a bowl of non-fat Fage with peanut butter and honey. It’s the perfect combination and healthy too!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:08 am
No, I don’t think all peanut butters are the same! That’s like comparing apples and oranges.
The 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter is dog gone good and rises way up there above the other brands! We eat it on about everything under the sun and my wife even makes homemade dog treats with it. We make it a point to buy organic and local when possible and we support our proud state of Texas! Yehawwwwww
March 5th, 2010 at 11:08 am
I have 2 large dogs that chew on Kongs all day – for a treat, I fill the Kongs with peanut butter! They love it and the peanut butter disappears from my cupboard fast!! And I confess that the smell of peanut butter makes me fix myself a simple peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread- nothing fancy here, just plain livin’ with peanut butter!!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:10 am
I eat peanut butter on (almost) any and everything. Right now I’m having peanut butter and banana on a whole wheat pita! I do, of course, go for apples, carrots, and bananas with peanut butter allll the time. PB makes life better. Always.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:11 am
I eat it straight out of the jar! I also love or on waffles or pancakes with butter and raspberry jam on top. I also like to microwave it so it’s really soft and spreadable.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:11 am
They say bread is the staff of life. I’m pretty sure that it’s the peanut butter on the bread (preferrably gluten free from your bakery) that holds body and soul together. Today I am making the trek from Springfield, Ohio, to the Lane Ave., Columbus store, to purchase your fresh honey peanut butter. One container each for myself, my husband, my mother, and my sister. Peanut butter is one of the few edible pleasures I have in life. In my twelve years living with Crohn’s disease, I have found that the simpler the food, the easier it is for me to digest. I eat a lot of eggs, I eat a lot of rice, and eat a TON of peanut butter. Peanut butter travels with me on assignment (I’m a photojournalist) and peanut butter persuades the dog to sit still for ear cleanings and toe nail clippings. Peanut butter is represented in at least six varieties in my kitchen, topping ice cream sundaes, sticking sandwiches together, or sometimes enjoyed by itself on a spoon. Peanut butter truly holds my life together. With a case of peanut butter, I would live my life!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I would take a case of peanut butter to work with me. No one is allowed to bring peanut butter in the house, as my son is allergic, so I get my peanut butter fix at the office. First off, I would replace the communal jar of peanut butter in the break room that I raid on a regular basis and never replenish. Then I would make PB&J’s for lunch every day, put PB in my oatmeal, snack on PB on apples and celery. Christmas Cheer is a year-round food distribution organization that is located near my office. I don’t know how many jars of PB is in a case, but I would also buy a few loaves of bread and a case of jelly and share.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:12 am
I love organic peanut butter in a chocolate protein shake. Also, it is a great snack to have a sliced Granny Smith apple with a side of peanut butter and honey. The kids love peanut butter and jelly waffle sandwiches for a quick breakfast. Another great snack for the kids is peanut butter on a rice cake, graham cracker or even just a spoon.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:13 am
Wow. A whole case? Well, aside from the obvious peanut butter sandwiches, I’d mix it up with some ramen noddles and broth. Nom nom nom. I love doing that!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:14 am
On a mashed banana, topped with wheat germ or chocolate chips…. On an apple, of course,…. On a sandwich with wasabi miracle whip…. Or on a spoon (but only because it immediately soothes my itchy allergy throat- I swear!…. And I realize that only one, possibly two of these are actually healthy
March 5th, 2010 at 11:15 am
I eat peanut butter by the spoonful when my sugar level is off. I am not a full blown diabetic but sometimes it gets off and my diet keeps it regulated.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:16 am
I try enjoy peanut butter nearly every day…my day is incomplete without it. I love it on top of my oatmeal, on whole wheat english muffins with a banana. I also eat it straight out of the jar, on a spoon. I smear peanut butter on cookies…and brownies. It makes nearly everything better. I LOVE PEANUT BUTTER!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:17 am
I love peanut butter in all kinds of things, but I think my two most favorite are peanut butter cookies (I have a killer recipe) and peanut sauce for Sate. When I was a kid, I would eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar. Of course, I don’t do that now… no, never.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:17 am
My son didn’t eat peanut butter exclusively but there was time as a toddler when he would carry around a bucket of peanut butter with a spoon inside. When ever the urge hit, he would plop down on the floor, open the bucket and get himself a spoonful. He called it, “peanut butter on a poon.” When he got older he tried it on a variety of foods. The most unusual and probably his favorite was a bog old dollop on a chocolate fudgesicle. He’s 31 now and more aware of how important it is to have variety in his diet. Peanut butter is still a favorite of his but now it’s eaten in moderation.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:17 am
My grandson has autism and is on a gf/cf diet, which limits his food choices greatly. He loves pb and banana sandwiches on gf bread. He eats between 6 and 8 pb sandwiches a day. I am also gf and enjoy a treat of pb with apples or a batch of homeade gf cookies. Our family would be thrilled to receive a case of organic peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:18 am
I really just love peanut butter on warm toast. I like it partially melted.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:18 am
…and by the way, I posted it on Facebook, but forgot to here. If I had a case of peanut butter, I’d keep a jar (or two maybe) for myself and donate the rest to the Issaquah food bank. They’re always in need of stuff like this.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Love peanut butter but, if I won a case, I would donate it to my church for The Peanut Butter Gang. It’s a teen group that makes peanut butter sandwiches and distributes them to the hungry and poor. I love seeing young people get involved! Thank you!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:19 am
I enjoy peanut butter straight up. Crunchy, straight from the jar, usually on the end of a table knife because I intend to slather it on celery or a piece of bread, but when I pull the knife out, the big glob of crunchy goodness is just sooooo tempting … it hardly ever makes it to the intended accompaniment. Straight down the gullet!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:20 am
I go through a LOT of tubs of peanut butter. I buy it so frequently because I use it to make puppy treats. I make them then I take them over to my local City Pound. It feels nice to give something, and I know my dog likes them too. They are way healthier then store bought treats and I know right when they are made and how they are made.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:20 am
Oh YUM! peanut butter smoothies! Asian peanut sauce on tofu & rice, chocolate-peanut butter cups, the list goes on. I think the winner should have a daily blog with their peanut butter experiences!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
If I won a case of peanut butter I would eat it of course! Since I am dairy and gluten/wheat free I especially love to make chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Peanut butter is my favorite food group! Seriously. With a case, I would make lots of peanut butter cookies; peanut butter & banana bread; peanut sauce for vermicelli noodles–and, of course, eat lots of it plain!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Spread it on a hot English muffin and watch it melt down into the nooks and crannies.
Split a banana and spread peanut butter on one side, then replace the top and eat. A quick healthy snack.
The ages old GORP that we used to take hiking and camping, line a baking sheet with wax paper, layer on chocolate, peanut butter, honey, granola, dried fruits. Stir carefully while heating in a slow oven. If too moist add more granola or Grapenuts. Let cool and cut into bars. Wrap in wax paper. May get very gooey on warm days.
It makes a good balance for Asian sauces and stir fry.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:22 am
[...] there is a blog on the Whole Foods web site up today about organic peanutbutter. It also has a picture of a real hunk of a guy. The really good [...]
March 5th, 2010 at 11:23 am
Wow….I think I’m hyperventilating just thinking about the possibilities! I don’t know how many jars are in a case, but I’m sure enough to include a couple in our food pantry donation, and share with our family. We go through jars of natural peanut butter so quickly in our house. It would be so amazing to have a case of the best pb to ’spread around’! My husband eats pb toast for breakfast, while I prefer pb&j on a toasted english muffin or whole grain waffle. My 10 year old takes a pb&j almost every day for lunch, and on crackers for snacks. I love to eat a little on the end of a spoon or with a slice of apple or banana for a quick boost throughout the day.
Without a doubt, though, I love to bake with peanut butter most of all. My 4 children..32, 30, 21, and 10..,friends, family and co-workers love it most of all when I bake with peanut butter as well!! PB with chocolate in cookies, truffles, buckeyes, etc..is positively the food of the gods!! I can’t think of another flavor combination I love more. Everyone should know how incredible homemade peanut butter cups are…or how much better s’mores are with a smear of pb under that chocolate…mmm…mmm…mmm! I promise not to be selfish. I would bake, bake, bake…and then share, share share!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:25 am
I could make a lot of ice cream with a case of peanut butter. I made banana macadamia last night, but I bet banana peanut butter would be good, too. Banana chocolate. Banana rum. I’d even attempt PB&J ice cream using a friend’s homemade jams.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:27 am
My son Elijah seems to be like your brother! He doesnt always win this ongoin battle though! We put pnut butter on just about everything and in quite a few random things too. I personally have to have it in my smoothies =) we go through lota of pnut butter here!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:28 am
I love the PB and chocolate combo, especially around holidays because the cups are in different sizes that allow the PB filling to be bigger portions! I also love love LOVE the classic PB & J and toasted bread. And, there’s nothing wrong with PB and apple slices.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:29 am
PB is my go to for everything – a basic dip for apples and carrots (not a fan of celery). All my favorite things to bake have PB in them. Plus, there’s the PB krispy treats. And the occasional PB treat for my dog!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:30 am
Whole Foods 365 peanut butter has big impact on my life. This creamy greatness along with some natural local honey (from WF!) make for a tasty sandwich every morning for breakfast. Great fuel to start the day. My blood sugar used to bounce around in the morning, but not anymore. Natural PB provides healthy fat and boosts my LDL! I rave to all my friends to ditch the oil-soaked commercial brands and use this wonderful peanut butter! I have my whole family doing it!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:31 am
I enjoy my peanut butter the way Elvis did… if he were vegan. Slathered over whole wheat bread, smeared with Earth Balance, covered in mashed up organic bananas and finished off with agave nectar… then pan-fried to perfection.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:32 am
a case of peanut butter, organic at that! Assuming 12 jars in a case, I would give two jars to my Dad, ‘cuz he loves it so much he sneaks mine when he comes over. Then I would take another 6 jars and donate that to our local foodbank, because peanut butter is such a nutritious food. Then I would take one jar and make a couple batches of peanut butter cookies to share with friends and neighbors. That leaves three jars for PB&J lunches. Awesome!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:33 am
I like peanut butter for a quick pick-me-up when I’m in a rush and don’t have enough time to cook a meal.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:33 am
Simple – Peanut Butter is the BEST comfort food and it reminds us of when we were little!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I confess, sometimes I enjoy peanut butter straight from the jar. I guess my favorite is with prefectly ripe bananas. It is hard to stop with just one.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I know we are not to the extent of your brother but everybody needs peanut butter in their diet daily. The best part is a fresh new jar and being the first person to scoop out a big heaping spoonful to enjoy. Let alone a peanut butter, butter, and sugar sandwich!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:37 am
I love putting pb&j in between waffles.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:37 am
OH.MY.GOD! i love PB! craved it like crazy with my pregnancy and I still can’t get enough. my dog loves it almost as much as i do – she gets it as a treat. I guess that a case of PB would last maybe two weeks at our house!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:37 am
I love peanut butter cookies!!! So, of course, if I win, I will be making and sharing cookies. I also enjoy peanut butter stuffed celery and peanut butter balls(a mix of honey , dry milk and peanut butter)…with a free case, I would be able to share with my grown children and the local food pantry, too.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:37 am
Lots and lots of apples and peanut butter and peanut butter with cinnamon on top! For everyone!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:39 am
We love peanut butter on apples and celery and our puppy loves it in his Kong!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:40 am
peanut butter w/ apples is my favorite snack ever! but if i had an excess of peanut butter i would definitely use it to incorporate into desserts – peanut butter cookies, peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes – i would go crazy!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:40 am
I love putting a big heaping Tablespoon of peanut butter in my morning shakes. Adds some protein and some healthy fats and keeps me satiated for the morning. Who doesn’t love peanut butter AND I can’t wait to try that gluten free peanut butter cookie recipe on the Whole Foods website. Looks awesome!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:41 am
Peanut Butter and Bacon Sandwiches! Sounds weird, but try it, they’re good!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:41 am
I love it straight from the jar but we love it a multitude of ways in our house. My 3 boys love it in sandwiches, sauce for Thai dishes, with celery and raisins for “ants on a log” and even in made up recipes for “cookie balls”.
So what would I do with a case of peanut butter? Live it up, enjoy and have fun coming up with new ways to use it with my 3 creative sons.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:42 am
Of course the most common use for peanut butter in our house (or any house probably) is sandwiches. But, I’ve also used it in smoothies and that is ultra filling and nutritious. When I was a kid I used to put peanut butter on my pancakes instead of syrup. That way I could carry the pancake around with me. I taught that little trick to my kids and now they prefer peanut butter to syrup. My sister puts peanut butter in her oatmeal which she thinks is great. I think it’s too heavy though (because oatmeal is already heavy). Anyway, I love peanut butter and so do my two kids. We’d love to have a chance to win some!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:43 am
I knew we are not to the extent of your brother as we do have some great healthy meals but EVERYONE needs peanut butter in their diet daily. The best part is a fresh new jar and being the first person to scoop out a big heaping spoonful to enjoy……the top seems to taste so much better. Need I mention peanut butter, butter, and sugar sandwiches; a little bit of heaven there!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Ah, thanks! A single person who works at home, I hadn’t had breakfast yet (10:40) in total disinterest of anything I’ve been having lately (could not look at another egg!). What a great idea (again!) to have peanut butter on a nice crisp Wasa Oats crispbread and freshly pressed coffee! Great nutrition and taste…and easy! A case? Please! One jar for me and the rest to Bienvenidos here in Santa Fe. Bienvenidos does a great job filling cracks of social services and keeping people fed. As all the comments show, peanut butter is universally loved and adaptable! Wish someone would share a few of the home baked cookies…
March 5th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Peanut butter… mmmmm… My babies were both “cooked” on peanut butter – I ate spoonfuls of it every day while I was pregnant. Now, at 3 & 1, they both love it, too!
If I had a whole case of it, I’d start with our favourites, peanut butter & honey sandwiches. From there, I’d move on to Peanut butter cookies, and then finish up with some Pad Thai with peanut sauce.
Mmmmmm..
March 5th, 2010 at 11:49 am
A year ago a destructive 100 mph downdraft of wind killed virtually all the songbirds in our neighborhood, & the silence was deafening for the rest of the summer. My heart was broken. So I’d share some of the peanut butter with the birds, making birdseed balls with the PB to hold them together.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:55 am
If I won a case, I would probably keep 1 or 2 jars and give the rest to my daughter’s Sunday school. The teachers provide snacks for the kids during Sunday school. It would make me feel better to know that the kids are eating snacks made with organic ingredients. They could have “ants on a log”, celery with peanut butter and raisins on top, or apples with peanut butter, etc.
March 5th, 2010 at 11:57 am
Sandwiches are great, but I really love to cook with peanut butter. Among other things, it makes wonderful sauces (I can’t wait to try the cocnut curry peanut sauce you’ve got posted here!).
March 5th, 2010 at 11:57 am
I consider myself a peanut butter connoisseur. My friends think I’m slightly too nuts about nuts in general (pun intended), but peanut butter–crunchy–is perhaps my greatest food obsession. I love peanut butter in and on pretty much anything: on/in brownies, mixed with dried cranberries into oatmeal (try it–very tasty), as part of my favorite sandwich (peanut butter and banana drizzled with honey), or standing alone. Packed with protein, a filling snack, and richly satisfying, I’ll take peanut butter any way it’s offered!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:58 am
Peanut butter on toasted whole wheat bread with really ripe banana slices.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I love peanut butter! It’s great for breakfast on toast, filling and delicious. If I had a case of peanut butter, I’d look for new recipes or create my own and share my creations with my friends and family. My dogs love peanut butter too. We would definitely put that case of peanut butter to good use.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
I would use the peanut butter to make a lot of peanut butter cookies, peanut butter bars covered in ganache, and peanut butter brownies.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
My kids love to make “Banana Boats”: bananas scooped out like a canoe. Then we add peanut butter and top with raisins, granola and mini marshmallows.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Mmm, peanut butter is one of my most favorite foods. One of my favorite quick throw-together breakfasts is two toasted waffles spread with peanut butter and then with sliced up apples in it. It’s a delicious breakfast sandwich! I also LOVE peanut butter and banana sandwiches, moreso than PJ&J. I’ve also tried it in certain smoothies, and that’s really tasty. I’d love to win a case of peanut butter to make all my favorites, plus a bunch of new recipes involving it!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I would use one jar to make Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls (see recipe below). Mmmm! They are so yummy!
I would donate the rest to those in need. I think peanut butter is one of the best non-perishable foods out there to give to the hungry. It’s so nutritious and satisfying, and you really get a lot of it for your money.
Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls
Ingredients
1 ¼-Cup Creamy Peanut-butter
1 ¼-Cup Confectioners’ Sugar
60 Pretzel Snaps
1 Bag Milk Chocolate Chips
Directions
In a mixing bowl thoroughly blend peanut butter and confectioners’ sugar together using mixer. Place pretzels on a cookie sheet. Roll peanut butter mix into small balls. Press each ball onto the top of one of the pretzel snaps. When you are done, put the cookie sheet in the freezer for 10 minutes. Put chocolate chips into bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Dip each peanut butter pretzel ball into the chocolate. Be careful not to get chocolate on the bottom of the pretzels or they will stick to the cookie sheet. Put the finished chocolate-covered peanut butter pretzel balls in the refrigerator to cool for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
We would hide it. My husband loves peanut butter–to the degree that I started hiding it because the jar was always empty when I wanted a sandwich. He would even smooth it out with his spoon- like I wouldn’t know. When my parents came to stay with us recently mom told me I was picking on poor husband…then she wanted a sandwich and discovered the practically new jar was already half empty. It’s a great family joke now–where is the peanut butter hidden??? And not to worry, husband still gets more than his fair share.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:04 pm
Organic Peanut Butter is Great!
I had to stop eating peanut butter for many years when it started making my skin flush (not good!)
I recently had the chance to try organic peanut butter and my skin did not flush!
So don’t tell me there is no difference between regular and organic PB – I KNOW better.
So now I’ve been making up for lost time by enjoying lots of organic peanut butter.
Besides the normal uses for PB&J sandwiches and topping crackers my favorite use for it is to top pancakes.
I spread the PB on top of the pancake, cover with fresh fruit (sliced strawberries or bananas work great), and finish it with honey – Yummy!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I enjoy it as what I call “peanut butter pudding.” I microwave a big dollop of it in a mug for about 30 seconds, then add vanilla yogurt, stir it up and enjoy.
And of course, PB&J and PB&H (honey) sandwiches, peanut sauce for chicken, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter on apple slices or a banana, peanut butter toast, etc. — and those “cookies” you make by melting peanut butter with butterscotch morsels, stirring in corn flakes, letting it harden in the fridge, and breaking it up into pieces. (Other people use those crunchy chow mein noodles instead of corn flakes and call them “haystacks.”)
By the way, Whole Foods’ vegan PB cookies are among my favorite cookies ever! Another favorite PB treat is a Girl Scout PB sandwich cookie with a smear of Nutella on top…but I digress…
March 5th, 2010 at 12:21 pm
I LOVE peanut butter! I put peanut butter in my oatmeal, my cream of wheat, my smoothies, on my sandwiches:with honey or jelly, on bagels with cream cheese, in cookies, in or on most deserts for example: on ice cream, on chocolate chip cookies. For breakfast or a quick snack I put my PB n bananas and granola bars. See I wasn’t kidding!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:22 pm
LOVE IT! Back when I was a child growing up in Virginia my friends and I made a sandwich with peanut butter, mayo, bacon and lettuce. It was YUMMY! I’ll have to try a healthy version of that today. What would I do with a case of peanut butter? Why share it, of course! I’d “spread the gospel of peanut butter” to everyone. I love your organic peanut butter and I agree — the peanuts make the differnce. There should be a Mirada Law for peanut butter: “You have the right to good peanut butter; if you do not have a good peanut butter, one will be given to you.”
March 5th, 2010 at 12:27 pm
Hi Paige,
I love hearing the story about your brother eating peanut butter sandwiches, my own daughter does the same every day. I can understand why your mom “allowed” your brother to eat that everyday; peanut butter sandwiches make my daughter happy, it is good for her and she eats them without crying big fat tears, which is what she would do if I tried to force her to eat something else.
if I were to win a case of peanut butter for a year, I would continue to make two peanut butter sandwiches five days a week for the little one, would make Chicken Stir Fry with a spicy peanut sauce, would add peanut butter to my now famous Lamb Tagine, would try to make peanut butter cookies (I would need that much peanut butter, as my baking skills are very limited, and many batches might be required to produce decent results). With all the cooking I do, I can find tons of uses to that case of peanut butter: I am also sure a bottle or two would make it to my friend’s tables.
i might even go back to my childood habit of eating sesame seed flat bread with peanut butter, it is never to late to reconnect with happy memories.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:28 pm
I love crunchy peanut butter on a crisp apple!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I enjoy peanut butter on apple slices, and also in home-made peanut butter brownie cups!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
I spread peanut butter on a flour tortilla shell and the put a whole banana on it, roll it up and eat it! Sometimes I’ll sprinkle cinnamon on it before rolling it.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
I love peanut butter! It is a staple for me since I am vegan and depend on nuts as a source of protein. Right now, I put a tablespoon in my quinoa flakes every morning and mix with some fresh fruit. I also have peanut butter and sliced apples every day for a snack. I use 365 natural peanut butter in the creamy form and would never buy another brand. I love it!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
This is an easy answer. I would stock our shelves because we KNOW not all peanut butters are created equally, and then I would give some to friends that really could use that little extra help at the end of the month when finances are tight until payday.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:37 pm
PB and banana smoothies, PB and honey sandwiches, PB and banana sandwiches, PB and crackers, PB and chocolate, PB cookies, PB…
March 5th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
My daughter and I eat peanut butter every day so we would work our way through that case in no time!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:38 pm
I just bought my first jar of PB from you last week and love it! I will never buy the national brands again, they just don’t compare! I spread it on an apple and a pear. I mashed some with a banana, too! Great afternoon snacks!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:39 pm
i love peanut butter on a whole wheat english muffin with either fresh raspberries or banana, yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
I would definitely eat more peanut butter and try some new recipes! But I would only keep 3 or 4 jars and give the rest to my local food pantry. Peanut butter is hard for them to keep on their shelves and is a healthy food for hungry families.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:45 pm
Pb&j sanwiches, in oatmeal, cookies, pb& chocolate smoothies!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I would eat a lot of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches (which I like more as an adult than a kid) and lots of thai peanut noodles.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
Just today, I baked these cookies with 365 peanut butter http://tinyurl.com/y9nx8jy
What I love about peanut butter is how versatile and nutritious it is for a college student like me. I was able to make these with 5 simple ingredients from WF that I keep under my college bed. If I had that much peanut butter, I’d simply go wild; it’s a perfect, cheap protein in my book.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
I would eat it with a spoon.
March 5th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
First I would share it with my family and friends!
Both my sons love pb&j sandwiches. My husband also loves it with everything and makes shakes with it. I would also make peanut butter cookies! Would love to win a case from Whole Foods plus it’s organic!!! We like the organic smooth kind the best!
March 5th, 2010 at 12:54 pm
My favorite way to enjoy Peanut Butter is a simple Peanut Butter Sandwich. Nothing fancy, no jelly, any type of bread but definitely overloaded with delicious Peanut Butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:00 pm
peanut butter blondies that i make myself, with some chocolate frosting
:)
March 5th, 2010 at 1:05 pm
f I had a case of peanut butter I would probably do the same thing your brother did and eat it everyday, because peanut butter is quite possibly one of the best things on this planet.
I would share my peanut butter case with my friends and plan a peanut butter feast with delicacies that range from peanut butter pancakes and cookies to Thai noodles with peanut chili sauce to delicious peanut butter mousse.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
Peanut butter on PB & Nutella sandwiches, peanut butter in banana-yogurt smoothies, on banana bread..
Can’t wait to introduce my 9 1/2 mo. old to peanut butter!
And always the crunchy kind.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
I would give part of it away to a local food shelter and use the rest for my daughter. She’s two and loves peanut butter.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
I love peanut butter drizzled over kefir with frozen blueberries! It’s also great with baby carrots or apple slices as a snack!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:15 pm
I LOVE peanut butter on my oatmeal. I eat banana oats every morning with a dollop of pb AND of course granola bars and who can forget oatmeal cookies too!!
YUM!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
Oh Wow! We LUV peanut butte in or house! With a family of 5 we eat a lot of it! We smear it on apple slices, celery, crackers, tortilla roll ups, peanut butter cookies, bagels and PB&J sandwiches. It is part of our daily lives…my favorite breakfast is toast with peanut butter and a little strawberry preserves…my daughter is hypoglycemic so she carries peanut butter around with her; when she has low blood sugar, she just eats a spoonful. I can’t think of many things better than peanut butter! Thank you for the opportunity to share my thoughts and win!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I would keep one jar for myself to celebrate winning (and to eat by the spoonful when needing protein and comforting!) and I would give the rest of the case to North Myrtle Beach Helping Hands..a non-profit who gives away stocked food for those in need near Myrtle Beach. They list peanut butter as their number one need for clients as it is nutritious, delicious, and easy to store.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:26 pm
Hmmm… we eat SO much peanut butter… what would I do with it?
My favorite way to eat peanut butter is on top of waffles with sliced bananas… yum!!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
Oh peanut butter! How do I LOVE thee? let me count the ways…I love the traditional pb & j sandwiches, pb on toast, pb on apples & bananas or as a fruit dip, I like it on my homemade whole grain waffles, in my peanut butter banana smoothies, peanut butter cookies, and on and on….but my favorite thing to do is eat it straight out of the jar by the spoonful with a big glass of milk–yummy! Just ask those who know me, peanut butter is my absolute favorite!!! and being a poor college student, it is a major staple in my diet! let’s just say a case of peanut butter would be put to very good use!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:31 pm
How do I enjoy peanut butter? On a spoon. A big spoon!
If I won a case of peanut butter, I would bring it to my church and place it with the other items to go to the food pantry in our area.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Cookies, and with noodles and red chili paste
March 5th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Share the weatlth with friends, make PB&J’s, peanut butter cookies, crackers & peanut butter, buckeye balls and try a few new recipes… My family loves peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
I love PB swirled in hot oatmeal. Yum! And banana and PB on a whole wheat wrap is also another fav afternoon snack.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:38 pm
Peanut butter is certainly a staple in my diet- every day! I love mixing ricotta cheese, unsweetened cocoa powder, stevia and melted peanut butter drizzled on top. Delicious for a dessert that is not full of sugar! I also love it with chocolate chip angel food cake. Just take a spoon full of peanut butter and a bite of cake- YUM! Peanut butter really does go with just about anything and I have probably tried it with everything!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
I make peanut butter cookies, that my husband says are the best on the planet (and he’s tried a lot of them), even when I make them wheat- and egg-free.
But if I had a whole case of peanut butter, I would definitely keep a jar or two for cookies and then donate the rest to my local food bank.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:39 pm
I LOVE peanut butter on crackers topped with a slice of banana. Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:43 pm
PB with my morning oatmeal, cookies, or a snack with my veggies. Sometimes I add it to my greek yogurt.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:47 pm
We actually have PBJ very infrequently, but I still go through plenty of pb. Some ways we use it:
peanut chicken stir fry
pb&j muffins
pb chic chip pancakes
pb cookies
pb and banana sandwich
as a dip for apple slices
pb pie
pb fudge
and very occasionally for baiting a mouse trap
March 5th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
I would make fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with it, I would bake cookies with it, I would make pancakes with it, I would make thai food peanut sauces with it, I would make smoothies and milkshakes with it, I would eat it with a spoon out of the jar. I love peanut butter and it’s one of the only foods that I cannot live without.
March 5th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
My husband eats it on toast with bananas while I mix it with raisins and dip celery into it. And we can’t forget about our dog~she loves peanut butter especially if I make her peanut butter biscotti (thanks Rachel Ray for the recipe). But really, we can all eat them:)
March 5th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Ooh, me? All that peanut butter is going into baked goods, especially anything that involves chocolate and peanut butter. PB&C is my mom’s favorite flavor for everything, and she (as well as my friends) will be getting a lot cupcakes and such if I got a whole case of peanut butter
March 5th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
We eat a TON of peanut butter in our house. My kids favorite lately has been a GRILLED PB& J. Use whole wheat bread, spread earth balance blend on each slice, then spread on pb and your favorite jelly on the other side. Grill as you would a grilled cheese, just use slightly higher heat to brown it faster without the pb and jelly running all over the place. My daughter likes me to mix the pb and jelly together first and then spread and grill it
They also love pb on top of their pancakes and then drizzled with maple syrup. I use pb in masaman curry, peanut sauce, on top of ezekiel bread with banana, african peanut stew, in whey protein smoothies, pb frosting for brownies, pb choco chip cookies, pb in my healthy version of no-bake cookies….the list goes on and on! 
March 5th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Give half to my stepson who loves it (to save him money) and make a whole lotta cookies of various kinds (and freeze a bunch), make some bread (another freezer option), buy lots of young celery (delicious snack), and whatever other recipes I have. Yummo!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I’d love to respond with a comment that further innovates peanut butter, yet I am quite one-dimensional with my usage of the caramel colored, nutty, blend of heaven. I am a purist and employ a no frills approach consuming by the spoonful; simply peanut butter and a utensil. I am far more discerning with the brand of buttery goodness I choose and can indisputably say that Whole Foods 365 creamy peanut butter wins best in class…peanuts and salt, period.
What would I do with a case? Eat each jar…by the dollop!
March 5th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I am a huge fan of peanut butter! One of my lunch staples growing up (and now still) is a peanut butter and honey sandwich. So delicious! I also like to use peanut butter for some of my favorite recipes/dishes/snacks:
Peanut butter biscotti
Peanut butter muffins
Peanut butter banana muffins
Peanut butter and jelly muffins
Peanut butter scones
Peanut butter oatmeal
Stir fry with peanut sauce
Peanut butter, banana, chocolate smoothie
Peanut butter and banana sandwich
Peanut butter toast
I think the sweet and salty combination is amazing, so for a yummy snack I like to melt a little peanut butter and dip frosted mini wheats, graham crackers or apples into it. And of course it’s good right off the spoon, too!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:01 pm
Everything from eating with apples and bananas to making bread and cookies, Making sauces for noodles and salads. Peanut butter smoothies, and of course PB & J and PB & banana sandwiches. The list just goes on and on …
March 5th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
I am really picky about peanut butter! But, when the butter is good I love to add it to my ice cream. Nothing is better than that! Add a few banana slices, peanut butter and chocolate ice cream!
My daughter loves peanut butter! She has taken crackers and peanut butter in her lunches since kindergarten.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:07 pm

Yield: 1-1/2 to 2 cups
March 5th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
What would I do with a case of peanut butter? That is a loaded question! An easier one would be what wouldnt I do with it?! I’d start off with cookies, sandwiches, snacks. then move onto some thai food, some treats for the dogs, and so much more! limitless possibilities, and healthy (in moderation) to boot!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
i eat a peanut butter sandwich on arnold whole wheat thins almost every day for work. occasionally i will rotate it with oatmeal topped w/ 1-2 scoops of peanut butter! im addicted to peanut butter so a case won’t last long in my home!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
I would make all sorts of desserts with it!! I love baked goods with peanut butter and chocolate. I also would make homemade peanut butter cups. Delicious!!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I could practically live solely on a case of peanut butter. A good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the best way to bring back good old childhood memories. Add potato chips and milk and I am transported back into my elementary school cafeteria! Not to forget that these days, just a spoonful of peanut butter is a great pick-me-up for a quck snack.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Oh goodness – we enjoy it on whole wheat toast, in pb&j cupcakes, in peanut butter cup martinis, on apples & celery with raisins, heck even by the spoonful!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
On pancakes, apples, or in Rock-Star Cookies – peanut butter, dark chocolate, & oat flour. To live for!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Smooth or chunky. It doesn’t matter. Peanut butter is one of those foods that can be eaten breakfast, lunch or dinner and sticks to your bones! Plus, peanut butter is flavorful and delicious–Chinese chicken noodles, paired with celery or banana–but, my personal favorite: whole wheat bread, chunky PB, cayenne and raspberry preserves. YUM.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
Peanut Butter is a staple on any backpacking trip. I wouldn’t leave home without it!
March 5th, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I love spicy peanut dipping sauce for Summer Rolls, and a peanutty noodle dish.
March 5th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I LOVE experimenting with peanut sauces. Peanut butter is what gives them their flavor. A peanut sauce for noodles is way better than boring buttered noodles. I love a spicy peanut sauce to drizzle on grilled chicken. And of course my 3 year old loves his peanut butter and homemade berry jelly sandwiches. A case of Heinen’s organic peanut butter wouldn’t last long in our household! (My goodness I’m craving those peanut noodles now)
March 5th, 2010 at 3:00 pm
I’m an athletic 22-year-old, so I wake up HUNGRY. Luckily, peanut butter makes a killer addition to a “power breakfast.” Here’s a surprisingly way to make a DELICIOUS and different bowl of oatmeal.
1/2 cup 365 organic rolled oats
1 cup water
1 banana
1 TBSP (or 2 if you’re really hungry) 365 organic peanut butter.
Add water and oats to a small saucepan and cook until oatmeal has reached your desired consistency (longer cooking time and less water=thicker oatmeal, shorter cooking time and more water=thinner oatmeal).
Slice banana into thin circles and stir in oatmeal. Remove from heat and pour oatmeal into bowl.
Add peanut butter on top of oatmeal, spreading it out as much as you can on the top of the mixture. Wait 1-2 minutes, and the peanut butter will melt. Then enjoy!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Peanut butter, banana and honey on toast!! Best snack ever!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Mix a couple of tablespoons of Peanut Butter with some Protein Powder to dip your apples in for a snack that stays with you!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:25 pm
We enjoy eating peanut butter just by the spoonful. Always before I work out, such wonderful protein and gives me that extra kick to get my work outs going.. Love making PBJ’s and cookies are always a hit. Always add a little peanut butter to spaggetti sauce. I have a wonderful recipe for Peanut butter pound cake, oh yum.. I could most def, use a case… Only thing, I can’t figure out any way to drink it YET… I did say YET??
Blessings I love your site.
Ellie
March 5th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Baked in brownies! And of course, PB on celery sticks. Or carrot sticks. Oh heck, just spoon it out and eat it straight!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:32 pm
I love peanut butter in lots of ways, but my big PB crush right now is in home made Thai-inspired peanut sauce/marinade with fresh ginger and lime and Sriracha hot sauce. I found a recipe for it somewhere online, and it’s really good on chicken or tofu or anything, really. It’s even good to just bake it and eat it alone. Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:42 pm
Peanut sauce! Chunky peanut butter + soy sauce + rice vinegar + sesame oil + sugar + pressed garlic + sesame seeds, whisked together for 30 seconds until smooth; delicious and super easy! Can be used for satay dip, or even better, can be tossed with shirataki noodles (takes 30 seconds to rinse those with hot water), for an awesome quick meal.
March 5th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
I love peanut butter on apple slices! It’s such a good dessert!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
I like to take Green & Black’s dark chocolate and dip it in all natural (peanuts only) peanut butter… Way better than a Reese’s!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 3:51 pm
By the heaping spoonful & everyday just like today!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:09 pm
I enjoy my peanut butter simply: on saltines, or in a PB/Banana sandwich. However, if I were to win a whole case – I’d make a Thai vegan feast for my co-workers at the Green School at which I work! Widening their culinary perspective would be FUN!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
I’d give at least half of it to my nephew. He loves peanut butter! I would keep the rest because its a good, cheap way to fill up teenage boys and its a key ingredient in one of our favorite cookies: Resses Peanut Butter cup cookies YUM!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
Keep my family happy!! My oldest daughter and her Dad are Chunky Peanut Butter Fanatics and the youngest and I love our smooth! The answer to ‘what do you want for breakfast?’ each day is PB Toast and ‘what do you want for lunch?’ is PB and Jelly. A case of peanut butter would make the girls happy because when Mom forgets to buy it – tragedy has befalled on the Camous residence!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:20 pm
I would make tons of cookies as well as have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches-maybe second to grilled cheese.
Love it to bits!!!!!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:31 pm
peanut butter is so good it’ll make your tongue slap your brain!!
I would give some, keep some, share some, and eat some…it is just too stinkin’ good!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:36 pm
A big, fat Kosher dill pickle sliced lengthwise on a sandwich with peanut butter makes a great snack anytime.
March 5th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
My kids love rhe classic BP&J sandwich and a friend just gave me a delious peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipe (I will have to compare to yours). But hands down, my favorite peanut butter recipe is for a peanut butter bar cookie that I have been making since my kids were young. Of course my mom used to make a chocolate covered peanut butter ball when I was little that was mighty good.
Yum, makes me hungry just thinking about it. I think I will make one this weekend. Thanks
March 5th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
A little peanut butter and soy sauce makes the greatest asian dipping sauce ever. Especially for those homemade springrolls. Cut up some red bell pepper, shave off some ginger, and mix soy sauce and Peanut Butter in. Pour that over cooked spaghetti and add the free range meat of your choice. Serve with spring rolls. Welcome to heaven. But I will be honest, peanut butter on toast is one of the greatest and simplest pleasures there is.
March 5th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
If I had a case of peanut butter I would probably go and get stranded on that deserted island I imagine myself on when asked “If you were stranded on a deserted island and could only have one thing to eat, what would it be?”. It’s peanut butter, always has been. But, here in the states, I love to melt it and drizzle it over vanilla ice cream. Yum!
March 5th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
Peanut butter in oatmeal is the best! Especially if you throw in some chocolate chips or jam.
March 5th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
We go through peanut butter in our house like crazy! We use it for dipping apple wedges into, a multitude of sandwiches – with or without jam, making peanut sauce for noodles, peanut butter toast, peanut butter cookies, and for stirring into hot rice with a few dashes of gluten-free tamari. My husband alone eats at least 2 peanut butter sandwiches *daily*. And, sometimes, just scooping out a big spoonful to savor is all you need.
March 5th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
My husband and I used to be long-time Whole Foods shoppers, but alas, economic hard times have put a dent in that.
A case of organic peanut butter would put us in protein paradise as a primary foodstuff, and as an addition to homemade sauces, soups, and baked goods of many kinds. A few examples of things I’ve done with peanut butter recently:
- as an ingredient in a sauce for freshly picked fern fronds;
- as an ingredient in an Asian peanut-slaw dressing recipe;
- as an ingredient in a West African vegetable soup recipe;
- as an ingredient in protein shakes;
- as a filling for chocolate sandwich cookies;
- as a topping on broiled, buttered bagel slices (mini “toast” rounds) – then topped with fresh banana slices;
- melted into a cup of steaming hot cocoa, with a dash of powdered chili pepper;
- spooned onto vanilla ice cream;
- spooned onto shredded wheat with diced fresh mango and raspberries;
- stirred into hot oatmeal or quinoa with dried banana chips and shredded coconut;
- melted onto hot steamed broccoli or sauteed collards & onion with a twist of lemon jc & zest;
- spread plain on multi-grain bread, topped with chopped dried apricots
- straight off the spoon!
March 5th, 2010 at 5:23 pm
most mornings I eat peanut butter and mom’s homemade jam on toast…its the best.
March 5th, 2010 at 5:24 pm
I would take it to work (I’m a school counselor) and give it to kids who probably need it. And, of course, I would keep one for myself =)
March 5th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
What an amazing prize, because I am the biggest peanut butter fan on the face of the planet. If I had a whole jar, I would probably just sit and eat it with a spoon. But, I also love peanut butter on apples, on waffles, and mixed in with cereal, popcorn, and oatmeal. So far, everything tastes better with peanut butter, delicious!
March 5th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
MMMMM!!! Peanut butter cookies! And sandwiches. And wraps with honey. And peanut butter fudge. And peanut butter bread. And more cookies. And give the dogs a spoonful so we can watch them eat it and laugh. And more sandwiches. And probably have to look up new recipes with that much peanut putter in the house! But with 5 of our 12 kids at home still, it probably wouldn’t last all that long anyway! They LOVE peanut butter!!! :c)
March 5th, 2010 at 5:57 pm
I like scooping up peanut butter (crunchy) with Granny Smith apple wedges.
March 5th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
As much as we LOVE peanut butter in our house (on & with everything & even all by itself on a spoon), if I won a case of peanut butter, I would donate it to our local food bank. It is a fabulous source of protein & would fill so many hungry bellies!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Oh I love PB a LOT o ways. I love it in my oatmeal in the morning. I love having it on an english muffin and topped with some dark chocolate. I love it on a PB and strawberry sandwich. I love it to dip my apples in. I love using it in my Thai Tofu recipe. I love it just on a spoon all by itself!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:13 pm
I was a fussy eater as a child, and peanut butter sandwiches were one of the few foods I would eat. When I was pregnant, I found myself eating peanut butter straight out of the jar, so much so that I finished a 3 pound jar (from the military commissary) in 6 days!! My daughter was a fussy eater like me and would eat only a few foods, one of which was peanut butter sandwiches. Now she has a son who is a fussy eater, and guess what? He will eat peanut butter AND JELLY sandwiches!! I guess boys aren’t as fussy as girls!!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Peanut Butter might be the reason I get through my days! I LOVE it and I eat it ALL day long! My favorite thing to make with peanut butter is these super delicious peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip cookies….everything yummy in one GIANT cookie! I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Thai chicken pizzas and peanut butter is the base for a delicious that pizza sauce:)
March 5th, 2010 at 6:23 pm
I buy 6 jars of peanut butter from Whole Foods at a time because the nearest store to me is 3 hours away! A case would of peanut butter? I’d feel like I’d died and gone to heaven!!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:24 pm
I would make all the peanut butter cookies and peanut butter fudge, peanut butter toast , and peanut butter and jelly sandwichs that my family and I could possibly consume!! To me basic is best!! Can’t get enough of it! Also peanut butter on crackers!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
I am probably just as obsessed as your brother when it comes to peanut butter. I have at least one a day!! I can’t say that I have any new fangled recipe or anything like that, I am a basic girl and just love a good ol’ peanut butter sandwich, sometimes with jelly, but never with fluff!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I spread my no-stir organic peanut butter (smooth or chunky, I like variety) on Suzie’s Kamut Puffed Cakes. I pack a layer of organic seedless grapes (preference: red) on top. A more healthy, not-too-sweet peanut butter & jelly snack!
March 5th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
I use peanutbutter to make cookies, peanutbutter and ginger ice cream, peanut sauce for stir fries, and plain out of the jar into my mouth. mmmm
March 5th, 2010 at 6:40 pm
I keep it pretty simple with my PB & Honey. Wheat bread, peanut butter, slivered almonds, honey, and thinly sliced bananas (length wise). Do it in that order so the almonds stick to the peanut butter and the honey runs down in between the almonds.
March 5th, 2010 at 6:57 pm
I like to enjoy peanut butter scooped out on a spoon! It is also yummy on a fresh piece of toasted whole wheat bread!! Our family of 7 LOVES Peanut butter!!
March 5th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
The best way to eat peanut butter is right out of the jar with a spoon….sometimes I use a fork or knife.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
OOh I love PB. My fav way to eat it is in oatmeal. I make a big bowl most mornings and stir in a tbsp. of PB. Yum.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
With a family of peanut butter lovers, I have often said, that in a pinch, I could put a jar of peanut butter and four spoons on the table and we would have dinner. We enjoy peanut butter at every meal. For breakfast, we add a couple tablespoons of peanut butter to smoothies and oatmeal, or melt it in the microwave for a minute and stir it into plain or vanilla yogurt and then top it with fruit and gluten free granola or use it as a dip for apple slices. Peanut butter spread on waffles drizzled with maple syrup is another favorite. My four year old, who will eat next to nothing, frequently requests banana slices topped with peanut butter for breakfast. For lunch, we enjoy the traditional pbnj, ants-on-a-log, or peanut butter on graham crackers. We even enjoy peanut butter at dinner. We mix it with soy sauce to dress noodles, add a little rice vinegar and use it as salad dressing, or a marinade for chicken. When added to crushed tomatoes, squash and black-eyed peas, peanut butter becomes a sauce for a yummy African-style vegetarian stew. Mix with sauted onions and peanut butter becomes a unique sauce for (Dakota) pork chops. If we won a case of peanut, it surely would not last very long!
March 5th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
My favorite sandwich is PB and sliced banana! I made the G-F cookies for Xmas, they were delicious. I want to try it in pancakes next.
My dog loves PB, I share with her.
PB is a good source of protein for young and old kids!
All PB is definitely Not the same! The grocery/mass market stuff is full of sugar and “other” oils, strangely tasteless.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
A case of peanut butter would last a family (or anyone) a very long time. We love peanut butter in our home…one of our favorite treats is peanut butter and bananas spread atop toast or crackers.
What I would do with a case of peanut butter is drive down to our local Whole Foods and buy a ton of bananas and then drive to our local Food Bank and spread it on them.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
I would donate the case of peanut butter to our local food bank – there are so many people in need in our community and peanut butter is an excellent source of protein. If selected, I would purchase five additional cases of Whole Foods peanut butter for the food bank as well as get all the agents in my real estate office to contribute more, more, more. We are so fortunate to be making a living and we have a responsibility to help those less fortunate than we.
March 5th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
On whole wheat toast with honey, for breakfast!
March 5th, 2010 at 7:49 pm
Peanut butter is delicious in soups. Here is a recipe I call, Good for the Milk Soup.
1 butternut squash
3 or 4 sweet potatoes
onions
garlic
2 yellow squash
2 green zucchinis
1 big can of tomatoes
1/2 c of peanut butter
1 cup uncooked barley
handful of peanuts
paprika
pepper
salt
lemon
one can of coconut milk
Saute onions, garlic and butternut squash. Add sweet potatoes and vegetables. Add tomatoes. Add 2 canfuls of water. Let cook until everything is almost soft then add barley. Cook for 15 more minutes. Add PB, coconut milk and peanuts. Spice it up!
You can also use quiona or rice in place of barley.
I would also make my Vegan Tagalong cookies. This my first cookie recipe ever.
1 cup margarine
1 TB molasses
2 TB maple syrup
1.5 c sugar
1.5 to 2 c flour
2 t vanilla
1 t salt
1 t baking powder
Cream margarine, and sugar until creamy. Add molasses, syrup and vanilla. Then add baking powder, salt and flour. Add flour slowly so you don’t add too much. Consistency should be a bit wet and crumbley.
Make round disks. And place in oven on 350. Cook for about 10 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool.
Now it’s time for the peanut butter filling.
1 cup peanut butter
1.5 cup powdered sugar
.5 cup margarine
cream together and spoon on top of cookies
Now time for the topping!
one bag chocolate chips
.5 cups maragine
.5 cups soy creamer or milk substitute. I used hemp milk since it’s creamy.
Melt maragarine and soy creamer in double boiler. Or just use a glass bowl over a pot over water like I did. When that is all melted and nice and simmering add the chocolate chips. Stir until creamy. You want to coat the cookies when the chocolate is still warm because it will harden when cooled. The cookie coating is more like a ganache than the girl scouts version. But chocolate and peanut butter how can you go wrong?
I have so many desserts, sauces and entrees that I could make with peanut butter! And who could go wrong with the traditional PB and jelly?

Mmmmm! My brother used to keep a bowl of peanut butter under his bed with a spoon in it. We might like peanut butter a little too much around here! With a whole case, I might even share with him.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
I’m pretty much obsessed with peanut butter, and whole foods peanut butter is so affordable and delicious. Honestly, I just like eating it straight from the jar on a spoon. My other favorite way to eat peanut butter is smeared on a ripe banana. You can’t beat banana and peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
The best way to enjoy peanut butter is:
Grill a hamburger and top it with about a tablespoon of peanut butter ( the heat from the burger will help melt it) and some slices of bread and butter pickles. I call it a PeanutBurger!! To die for it is so delish!!!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:10 pm
Wow! Where do I start? Here is the list of what I CURRENTLY consume in regards to peanut butter, and yes, I have AT LEAST one of these DAILY-
Peanut butter banana bread-
carrots dipped in peanut butter-
spoonful of peanut butter-
peanut butter in my apple pie crust-
peanut butter on my oatmeal-
peanut butter and apples-
peanut butter, banana and honey used as a bread dip-
peanut butter chocolate squares-
peanut butter earth ball-
peanut butter and milk-
peanut butter and coconut milk-
And on and on…
It’s one food my fiance rags me about because everything I eat taste like it has it added. At least I don’t have to worry about her eating it :0
ps. I have a pic of me in front of the ‘Peanut Butter Factory’ in TX. I was so excited I made her take a pic with me!
Thanks! for listening to the peanut gallery!
March 5th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
On a spoon. Preferably honey roasted. Sometimes unsalted creamy.
March 5th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
Peanut butter cookies, apples with peanut butter, anything Asian with peanut sauce. The real question is, what can I not add peanut butter to.
March 5th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
put it in smoothies,sandwiches,cookies, add honey and eat by the spoonful
March 5th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
so many ways…but esp on whole wheat fresh bread or rice cakes. it is my fav thing to drop off at our local food pantries, so pick me and i’ll share my case with the Greater BR Food Bank!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:09 pm
I LOVE my peanutbutter without partially hydrogenated oils. IN the morning 1 TBLS. on 12 grain bread. mmm good! mid morning snack a spoonful. Occasionally peanut butter and Jelly sandwich sprinkled with flax seed!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:14 pm
I would eat it with a spoon. There is nothing like the taste and texture of pure unadulterated peanut butter. It brings comfort like nothing else! Of course, it is great in cookies, cake, cakeballs, brownies, on English muffins or any breadstuff, and makes great sauces… for instance on a wilted lettuce salad (a fellow student from Yemen made for me)
March 5th, 2010 at 11:43 pm
Peanut butter is great on a piece of Rudi Honey whole Wheat bread with honey. Add a glob for delicious cookies. I love it on apple slices. Also, it is star ingredient is pad thai. My childhood favorite is spreading it think on crackers. I love you peanut butter!
March 5th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
I love making peanut butter and agava nectar sandwiches. I also use peanut butter in a fabulous vegan no bake cookie. Yum!
March 6th, 2010 at 12:16 am
A spoonful straight out of the jar is my favorite way to eat peanut butter. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches with raisins is my second favorite. Is there truly a way that peanut butter is not delicious?
March 6th, 2010 at 2:41 am
I love Whole Foods organic Peanut Butter. I put it on vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries and roasted almonds. Yum! I make Peanut Butter and honey sandwiches when I’m running errands with the kids. It travels very well and doesn’t have to be refrigerated. We love it. I spread a generous amount of it on an Ezekiel sprouted grain tortilla and cover it with roasted almond slivers and raisins. I roll it up and cut it into bite size pieces which a carry in a sandwich bag for a great snack on the go. The possibilities are endless. I could really use a case of peanut butter!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:30 am
My favorite way is to use peanut butter to replace the butter in your black bean brownie recipe! I put in about a cup of room-temp PB instead of 2/3 cup butter (for a doubled recipe), and mmmm! It takes like peanut butter cup brownies! Too yummy.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:03 am
Some organic, no sugar, no nothing, just peanuts, peanut butter and plain yogurt to start the day. Breakfast of champions!Peanut butter and steel cut oat oatmeal. Peanut butter and celery sticks for “paper work snacks” at work, or peanut butter and cabbage or even better peanut butter and Chinese cabbage. Peanut butter satay sauce on grilled chicken strips for dinner. Peanut butter all day long!
March 6th, 2010 at 5:31 am
I have three children under the age of four, so we could go through a case of peanut butter easily! Besides PBJs, we love to make asian noodles to which we add a dab of peanut butter for richness. We also eat peanut butter “lollypops” which is when I am too lazy to make the kids a snack, so I scoop a big dollop of PB on a spoon and hand it to them–they love it!
March 6th, 2010 at 6:37 am
I am a mom of five. One is gone to college now with the other four at home. As for peanut butter, we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. It is an everyday staple at our house. We eat it on pancakes, sandwiches, and my favorite is to cut up an apple and spread some on each slice!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:11 am
Peanut butter is excellent when served “au naturale” on a spoon or as a apple wedge dip. I’m also a fan of the classic peanut butter and honey sandwich. Peanut butter also makes great thai peanut sauce for pad thai and satay! My whole family would enjoy the peanut butter.
March 6th, 2010 at 8:58 am
We love peanut butter in our house (I have a peanut butter and something – jelly, banana, etc- for at least one meal out of the day. What I do that my family loves: Peanut butter, oatmeal and mini chocolate chip cookies. I also put some chocolate chips in the food processor and add this to the batter so the cookies look mottled or tiger-striped. They are crispy and crunchy and just delicious. I also make peanut butter fudge torte. I make a dense brownie in a big round pan, cover it with peanut butter then pour warm ganache over the whole thing and let it set. I also make peanut butter mousse. I slice two sour cream chocolate cake rounds in half to make four rounds, layer it with the mousse and then slather it with ganache while it is still pliable. I have recipes if you want them!
March 6th, 2010 at 9:24 am
I never really grew out of the obsession with peanut butter. I eat a pb and j nearly every weekday for lunch. It’s inexpensive and nutritious. Paired with a tortilla, I can make quick quesadilla style desserts or roll it up for eating on the go. On the weekends I sometimes thin it out and spice it up as a sauce for Thai inspired dishes. Of course, I can’t forget to mention dessert. Peanut butter has infinite applications in cookies, bars, pies, candies, and ice creams. After the peanut butter is gone the jars are perfect for storing leftover liquids in the fridge or the freezer. The bulk cans also make great containers for loose change, buttons, pens, crayons, beads, etc. The possibilities with a case of peanut butter and the containers are endless!
March 6th, 2010 at 11:36 am
i love peanut butter. not only is it one of my favorite things to eat, i have many fond memories involving my best friend and myself eating peanut butter straight from the jar. one day we were driving home on a back road in my little five speed, and i just couldn’t wait any longer for my delicious peanut butter! so i drove the rest of the way home with the jar in my lap, dipping into the lovely peanut butter and making a royal mess. and that is what i always remember when i open a new jar, a beautiful summer day, great friends, and marvelous peanut butter! so, if i had a case of it, i would probably waste no time digging into it with a giant spoon!
March 6th, 2010 at 11:53 am
I like crunchy peanut butter and maple syrup on 7 grain wheat bread.
March 6th, 2010 at 12:35 pm
It’s so easy to enjoy delicious WF peanut butter in so many ways! peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, peanut butter and banana toast, peanut butter in oatmeal or quinoa for bkfst, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter on apples, celery, etc, peanut butter in stirfrys, satays, etc. Or just peanut butter out of the jar with milk!
March 6th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
I eat peanut butter once a day, almost every day. It is good mixed into oatbran and oatmeal. Some times I eat it on toast or just straight out of the jar. I find the all natural organic peanut butter tastes the best.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I luv a big scoop of BP in my yogurt, with a little flax seed and raw oatmeal on top. simple and filling.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
Thoroughly enjoy it!!!! Peanut butter is on my ‘incredible’ food list. On oatmeal, in shakes, on celery, in sandwiches, recipes and soooooo much more.
March 6th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
peanut butter on sweet potatoes for lunch!!!
March 6th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
If I had a case of peanut butter this is all I would do: peanut butter dog biscuits I would make for my dogs, peanut sauce, peanut butter cake, peanut butter chocolate eggs for Easter, peanut butter cake, peanut butter bread, peanut butter banana chocolate chip muffins, buckeye candy, peanut butter fudge, peanut butter cookies and fudge and of course the PB and J sandwich.
Have a Blessed Day
Joy
March 6th, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Peanut butter and banana sandwiches on whole wheat bread, preferably a little smushy and a few hours old. Hey, nostalgia doesn’t need a reason.
March 6th, 2010 at 4:55 pm
I love it on whole wheat toast
March 6th, 2010 at 7:08 pm
I would find the world’s biggest spoon!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I eat peanut butter and fruit spreads on whole wheat bread almost every single work day for lunch. I thrive on the peanutty goodness, the protein – it’s my staple!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I ate peanut butter and crackers as a child (not Ritz). The crackers were round, plain and unsalted with holes on the top.(Wish I could remember the product name!) Anyhow, today, I love bananas and peanut butter. Sometimes, I just take a tablespoon of peanut butter as a snack. Occasionally, I’ll have a peanut butter and whole fruit jam on whole grain bread as a treat. I’d love to learn to cook with it too, especially some good, Asian-style recipes with noodles…..(and peanuts)………..mmmmmmmmm!
March 6th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Oh, peanut butter I love you. Let me count the ways.
Spread it on a piece of toast or apples. Stir it in my favorite breakfast, oatmeal. Whip up a batch of peanut butter granola bars. But best of all, grab a spoonful and savor the rich peanutty taste.
March 6th, 2010 at 7:37 pm
My favorite way to enjoy peanut butter is on a spoon right out of the jar! I also love having it in oatmeal or bulgar for breakfast, or spread between a 365 duplex cookie!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I love peanut butter! I like to make homemade peanut butter granola bars that I customize with some of my favorite organic ingredients. I also like it on a spoon out of the jar – yum!
March 6th, 2010 at 8:58 pm
I confess to having a full-blown peanut butter addiction. LOVE the stuff. And, I’m quite picky about which peanut butter I use. WF brand organic and Marantha remain locked in a tie for my affection. I start most days with two pieces of PB toast topped with granny smith apple slices, a drizzle of honey or agave and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Super yum!
March 6th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
Yum….love peanut butter. I’d make lots of goodies, like peanut butter cookies with dark chocolate chips and peanut butter dog bisquits for our dog who loves peanut butter. My grown up (handicapped)son also loves his PB&J’s and peanut butter on toast. I’d send some out to my daughter who just moved to Denver!!! I’m sure they’re going to be eating cheaply for a while and she loves organic!
March 6th, 2010 at 10:46 pm
I eat warm oats or grains EVERY DAY for breakfast … and sometimes I enjoy a dollop of yummy peanut or almond butter on top and mix it in … it’s especially good if I add a banana… all soft and mushy … it’s like a peanut butter and banana sandwich in a bowl … that’s how I love my peanut butter! Thanks!
March 6th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
I think a better question is what wouldn’t I do w/ a case of peanut butter? With it, I can have PB&J sandwiches, PB&Banana sandwiches, PB&Mayo sandwiches, it’s great for getting gum out of your hair should you accidentally get it stuck in your hair, it’s great w/ chocolate, I can add it to a stick of butter and have Peanut Butter Butter, most importantly it contains a good combo of protein and fats and just taste great. The list is endless.
March 7th, 2010 at 12:05 am
My little one likes to spread a little PB on her chocolate bunny cookies from Annie’s.
March 7th, 2010 at 5:59 am
Feed my first film crew? Any volunteers, I’m cheap. Peanut butter takes me back to the days when the nuns put me in my own room in pre-school, been there every since. A room of my own…for troublemakers, with jam and peanut butter for lunch!
March 7th, 2010 at 6:21 am
i would create many beautiful & heallthy treats to give to others…
March 7th, 2010 at 6:32 am
peanut butter and vanilla ice cream ( with or without unsweetened
coconut.
March 7th, 2010 at 6:37 am
I just found out about this site and these good foods and would like to try some.
thanks,
Robin
March 7th, 2010 at 8:54 am
I love it mixed with raw honey, soaked and toasted almonds, and melted coconut oil and topping a spoonful on top of a banana with each bite! It’s like eating an Almond Joy candy bar!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:28 am
i’m addicted to peanut butter; always have been, always will be. and now, of course, my kids are, too!
besides the obvious (right out of the jar!), i enjoy peanut butter as part of a peanut noodles recipe. i also enjoy peanut soup, an african tradition that i first experienced when i was a little girl visiting Colonial Williamsburg. we had dinner at one of the historic taverns. i will never forget my first taste of peanut soup!!! i went home and tried to find a recipe and get my mom to make it. being a non-cook, she passed on the idea.
(( when i was old enough, i tried making it, and it was pretty delicious.
i think i could make quite a few batches for my family with that much peanut butter. and of course, we would have some peanut butter cookies for dessert! YUM!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:31 am
We make great cookies with ritz crackers and peanut butter.
Spread Peanut butter between two Rizt crackers and dip to cover in melted chocolate with a bit of havey or whipping cream.. Refrigerate and enjoy after chocolate sets
March 7th, 2010 at 11:36 am
I love WF crunchy PB two ways: (1) in the blender with some chocolate soy mild and a frozen banana–Delicious! and (2) spread over a warm piece of toast early in the morning!
March 7th, 2010 at 12:02 pm
I love peanut butter, and generally use it for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I’d also venture out and try to use it for dum dum noodle, etc. Thank you!
March 7th, 2010 at 1:23 pm
How about a Peanut Butter Pot Luck? A jar of Peanut Butter will be supplied to all family/friends interested…and each can bring their favorite Peanut Butter recipe. CREATIVE RECIPES WELCOME! The best recipes will be posted!!!
March 7th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
We love peanut butter on whole wheat toast for breakfast, and celery spread with peanut butter for snacks, but it also finds its way to the dinner table quite frequently.
Soba noodles with carrots and tofu in homemade peanut sauce is always a hit for the whole family (picky 2 and 5 year olds included). And while it may sound odd, our African Pineapple Peanut Stew is another family favorite. No doubt we’d make lots and lots of peanut butter cookies, too!
Yes, indeedy, we’d put a case of peanut butter to very good use….
March 7th, 2010 at 1:42 pm
Oh, the wonder of peanut butter! That creamy, crunchy, nutty wunderfood!
How I love thee in the morning, the soulmate to that breakfast wonder fruit, Banana!
Oh, and how you complement my oatmeal! I sweeten you with a little agave,
then spice you up with cinnamon. And how you mingle with sweet raisins!
At lunch, I love to indulge in your essence, that sweet delicacy, the PB&J.
But what a shame to forget, the perfection of a spoon of you,
added to last night’s Thai leftovers!
Snack time? Granola, apple, peanutbutter, oh my!
And at dinner. Peanut butter, you can be so naughty sometimes,
the way you seduce my taste buds with your cohort, coconut milk.
A peanut curry turns me on in a hurry.
At last, we’ve arrived at dessert, with nary a jar left in this delectable case of peanut butter.
What shall I do with thee, my sweet, final lovely?
A pie, perhaps, would suffice, but we all know where you truly belong -
Chocolate! Who can resist your sweet song of peanut butter and chocolate,
The food embodiment of the Sirens themselves!
Strong Odysseus, bind his mouth as you may, would stand
not a change against the calling of your kind.
Peanut butter, my darling, I have given up
resistance to your sweet temptation.
Come with me my darling, and alas, a case of thee
might yet make it a full night with me.
March 7th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I would use the peanut butter as glue/cement and build myself a life-size Cinnamon graham peanut butter house, then eat my way through it over a couple of months. The doorknobs would be apples, the windows would be panes of grape jelly, all the faucets would be bananas, you get the idea…
March 7th, 2010 at 2:39 pm
When I want to be healthy, I’d spread a bit of peanut butter over some whole wheat toast with honey.
When it’s a celebration, I’d bake my vegan adaption of Martha Stewart’s Cakey Chocolate Chip Cookies with flax seed & peanut butter!
When I’m having a dinner party, I’d whip up some Thai food with my favorite peanut sauce.
When I want to bond, just like my mother used to do with me, I’d share some delicious peanut butter straight from the jar…
Every Whole Foods visit includes another purchase of my favorite creamy, healthy peanut butter… even on my student budget, I’ll make sure to fit in this delicious treat for all my friends and housemates to share in!
March 7th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
A lot of peanut butter on celery!
March 7th, 2010 at 3:54 pm
we would have lunch all set for a year!
March 7th, 2010 at 7:44 pm
Oh my gosh!! Not only would I use this for my family, but we have a teen outreach group in my area that runs an afterschool program (totally on donations), and they definitely would benefit from this!
March 7th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
Hi
I love using peanut butter for sauces and noodles. It is also a great source of protein for us on meatless mondays or on fridays during the lenten season. In addition, my husband is diabetic and if he experiences low blood sugar, we always go for something with carbs and protein like peanut butter because it prevents his sugar from crashing back down like a glass of juice would.
We love your stores, right now our nearest one is an hour and half drive from us, any chance or bringing one to Lancaster County, PA? Thanks!
March 7th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
GREAT FOOD————–
March 8th, 2010 at 6:32 am
I would make lots of cookies and pies. I would also make some awesome peanut noodles. My boys love PB and they would go crazy with a case of it.
March 8th, 2010 at 6:33 am
In our household of 4, we could polish this off easily. We love it on sandwiches, in cookies, on ice cream, on crackers, on apples, on celery, and more!
March 8th, 2010 at 7:01 am
How do we NOT enjoy peanut butter? My poor kids have been addicted since birth because I ate it almost daily during pregnancy!
March 8th, 2010 at 7:23 am
My husband is past wild about peanut butter (the rest of us eat it normally.) He eats it out of the jar with a spoon and I have to remember to buy his 2-3 jars each week (those are his, the rest of us have to have our own) so he won’t go through withdrawal. A case would help alot!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:49 am
My favorite way to eat peanutbutter is with celery. My six year old and I dip the celery in and enjoy a snack together.But with this much peanut buttrer I could help many others, strangers, friends, and family alike.
March 8th, 2010 at 8:51 am
We enjoy peanut butter on our homemade 12 grain bread every night with the big salad we have for dinner. For vegetarians, there’s nothing like peanut butter!!!!!!!!!!
March 8th, 2010 at 8:52 am
I usually love just spreading peanut butter on a hot piece of toast (tastes best when it has melted a little bit). PB is very versatile and I can work it into either breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner or dessert.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:10 am
I make my own trail cookies with peanut butter, oatmeal, and whatever nuts or seeds I have on hand. Sometimes I even share!
March 8th, 2010 at 9:24 am
Eat it!
March 8th, 2010 at 10:09 am
I only eat natural peanut butter. The regular ones taste so sweet to me now.I love to put peanut butter in my ice cream!
March 8th, 2010 at 10:52 am
I’d pull a few jars for myself (obviously) to eat on bread with jam, on bread with chutney and melted cheese, or (usually somewhere between 3 and 4 am) right out of the jar on a big spoon! The rest I would donate to our local food bank, where I volunteer and where we can always use organic, protein-packed items for those struggling to make ends meet.
March 8th, 2010 at 11:48 am
I LOVE ANY KIND OF PEANUT BUTTER !!! THIS IS A GREAT CONTEST !!
March 8th, 2010 at 11:49 am
Peanut butter cookies….peanut butter and jelly sandwiches….peanut butter on toast…..peanut butter pie…..great, now I’m hungry!!!
March 8th, 2010 at 11:53 am
Oh man, this one’s easy! I’m addicted to peanut butter (and other nut butters) – especially since I altered my diet cutting out dairy, gluten and raw veggies to help with my incessant digestive issues. My new diet kinda cut out traditional sandwiches which I grew up eating and as an adult would have almost every day for lunch. I’ve had to become more and more creative as I try to find things that would work and would be easy. I’ve loved peanut butter since I can remember. I was already someone who would add it to a bowl of ice cream or some other sweet to turn it up a notch or just eat it all by itself if I didn’t have anything else sweet in the house. So, enter peanut butter on rice cakes and gluten-free toast… enter baking with peanut butter in cookies and brownies and getting happy with throwing it into gluten-free pancakes – yum! Then, just a few weeks ago, I discovered the Whole Foods recipe for “Earth Balls” and have been in bliss since making them for a party. OMG! I made mine with cocoa powder and carob chips and I haven’t been able to get enough of them. So, what would I do with a case of peanut butter – let’s just say – pretty much anything and everything. Eating it straight out of the jar with a spoon is never out of the question!
March 8th, 2010 at 12:12 pm
I can’t believe I neglected to mention my famous peanut butter and banana sandwiches. As a child I was taught to make them with peanut butter on one side and mayonnaise on the other with banana in the middle (use any kind of bread). People can’t believe it when I say this – but it is actually pretty tasty. As an adult, though, I created my own combination (without mayo) with peanut butter (or almond butter – and any other nut butter would also work), banana, dried cranberries and a drizzling of honey. And again, any type of bread is fine – use your favorite. I’ve even seen a recipe before that added shredded carrot. But the above recipe is my standby for picnics and hikes and it never fails to please and satisfy. Makes me want one right now!
March 8th, 2010 at 12:19 pm
I can’t believe I also forgot peanut butter on apples, straight on a banana as you eat it – spooned from the jar (we called this “bubba and curve” growing up), spooned onto pieces of solid chocolate (I am a peanut butter and chocolate fanatic) and finally my Granny’s frozen peanut butter pie. Something I can’t indulge in anymore but OH so good – made with cool whip, cream cheese, milk, vanilla and confectioners sugar – in a baked pie crust and frozen. To die for.
March 8th, 2010 at 12:29 pm
I literally love peanut butter on basically EVERYTHING. From putting peanut butter on sweet potatos (EXCELLENT), on fruit, in smoothies, with veggies, with crackers, in banana soft serve, to a simple Ezekiel Peanut butter sandwich- the 365 PB is AMAZING on everything! im in love
March 8th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
I would eat it with apples. Yummy!
March 8th, 2010 at 1:10 pm
My husband has a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich every day for lunch, so this would be VERY useful in my household! Sometimes I’ll grab a spoonful, a few chocolate chip cookies and have it as a pick-me-up treat!
March 8th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I would love to win a case of peanut butter. Here’s what my daughters and I would do; 1. Happy Dance. 2. Peanut butter on toast for breakfast, sometimes we alternate peanut butter on waffles or pancakes. 3. We have 2 recipes for gluten-free peanut butter cookies; one is with chocolate and oatmeal. 4. We sometimes add peanut butter to chocolate chip cookie dough. 5. One daughter just invented a recipe for peanut butter icing for her sugar cookies. (She made them b/c her sister gave up chocolate for Lent.) 6. I particularly love this pumpkin soup with peanut butter. 8. We snack on apples or bananas with p.b. 9. One daughter makes wraps with p.b., granola, and fruit. And well, 10. it’s great right out of the jar, too!
March 8th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
We love PB&J sandwiches, Peanut Butter on apple slices or celery stalks, with crackers, and my daughter even likes making a smoothie with frozen yogurt, chocolate syrup, and Peanut Butter. If I had a case of Peanut Butter I would bake LOTS of cookies!
March 8th, 2010 at 6:59 pm
I would use a jar to make frozen peanut chocolate mousse pie, a mouthwatering dessert I first tried at a local Washington restaurant when I was in middle school. I would then donate the remaining jars to a local food bank, because peanut butter is such a delicious source of protein, it should be available to all!
March 8th, 2010 at 7:57 pm
As a vegetarian, peanuts, and peanut butter specifically is a great source of protein… I enjoy using peanut butter in my snack bar recipe (with oatmeal and honey).
Plus, when I make my dog his biscuits, nothing’s better than peanut butter dog treats! (I’m guessing… I swear I’ve never tried
March 8th, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Oh what a bunch of great new ways to enjoy the best butter just from reading these comments. I would keep enough to try them along with the usual pbj sandwiches, smoothies, scoop plain or with a bite of dark chocolate. I would put an occassional scoop in my dog’s Kong & watch her work at retrieving her treat. The best baker in the world, Mary, would get a few jars in hopes she would enjoy them & make great cookies to share. And I would have to share the rest with so many people I know that are having problems making ends meet these days. If any are left I would donate to the food pantry.

I love peanut butter! I like to have my Gran’s peanut butter pie. I like it on ice cream. My daughter & I eat it with apple slices. My husband makes a Thai peanut sauce with it. We make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches with it. Since we are vegetarians, it’s a great protein source for us!!
March 8th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
I love peanut butter scooped on a spoon with a chase of milk. Simple I know, but filss me up and provides me with a sweet treat.
March 8th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
I am boring. I like PB&J sandwiches.

Seriously, what DOESNT taste better with peanut butter? Yesterday I made muffins with mashed banana, chunky pb and big choc chips that were fantastic! As a kid, I loved it on Ritz with my mom’s chili. Peanut sauce on buckwheat noodles is always a quick and healthy meal I enjoy, especially in the winter. In the summer I love to dunk melon or any kind into pb, while in the winter I opt for pears or apples

We enjoy peanut butter in everything! Not only does it make a nice gooey sandwich with syrup, it coats french toast perfectlly, makes a great paste for Chinese and Indian dishes and it helps to keep our birds alive during the cold months when food is hard for them to find.
March 9th, 2010 at 8:53 am
I can (and often do) eat peanut butter right out of the jar on a spoon! I recently made sugar free peanut butter cookies that are also flour-less that are really yummy. I also recently made a peanut butter chicken stir fry that was delicious. Anyway I have it, I love it.
March 9th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
i love it made in a sauce and poured over ramen noodles for a quick lunch as well as straight out of the jar — thank you for the chance!
March 9th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
PB with celery and apples, yum!
March 9th, 2010 at 3:52 pm
First off- peanut butter cookies. Then Pad thai and curry. Plus even though I’m an adult I take peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch nearly every day. I love crunchy peanut butter.
March 9th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
I enjoy peanut butter on the trails and anywhere when I am out and about. It makes a satisfying, energizing meal or snack anywhere, on just about anything
March 9th, 2010 at 4:40 pm
take it to Burning Man, make sandwhiches with it and give them away to late night ravers outside of various dance clubs.
March 9th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
I love peanut butter and would make all of my friends flourless peanut butter cookies. I already make several dozen cookies a week for my friends who absolutely love my delicious peanut butter cookies. It takes about 1/2 a jar of peanut butter for about 3 dozen cookies. So, I go through a lot of peanut butter each month. But, nothing makes me happier to hear my friends rant and rave about how much they love eating my home made cookies that are absolutely delicious.
March 9th, 2010 at 6:58 pm
If I had that much peanut butter, and good peanut butter at that, I would try to incorporate it into every one of my meals for as long as I could (I don’t get sick of pb
. I could try some in my cereal, on pancakes, muffins, scones, in soups, in salad dressings, in drinks, in desserts, I would try southeast asian recipies (they tend to do a good job at incorporating peanuts into their entrees), spread it on as many types of fruits as I can get a hold of, or I could even eat it plain. And if all else fails, there is always peanut butter and jelly sandwiches…
March 9th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
This is not very original however we love eating it with celery!
March 10th, 2010 at 12:17 am
I like it in Chinese food or in baked goods!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:09 am
If I won, I would love to experiment with the recipies mentioned above. I have also always wanted to try making Satay and now that it is warming up outside, I am ready to do it!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:54 am
We make cookies with peanut butter. We have peanut butter and crackers daily. Peanut butter & jelly sandwiches around here is also a favorite. I made some peanut butter brownies not long ago, the kids really loved them. I guess, if I won a case of Peanut butter, I would have to look up some peanut butter recipes for us to try.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:20 am
If i won a case of peanut butter I would make loads of peanut butter cookies for my family and another load of cookies to give to the shelter puppies and our own animals…they love anything with peanut butter!
March 10th, 2010 at 6:22 am
Oh my! Peanut butter is a favorite for everyone in my house! PB&J sandwiches, in oatmeal, on crackers, stuffed in celery, spicy peanut sauce on grilled chicken, PB Cookies, PB & banana! A case of PB wouldn’t last long in my home, thanks for the offer!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:50 am
My son loves peanut butter!!! He eats it any we serve it… in sandwiches on homemade bread, on bagels, as a dipping sauce, in Peanut Butter Oatmeal cookies, on crackers, apples and bananas!
March 10th, 2010 at 8:19 am
Wow! We use pb in soooo many things. PB&J (or Honey or Almond Butter), Granola Bars, Cookies, on Toast, in sauces, with apples and bananas…
We could definitely eat a case of PB!
March 10th, 2010 at 8:27 am
I eat a sprouted whole grain sandwich made with creamy organic peanut butter, cinnamon, and honey. EVERY Morning for breakfast! I ~heart~ peanut butter! So with a case of peanut butter…I would continue my morning tradition (obsession).
March 10th, 2010 at 8:43 am
I love Peanut butter!
I enjoy spread on a juicy organic apple, on toast in the morning, stirred into my plain oatmeal, baking cookies and just eating it right off a spoon
March 10th, 2010 at 9:07 am
What would I do with a case? Share it with kids in Haiti! Lifeline (www.Lifeline.org) has shipped tens of thousands of jars of donated peanut butter to malnourished kids in Haiti. The peanut butter is distributed in Lifeline’s nutrition programs for toddlers, women, families, disaster relief efforts and more. The need before the earthquake was great; the need is even greater now!
March 10th, 2010 at 9:27 am
I was in Haiti when the earthquake hit, so if I won a case of peanut butter, I would send it to the precious kids of Haiti. Peanut butter provides protein that their diets really lack. They love it! They put it on a flatbread and, if they are lucky, have jam to go with it. Thank you for such a fun contest!
March 10th, 2010 at 9:52 am
I work for Lifeline Christian Mission,a small, non-profit organization based out of Westerville, OH. We have missions in Haiti and Honduras, and are working on developing missions in Cuba and El Salvador. I also sponsor a child in Honduras.
With the recent tragety in Haiti, We have been recieving donations of medical supplies, clothing, canned meats, and of course… Peanut butter! We also have our annual peanut butter drive in March. If I were to win a case of peanut butter, I would donate it through our organization to help feed the people in Haiti who have nothing right now.
-Lyndi
March 10th, 2010 at 9:56 am
I would dontate a case of peanut butter to Lifeline Christian Mission to help with their annual Peanut Butter drive for Haiti.
March 10th, 2010 at 10:04 am
I would ship the case of peanut butter to Haiti to help feed the people that have been left homeless by the devistating earthquake and have been living in tents at Lifeline Christian Mission.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:03 am
I was trying to research your peanut butter online to see the list of ingredients. I only by the peanut butter with one ingredients in it, peanut butter. we eat lots of PB&J sandwiches and put it in our oatmeal and we love it with Daddy cooks with it!
We do go through a lot of peanut butter in my house so this would help our grocery bill a lot!
March 10th, 2010 at 11:06 am
Eventhough it was not a year, like your brother, I chose to eat Peanut Butter for an entire summer during my teen years. After some thought, my mom figured I was getting the four basic food groups (PB Sandwich with Jelly and Milk) and bought me a five pound tub and didn’t fight it. To this day, I still love peanut butter and I will eat it plain on a spoon for snack.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:25 am
Peanut Butter is the new ketchup and mustard! It should be on restaurant tables around the world. I think it might steal (ok, how about share?) egg’s tag line of “the incredible, edible _”. I use it on anything from breakfast through dessert. It’s especially popular at the soup kitchen I volunteer at. With limited supplies we make a great food like peanut butter go a long way! That’s how I like PB, serving it to those less-fortunate and the reaction we get. Nothing beats a peanut butter induced smile to make someone’s day!
March 10th, 2010 at 11:34 am
My husband and I eat a great deal of peanut butter. I have grown to love his peanut butter and bacon sandwiches, I don’t do well with the peanut butter and lettuce although he loves it. We lived overseas for awhile and had satay pizza — awesome!! This is one that I still make! I cook with peanut butter ( the recipe with coconut milk is awesome) Grilled peanut butter sandwiches (dipped in an egg batter like french toast), asian food with peanut butter – add a little hot water and some soy sauce and you have a wonderful sauce to add to just about anything!! And then, of course, there are the cookies, with oats and without. Oatmeal cake with peanut butter frosting- peanut butter fudge – on an apple, chocolate – of course – with veggies – And now that we are both on unemployment … we eat A LOT of peanut butter.
What would I do with a case of peanut butter???? — WOW!!! the options are endless. I might even have to send you some new peanut butter recipes to share with your shoppers! That could be great.
Thanks!
March 10th, 2010 at 11:52 am
i just love to put peanutbutter on bread with cinimon (wich is good for controllingt blood suger) and a few slices of banana topped with a bit of honey i have it evry day it makes my day and is relay good with abog glass of milk!
March 10th, 2010 at 11:56 am
WE WOULD EAT IT!!!!! Our family goes through soooo much peanut butter! We would make sandwiches, eat it on bananas, and make cookies! YUM!!!! We LOVE it!!!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 12:20 pm
Hi Wholefoodies:
If I won a case of Peanut Butter I would give it to a local shelter which would help a lot of families. Peanut Butter is a great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacktime. My husband and I grew up on many, many PBJ sandwiches because it was easy to prepare, inexpensive and yummy. Today however, our son is highly allergic to Peanut Butter and so he would enjoy helping someone else that could use the product. We would take the case to a local shelter to help those less fortunate. For some families it could make the difference between having or not having a small meal on the table. Keep up the good work wholefoods!! Sincerely, J. Cameron, Billerica, MA
March 10th, 2010 at 12:32 pm
I love love love peanut butter. From the chocolate monkey smoothie to the classic peanut butter sandwich, I can’t get enough. Peanut butter and chocolate is a match made in heaven, so anything there goes, especially peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. It is also very delicious with apples, bananas, crackers, pretzels, thai dishes, or simply by itself. I would go bananas over a year’s supply of peanut butter!
March 10th, 2010 at 12:33 pm
I love 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter! While I was pregnant with twins a couple of years ago, I had to eat an unbelievable amount of protein per day. After tiring quickly of cottage cheese and red meat, I looked for other ways to get my required amount of protein to help my little peanuts grow. My favorite way to eat peanut butter is to spread some on a warm toasty english muffin and sprinkle on a few semi-sweet chocolate chips. I have tried many different brands of peanut butter, and none live up to 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter. It tastes like you literally had a handful of peanuts and ground them into butter on your kitchen counter. Absolutely the freshest most delicious peanut butter I have ever had the pleasure of tasting. Between myself and my three toddlers, I go through an enormous amount of peanut butter, and we would make excellent use of a case of 365 Everyday Value Organic Peanut Butter.
March 10th, 2010 at 12:41 pm
Mmmm – organic peanut butter. I still love it – it’s not just a kid’s food, though my 2 little ones love it to. It’s a perfect, protein-packed addition to any breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Peanut butter oatmeal, peanut butter sandwich, peanut butter dipping sauce. We could go through a case of peanut butter pretty quickly!
March 10th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
As much as I love peanut butter in soups and baked goods and on apples and celery, I must admit that I love, love, love peanut butter on a spoon. I actually keep little plastic cups of peanut butter in my office for afternoon snacks. My Birmingham Southern education students have begun to raid my stash when they are working on projects or just hanging around the department reading. Great protein, great energy, great brain food!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:25 pm
I absolutely love peanut butter! I eat it on apples, celery, bananas and right out of the jar. Everytime I need to bake something, I always make something with peanut butter. I even make toast with peanut butter for my 3 dogs! I buy a jar every week. I would buy more than one, but the problem is if I bought more than one jar, I would eat that one too in the same week. It is definitely my guilty pleasure. I love the idea from one of your readers to put it in oatmeal — I haven’t tried that yet, but I eat oatmeal every morning, so tomorrow I will try that!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
I do the PB&J sandwiches quite often. I use peanut butter on fruit,in baking and other cooking. It’s good out of the jar and just about anyway.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:28 pm
I would share the case with my family and friends. I am a peanut butter fanatic. If left on a desert island and I could take one item, it would be a jar of 365 peanut butter!
It is the most versatile food item. I use it on apples, bananas, toast, chocolate, and more. It takes me from snacks to dinner and dessert. Thanks and have a peanuty day!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
I would definitly fit into my breakfast routine….I love it in my oatmeal. I can see me snacking on it with my apple or banana….maybe on a saltine or two or three. As they say the more the merrier….and we all want to be merry right.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
Whole Foods Peanut Butter is my absolute favorite (especially the honey roasted). It never lasts very long in my apartment (which is why I need an entire case). Granny Smith apples and peanut butter is my favorite snack. I regularly make stir fry with homemade peanut sauce – using Whole Foods peanut butter. I place it on english muffins, bananas, add it to smoothies. It is filling, delicious, and I must admit addictive. Please send me a case!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:33 pm
A case of peanut butter would be properly paired with a similar quantity of organic, fair trade, extra dark chocolate
.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:34 pm
Here at our house a case of peanut butter wouldn’t last very long. Doug makes himself a low carb., diabetic friendly snack every evening which is a mixture of peanut butter mixed with sugar free pancake syrup and puts that in a reduced carb pita pocket. I make one of our favorite diabetic friendly peanut butter. cookies, and I have to make them in double batches since they go so fast, I think our friends and family smell them while they are cooking!! So there would be many batches of my cookies to share with friends and family.
I also add peanut butter to our protein shakes. My guilty pleasure is peanut butter on a banana, YUMMY!!!!!! I would also have to share my case of peanut butter with my very best friend of 27 years, who lives next door to us.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
Oh I was that kid with the PB obsession! I love PB cookies, PB and chocolate crispie treats, noodles and shrimp in Thai peanut sauce, chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce, Elvis’ fried PB and banana sandwiches, PB on a slice of hot toast, PB and honey sandwiches, as a dip for apple slices and veggies like carrots and celery, PB made into a syrup for pancakes and waffles (mom’s invention), or just a spoonful, any excuse for some peanut butter. My dog also loves it when I fill a bone or her Kong with PB. I could definitely put a case of PB to work.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:35 pm
first i would make my husband some of his favorite peanut butter cookies to keep him busy while I whip up some of my favorites, including, but not limited to… peanut butter and flax seed protein balls are a must! then i’d make a giant vat of peanut sauce to have with grilled chicken and to be used in anything you can imagine from salads to dips to pastas, the possibilities are endless! I’d also make my most favorite creation, a toasted whole-wheat english muffin topped with peanut butter and sliced homemade pickles! to die for! And, last but not least, ants on a log
March 10th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I mix a spoonful into my oatmeal along with cinnamon, banana chunks, and raisons. Yum!
Full disclosure: Sometimes I make this for a quick dinner when I get home late!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:36 pm
I love peanut butter so much that I have chosen Jimmy Carter as my favorite president of all time and am considering moving to Georgia to be closer to the source. Peanut butter is great in all the traditional ways – with jelly in a sandwich, in cookies, on bananas. But peanut butter is also a great in a smoothie, as a dip, and just by itself as a quick energy-packed snack.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
With four small children, we love peanut butter on toast, peanut butter on crackers, peanut butter on bananas, apples, celery, and peanut butter on spoons! My favorite way to use it, though, is to make a delicious peanut sauce for noodles and vegetables.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Curries with lemon grass, schmeared on fresh artisan bread or a giant Fuji, mortaring a couple slices of whole wheat, who knows!
Realistically, though, half the case would go toward making tons of perfectly crispy vegan peanut butter cookies.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:40 pm
Take a heaping tablespoon of your favorite peanut butter and put it in the bottom of a microwaveable bowl. Zap it for 15-20 seconds, until it’s just melted. Top with Vanilla frozen yogurt and a squirt of chocolate sauce. Yummm!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
This sounds crazy, but it is OH SO GOOD. Pop yourself some popcorn (any way you like it). Then melt equal amounts of butter and peanut butter and pour over your popcorn. It is soooo addicting.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
Oh I love peanut butter! This is an awesome giveaway
I’ll eat it on pretty much anything, but it’s my favorite in oatmeal! I put a large dollop right in the bottom of the bowl so it gets all melty…mmmmmmm.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
I love having natural peanut butter daily! After having gastric bypass there are restrictions -no sugar, small portions, low fat. Getting enough protein daily is a challenge. This is a great way to get in protein and is so tasty without a heavy feeling like meat. I use it on sandwiches, in cookies, with chicken and right out of the jar on a spoon!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:46 pm
I live on peanut butter, the crunchy kind, eating a jar a week. What’s not to love? I eat it on whole grain bread, bagels, toast, graham crackers, bananas, sliced apples, in yogurt, even blended into sauce for pasta. My favorite way is right out of the jar,now that is heaven!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:48 pm
Peanut butter and toasted rye bread – best thing ever! Or, when I’ve got a little stomach ache, peanut butter on a banana (one smear per bite of banana)- Yum! Now, if only my husband didn’t feel like vomiting everytime he smelled peanut butter, I’d be able to indulge in my favorite snack more often!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I love peanut butter, it is the perfect energy boost! I eat it every morning before I go out on my run. I like it on toast with bananas. It seems to fulfill my need for energy to make it through my runs,even my long ones, including my 4 marathons.
I have loved peanut butter since I was a child. My mom reminds me that I would eat peanut butter and liverwurst sandwiches!! YUCK!! I am not sure why my mom would let me eat such a thing!! I can’t even stand the thought of liverwurst by itself!
Anyway, I eat peanut butter right out of the jar with a spoon! There is definately a HUGE difference in peanut butters!! The comercial ones do not even taste like real peanuts!!
A case of peanut butter would be awesome!! It wouldn’t last long in my house either!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:49 pm
I love whole peanut butter crunchy. I use it in shakes all the time. I eat spoonfulls add day!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:50 pm
I am particularly partial to peanut butter cookies! A case of peanut butter would give me a good start on a years supply of cookies!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Every Saturday I eat a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich on whole wheat bread, along with some fresh made whole foods guacamole and tortilla chips! SOooooooooo good!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
I would certainly put it to good use by making a variety cookies, PB & J sandwiches (great for breakfast on the go), spicy peanut sauces, adding it to vegetarian chili and then there is my favorite snacking method of just eating a spoonful straight from the jar.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Yum, peanut butter is awesome!
If I had a case of it, I would def “pay it forward!”
I would first hand it out to needy people I know who are on Medicaid as well as give it to people I know who have kids and rely on this as a low cost and easy meal staple! I would keep some in my pantry for personal use for my own family as we use this for low cost meals as well, and then I would donate the rest to local soup kitchens because a case of it is so much, there is no way 1 family could use it all. It would be great to Pay it Forward!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
Peanut Butter is the best food for satisfying every food urge one can have……salt, sweet, protein. I am constantly counting calories and peanut butter is great for maintaining! I only need to eat a teaspoon to feel like i have eaten a huge guilty pleasure. It is the most amazing, satisfying food there is, it is a food group unto itself. If i had a case of Peanut Butter I would use it on my toast in the morning, with jelly at 10, with a sandwich at noon and an apple at 3. For dinner I would have it with celery as a side. When I wanted to be wild I would make real chocolate pudding on the stove and drop 4 Tablespoons of peanut butter in and watch them melt and make that glorious sauce throughout the pudding. And of course all day I would carry a jar and a teaspoon to eat it all day right from the jar!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:54 pm
A whole case of peanut butter. Music to my family’s ears. My son’s in college and loves snacking on pb and saltines. Or pb&j on whole wheat toast. I make pb and oatmeal cookies — delish. We also make it a family time affair and whip up pb balls with crunched up rice krispies and dipped in dark chocolate — my late uncle’s favorite sweet. I make hot fudge with a little pb mixed in and also use it in some of my Asian dishes. It’s also good with a little honey on bread served with mac and cheese — a throwback to the old school cafeteria days. Also, I’ve been giving more to the foodbank this year than ever before and I’m sure they would truly appreciate something as wonderful as this! Thanks for considering us in such a fun and delicious drawing.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:55 pm
We are a family of peanut butter fans! As a dip, in peanut butter and honey or jam sandwiches, in desserts–it’s all delicious! A nice protein pick-me-up is a spoonful of peanut butter in the afternoon.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
Where do I begin? The appropriate place would be as a little girl… Without a doubt a peanut butter and jelly made with my grandmothers homemade strawberry jam was always my choice. And the one discrepancy I had was that there had to be MORE peanut butter than jelly. I remember the first time I realized I had to give that instruction if someone else was preparing it for me, as they had made me a PB&J with more jelly! From then on, I was sure to specify.
As I have grown up I learned indeed that there is nothing better than buying organic peanut butter. Recently out of desparation for no other options, I bought a jar of one of those “choosy moms” brands. As a person who eats it by the spoonful, I could not finish this jar and had to go straight to the market to find some organic PB.
I continue to enjoy a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich… But my guilty pleasure will always be by the spoonful… Just one tablespoon could satisfy a craving at any time. My husband loathes it but I cannot help myself. And I owe it to you, Whole Foods, for giving me sanction to do this. The last time I made a trip to your store (I don’t live in a town with one so it usually requires a trip), I bought a jar of 365 crunchy organic peanut butter and on the jar it read “We choose the freshest, organic peanuts and add a hint of organic sugar and sea salt for you to enjoy on a sandwich, in recipes, or… By the spoonful!”. Thank you for supporting my indulgence. New case of peanut butter or not, I will always have some on hand for that.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:56 pm
I personally like a banana with a scoop of peanut butter, very yummy. I use most of my peanut butter to make sack lunches that I give to homeless people when I see them on the corner. I try to include some fruit and sometimes a bottle of water too, depends on my budget. My kids and I have been doing this for years. As a nurse my experience is that many will use cash for habits that are clearly destroying them, but I don’t want to ignore their plight either. So the lunch is a good way to help them with a daily need without helping their addictions.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I have a small obsession with peanut butter. On toast, right out of the jar, in cookies..putting it in my pumpkin oatmeal is my favorite though!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:57 pm
I love this smoothie-
Vanilla Almond Milk or whatever your favorite milk is
Frozen Bananas
Peanut Butter
… all to taste. Takes some time to figure-out the best ratio for you, but we like lots of frozen banana and PB!
BLEND & ENJOY!
March 10th, 2010 at 1:58 pm
I like the unexpected twist of making a Pom + PB Sandwich!
I go outside, and grab a ripe pomegranate from the tree and sprinkle the pom seeds on a layer of peanut butter on a toasted slice of bread. The great thing about it is the seeds stick nicely in place and act as an all natural “sweet jelly.” It’s crunchy, sweet, tart, and fun to make.
March 10th, 2010 at 1:59 pm
If I had the chance, I would swim in peanut butter, I love it that much. The sweet and salty flavor is quite possibly my favorite taste in the world. I like peanut butter sandwiches, obviously, with it’s notorious partner in crime, grape jelly. Beyond that, though, peanut butter (or peanuts) gets worked into most every conceivable recipe in my house. Peanut butter pancakes? Check. Peanut satay? Check. Peanuts split in half with a raisin squished in between to make a miniscule “hamburger” over and over again? Check. If I won a case of peanut butter, I would invite every kid in my neighborhood over for a peanut butter picnic. Even that 14-year-old who is always cutting through my yard, even though I’ve asked him not to at least 20 times. There would be peanut butter jars laid out on tables like fresh watercolor painting sets ready for first graders in art class. The rest of the table would be stocked with all the creative supplies one could need to make the perfect peanut butter concoction. Honey, jam, marmalade, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, the aforementioned pancake batter, cookie dough, butter and mayonaisse (I don’t like it, but one of my cousins lived on peanut butter and mayonaisse sandwiches when we were little). Apple slices, celery, pears – oh, pears dipped in peanut butter and drizzed in honey! – cookies to make a castle using peanut butter as the concrete to hold it all together. Every kid could have as much peanut butter as they wanted, however they wanted, playing and eating until their bellies couldn’t take it any more. Then, I would clean up the yard and go inside, grab a spoon and the single untouched jar of peanut butter that I stashed before the picnic and commence to eat it, slowly, bite by bite.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
There really is nothing that beats a pb&j on toasted rustic whole wheat bread. I also enjoy it in my oatmeal daily, on crackers, in cookies, with apples, you name it! I cant get enough!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
I love PB on my toasted bagel and PB with apricot jam. Back in high school cooking class, I would make PB cookies for my classmates, for lunch.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Oh, PB on homemade sourdough toasties in the am. PB on apples, PB on the end of the spoon. PB for the dog and then watch him enjoy licking his palate. So much fun!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:02 pm
I love PB on my toasted bagel and PB with apricot jam. Back in high school cooking class, I would make PB cookies for all my classmates, for lunch.

Peanut butter is my favorite part of dieting! Peanut butter on celery, peanut butter on apples, the occasional spoonful to get me through to the next meal…I would love to win this. And of course there’s nothing wrong with the occasional peanut butter blossom cookie — in moderation

I love PB on my toasted bagel and PB with apricot jam. Back in high school cooking class, I would make PB cookies regularly for all my classmates, for lunch.

I start my day with peanut butter. For breakfast on graham crackers, toast you get lots of protein. I have it on celery, crackers, sandwiches not only peanut butter and jelly but try peanut butter and 365 mayo on a sandwich. I bake cookies, cakes and icing for the cake ,we make dressing. How about a peanut butter milk shake. Use your imagination. Most of all on a day of play with grandchildren a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. Then at night a fire to roash marshmollows, chocolate acraham crackers and peanut butter. It is always in my cabinet. And i would rather have peanutbutter than chocolate any day.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Peanut butter on everything that ketchup doesn’t go on ;o
But the best is with bananas and chocolate. Either in muffins, pancakes or cookies. And a dash of cinnamon and a cup of oatmeal can even make it better! Peanut butter is my best friend, when my hypoglycemia acts up, all I need is a spoonful of peanut butter and I am ready to go again. Of course I could go on and on about all the ways to enjoy it, because as I said, on everything that ketchup doesn’t go on!
If I had a case of peanut butter though, I would probably share it with the food bank my daughter and I help at, because really how could we eat a whole case fast enough ;0, well, it would still be good to share. Thanks

Lets face it, there is nothing better than Reese Peanut Butter Cups. However my little chocolate dipped peanut butter balls are a close rival! They just melt in your mouth and have a very creamy center. This recipe is great for the Holiday Season. You’re family will love them! If your mouth waters with that little thought…Don’t blame the peanut butter, it’s not its fault!
A poem:
Peanut butter lovers, whether near or far
are held together by our favorite little jar.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I would spread the love with your peanut butter to Advocates For Children in Bartow County. They need peanut butter for their kids. I would really enjoy the peanut butter then, in more ways than one.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
I normally use peanut butter a lot in cooking such as satay sauce, homemade salad dressing for vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and avocado, not just for bread.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:05 pm
Every morning my boyfriend makes me weak in the knees. Don’t worry this a G-rated post. While he does make my heart sing, it’s the sheer bliss that the aroma of the melting peanut butter in his oatmeal that sends my mind on a heavenly journey. Peanut Butter is my one true vice. From candy, to cookies, to salads, to noodles – if it has peanut butter in it than I will happily snuggle up next to it and make it my culinary friend. It’s also an editable vice that won’t bite me back as long as I treat it with care and don’t overdue it. After all – it’s packed with protein and blends with just about anything. If I would get win a case of peanut butter I would probably share some with my boyfriend to ensure his oatmeal is kept to perfection, and then use some of it to bake peanut butter goodness for all my family and friends. Don’t worry – there will be plenty left to satisfy my own wicked peanut butter desires.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Peanut Butter is part of my daily eating. I would use the case of peanut butter, as mentioned, on a daily basis. It is nutrious and delicious on toast for me. Two pieces of Ezekiel 4:9 bread and Arrowhead Mills Crunchy Valencia Peanut Butter is over the top eating. By the way, the Arrowhead Mills Crunchy Valencia Peanut Butter is Sodium Free.
Peanut Butter is a major source of protein for me as it provides the power for me to run, ski and work out at Gold’s Gym in Hershey, PA. I enjoy peanut butter so much that I usually buy two or three 26 oz jars at a time. I never want to run out of peanut butter. While it has been suggested by Runner’s World Magazine to substitute almond butter, I have been faithful to the PB. When on a trip to a race or skiing I pack PB sandwiches and add raisins. What a joy and delight to bite into one after a race or driving on the road.
Lastly, as I think about myself so much or too much, I would give some of the case of PB to those individuals that are having a difficult time finding sources of food for themselves and their families. In fact, I would give the entire case to a family in need or a food shelter.
Thank you for reading my thoughts!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
Right now, I eat about a jar of peanut butter a week. Yep, just me, the whole jar, straight up, on a knife, no special additions to take away from the pure flavor of the peanut butter. Luckily, I swim or run daily, so I can satisfy my peanut butter addiction without adverse effects. So, if I had a whole case, I’m sure I would just keep eating it with my favorite knife.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:06 pm
I take a nice big bar of organic dark chocolate and spread a gooey thick layer of peanut butter on top like icing – incredible! Either that, or I toast a bun and spread it first with later of tofutti cream cheese and then a layer of peanut butter – double yummy.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:07 pm
A thin spread of peanut butter on hot, whole-wheat toast. It melts and oozes to the crisp edges.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
My two favorite ways to eat peanut butter:
1. A Peanut Butter sandwich with a bottle of beer.
2. Peanut Butter on vanilla ice cream.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I guess my favorite thing would be my morning peanut butter toast with just a drizzle of honey. Yummy!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:09 pm
I would enjoy peanut butter by having a peanut butter party! I would make my grandmas special peanut butter pie recipe and serve is with peanut butter shakes! YUM…then everyone could have a jar of peanut butter to go after the peanut butter party.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Theres so much you can do with peanut butter. It taste great straight out of the jar and in exotic asian dishes as well. We go thought alot of jars at my house. Id definately cook with it as well as just eat it with fruits like bananas & apples. Even on veggies such as celery and carrots, yes carrots. Whats extra yummy is when cooking brownies is to put globs of PB into the batter before baking. As well as slathering it on top of chocolate chip cookies.(my mouth is watering just thinking about that) Love any kind of PB..extra crunchy, crunchy, smooth! Pb mixed into smoothies is delish too. Mixing pb and vanilla yogurt and then freezing for a creamy dessery. Ah peanut butter the limits are endless and Id do a lot with a care of it!!! For sure!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
I love peanut butter. Besides peanut butter with fluff or jelly, I love it in oatmeal, on apples, with crackers… I would love to start cooking with it. I buy peanut butter on most of my biweekly shopping trips.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:11 pm
How *don’t* I enjoy peanut butter?! I love it with fruit, in cookies, on oatmeal… etc! It’s also fabulous when smeared on top of some yummy Medjool dates and studded with bits of dark chocolate. Mmm.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Wow!! What wouldn’t I do?? I have four children 11,9, 9 and 7. All of whom LOVE peanut butter and honey sandwiches for school lunches. In the afternoon when they get home from school they want peanut butter spread on a piece of bread. I also serve them peanut butter on sliced apples and bananas. Heck, we’ve even spread it on warm pancakes as a snack for them!
I have to confess that I eat it by the spoonful when I’m craving something sweet. What I love is to spread some on a piece of dark chocolate…my decadent treat.
We love peanut butter in the Cook household and would be so blessed to win an entire case!!!!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
1 gallon of 365 vanilla ice cream, 1 Green and Black 85% dark chocolate bar and 1 – 365 jar of organic peanut butter…over and over again. Need I say more?
March 10th, 2010 at 2:13 pm
My husband, Roger, loves to eat peanut butter in the night before bedtime. He adds chocolate syrup to it and makes a sweet and fairly healthy snack! He often goes through a jar in one to two days! So, winning a case would be wonderful!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Oh my goodness what I could do with a case of peanut butter! It is my anytime snack on crackers with milk, slathered on a banana, in smoothies, in brownies, on noodles, melted over ice cream, sauce to dip with spring rolls, dipping a piece of dark chocolate into…yum, yum, YUM!!! During both my pregnancies peanut butter on crackers or sandwiches with milk was my constant craving – at times it was the only thing I could eat that didn’t bother me – and now I have 2 healthy peanut butter loving children. It is the perfect food
March 10th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
My favorite way to eat peanut butter is the good old fashion, peanut butter on soft white bread as a sandwich. Mmmmm…
March 10th, 2010 at 2:16 pm
I have to ration my peanut butter intake to save money (especially since I’ve been known to eat 1/4 jar at a time with just a spoon!) but twith a whole case of it, I’d eat it without abandon! My favorite pairing: PB and banana.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
I love cooking and I love my kitchen. I like to make my kitchen look inviting and welcoming. A jar 365 Everyday Value® Organic Peanut Butter sits well in sight on my counter and calls out for a healthy snack of PB&J before I set out for a hike or evening bike ride.
Speaking of energy snacks, I mix 1 lb of crunchy peanut butter with 1 lb of 365 Everyday Value Whey Protein powder, make 1 inch balls and store them in the freezer. Before a heavy workout or couple miles run, nothing does a better job than snacking on a couple of these to give you energy and protein.
Try it out. Add some chocolate chips or crunched almonds or flax seeds and the healthometer just ramps up!
Love this stuff!

March 10th, 2010 at 2:17 pm
Eat it!
It’s peanut butter…in a sense the perfect food. You can make countless things with it, but my favorite is getting a spoon and eating out of the jar! Just don’t use a big spoon otherwise it will be gone before you know it!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
My wife for years has had a passion for eating peanut butter on prunes. Though seemingly incongruous, it “works” – - in more ways than one.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I miss having peanut butter on a bagel every morning. That’s what I had for breakfast for almost 20 years, and then I was diagnosed with celiac. Obviously, I can still eat gluten-free bagels, but they are far too expensive to eat every day. So I put peanut butter on anything that I can think of, and simply long for the days of my protein-filled breakfasts.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:21 pm
I adore peanut butter! I always have more than one jar because I never want to run out of it. I love that it is both comforting and nutritious.
A grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a delicious change from the “cold” version (just be careful….hot jelly can hurt!). I make a yummy peanut butter hummus. My favorite treat is spreading peanut butter on squares of dark chocolate-better than anything you can buy already prepared! But I suppose my most favorite way of eating peanut butter is for breakfast. I spread it on a banana, cut it up and sprinkle it with Kashi cereal. I’ve eaten this same breakfast for over a year!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Peanut butter is the perfect food for camping and hiking and days at the beach.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Peanut butter is good for any meal breakfast, lunch or dinner. My whole family eats peanut butter on a daily basis. I always say when I don’t want to cook I can always have a peanut butter sandwich, or on an apple with a salad or make salad dressing. It has such a great taste. I will be easy to please when I get old (I’m only 59) just buy me a jar of peanut butter and some crackers and I can survive. I even eat it just on a spoon, it is sooo good. You put peanut butter in the computer and there are so many recipes, like I said there is not just one meal but it can be added to most meals, if you are vegetarian it is a great source of protein.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:23 pm
My favorite way is to have a healthy spreading of smooth peanut butter on freshly toasted whole wheat bread with a sliced banana on top. Another way is to spread it on granola and banana pancakes. Or, make stuffed french toast w/ peanut butter as the stuffing. Spread it on an apple, spread it on celery, pour on some chocolate. My brother likes peanut butter and tuna sandwiches so I’ll give him a jar for that!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Possibly more than anything on the planet, I hate having the hiccups. If I had a choice of being poked with hot, sharp sticks or having to endure the hiccups for 24 hours, I’d go with the sticks. The only good thing about having the hiccups is that my go-to, works every time cure for them is downing a giant spoonful of peanut butter! I have trekked miles on foot across foreign cities at night to find mythical peanut-butter-carrying convenience stores to cure my hiccups. I have pb stashes in my boyfriend’s car, my desk, my gym bag, every purse I own… all because of my hiccup aversion. I do tend to deplete these stashes frequently, because I also just plain love peanut butter. On a spoon. To cure hiccups or to cure hunger, it’s definitely a go-to.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Peanut Butter – the most versatile food out there! It’s a wonderful source of protein and vitamin E, not to mention just down right tasty! I would use my case of peanut butter in the classic PB&J fix on those days when you just need to be a kid, but my primary use would go to my breakfast – whole grain english muffin slathered with peanut butter, stacked high with banana slices, and sandwiched together. Yummy!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:25 pm
I like my peanut butter right off the spoon! YUM
March 10th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
I love peanut butter! My favorite peanut butter recipe is a sandwich I always get when I go to Cleveland. It is organic peanut butter grilled on pita with five different cheeses and lettuce and tomato! Yum! On a regular day, I enjoy peanut butter straight from the jar with a spoon and my puppy sitting next to me enjoying it as well. We have separate spoons though…sometimes.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Peanut chicken is the best. Equal amounts of peanut butter and chicken stock make the sauce for a package of noodles, cooked chicken, and peanuts dropped on top. Not a day goes by that the peanut butter jar is not opened. It’s great on a miniature Hershey bar for a treat.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:30 pm
OOOh, a CASE of peanut butter! I LOVE it on my waffles in the morning, on oatmeal, on crackers, on a spoon…….. Love the 365 brand, too (not just for peanut butter). I *guess* I would share some, only because I would be 3 sizes bigger if I ate it all!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:32 pm
I would eat pb & j sandwiches everyday for lunch!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Well…I would stuff my celery with it till I dropped…yum! Makes me feel like a kid again when I munch on that. I would also treat my grandkids to one of their favorite – peanut butter filled pancakes. And I would of course share some with my dog Buster – he too is a huge peanut butter fan!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:35 pm
We love peanut butter at our house! We eat it most often on toast with raisins or jelly, in sandwiches, or as a topping for waffles and pancakes. We also enjoy cereal peanut butter bars for a snack!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
Peanut Butter is an essential for life! Growing up, I ate PB&J sandwiches EVERY day at school. My dining hall in college allowed me to come up with an assortment of PB concoctions. As an adult, I’ve come to love PB dips, sauces, dessets and my 2 dogs even get weekly bones filled with PB. There’s simply no explanation to describe the delicious fantasticness of PB. If I were to win a case of PB, I’d like to promise I would share, but we’ll see….
March 10th, 2010 at 2:36 pm
I love eating peanut butter best on a spoon straight from the jar!!
I also love making a peanut butter smoothies, with frozen bananas and milk.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Peanut butter and a nice crisp granny smith apple is a healthy and delicious snack!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:37 pm
There are lots of ways I like to eat peanut butter, and I don’t know how many jars are in a case, but I promise my 2 year old son would make short work of it! He sounds a bit like your brother, although he eats it on toast, not bread. He also accepts sunbutter and almond butter, which is good because he does eat toast pretty much everyday for lunch. BUT, to answer your question, my FAVORITE way to eat it has to be CRUNCHY peanut butter on Dicamillo’s italian bread, toasted. Dicamillo’s is a bakery in Niagara Falls, NY where I grew up. Still can’t beat their italian bread or chocolate covered, cream filled donuts…
March 10th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
We would make the gluten free peanut butter cookies because my children are on special diets. We like to dip pear slices in peanut butter. I even just like to mix it up with a real fruit (no additives) jelly & eat it off a spoon!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Currently, my favorite way to eat peanut butter is with the gluten-free peanut butter cooke recipe posted above. My partner said they were crispy-soft like sugar cookies- they disapeared quickly! With a entire case, I would probably make several batches for my work office. As I also go to school, peanut butte gets enjoyed by the spoonful on my way out the door, spread on sprouted bread with pickles, bananas and honey, or chocolate chips. And quite honestly, my dogs have their own peanut butter jar as we fill their toys with it to keep them busy while we are away. PB is a household staple.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
I would continue to eat it every day. A case may last me a whole year. I only buy organic peanut butter. I grew up eating Skippy Peanut Butter, but not no more since I learned all about partially hydrogenated oils. I love peanut butter on organic crackers, apples, and especially on organic bread. It’s very healthy for you and adds protein to your diet.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:40 pm
We love peanut butter on our waffles, in our sandwiches, in our cookies, on top of our ice cream and somedays we just like a big spoonful of it. It’s also great for dipping apple slices in.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:43 pm
I use only non-sweetened pnut butter due to loving that pnut taste, and it is my salvation when I have a sweet craving. My favorite is to stir in some raw unfiltered honey, then I melt a small square of organic dark chocolate, stir or drizzle over it, and eat with some slices of banana some strawberries (I live in a strawberry growers’ area) or maybe some crunchy crackers. yummmmm helps immensely to control my weight!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I would make the biggest batch of peanut butter cookie dough, and probably freeze 3/4s of it for later–meanwhile, managing only to bake about a dozen cookies because the dough itself is so good, who needs cookies?!
The recipe is an old one from my great grandmother. It makes a wonderfully peanut buttery cookie that is a little more salty and a little less sweet than your average peanut butter cookie. The dough itself tastes like heaven. In fact, I made a batch with a group of friends over the holidays, and we never got around to making the actual cookies–we just had wonderful organic peanut butter cookie dough!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
Peanut Butter! Yum! We love natural, crunchy peanut butter…no margarine, no oils, no sugar, no additives, with no salt added. How do we eat peanut butter? We eat natural peanut butter on whole grain bread or thin sandwich bun with sliced bananas, on a rib of celery, on apple slices, on healthy crackers, in whole grain pancakes or waffles, in cookies, in place of frosting; we’re always trying it out with something new!
If we won a case of peanut butter, we would share it with the local food pantry and our neighbors; everyone can always use a food with good nutrients like peanut butter!
Thank you, Whole Foods, for the opportunity of winning a case of peanut butter! And thanks for sharing the story of the Binghams! Wonderful.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:48 pm
We eat PB all the time. We go through a jar a week. We had a major crisis when the elementary school went PB free. My poor daughter would only eat PB sandwich- no jelly. She ate bread and butter for the entire year. It is PB on toast or bananas for breakfast. PB sandwiches for lunch. And my daughter’s favorite- PB on Oreo cookies. Probably not something I should admit to letting her eat. PB cookies and PB fudge
March 10th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
I’d bake until the cows come home! I do a lot of baking with peanut butter–as well as eating it. I am a vegetarian so it is an easy and delicious way of getting some protein and a healthy as well as pleasurable food for the palate. Love the stuff! With 10,000+ recipes, it isn’t hard to find plenty of reasons to use up that great tasting ingredient (and maybe snag a few bites to keep my strength up in the kitchen!)
March 10th, 2010 at 2:53 pm
We love just plain peanut butter and crackers the best. All we use is 365 Organic Peanut Butter. I have plans to make some chocolate peanut butter candy too. Could really use a whole case!!
March 10th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
I would buy a bunch of bananas and some bread to go with it and take it to the abused children’s center in our city. Let me tell you why. At age 7 to 9, I lived in an orphanage and our school lunch was a PBS(no jelly–we called it chokebutter) with an apple except on the days they gave us potted meat sandwiches (yuk) and an apple. We carried these to school wrapped in a newspaper. Once at a church potluck, I happened to eat a PBS with banana mixed in. I thought I was in heaven. So I would like to give this treat to these children to show that there is still love and other good things in this world.
March 10th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
Here’s what I would do with a case of Peanut Butter: First, I would enjoy a sandwich with Ezekiel 4:9 toasted bread with jelly – yum! Then, I would give some of the Peanut Butter jars to my friends, Crystal and Hector who have a blended family which includes Matthew who is in a wheelchair and has Cerebral Palsy. The family is often very short on foods and they have a tendency to get sick cause they don’t get proper nutrition. Peanut Butter – especially a natural brand would give them energy and more protein and would at least bring down their susceptibility to colds and flus – that’s what I would do with PB
March 10th, 2010 at 3:01 pm
The best thing in the world is your 365 peanut butter (smooth) on your Seeduction Bread. It’s my morning treat!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:05 pm
You can’t beat peanut butter as a staple food. As children, my siblings and I would jockey to be the first to start a new jar. The lucky one would surreptitiously carve her initial into the unblemished top and then close the jar as tightly as possible so the next person to open the jar would at first think they were the first. I love it on…. PB&J sandwiches, an English muffin with honey, apples, bananas, ice cream, celery, a spoon. I love it in… PB oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, thai peanut sauce, chocolate peanut butter balls, granola bars. If I had a case, I’d share it with my 7-year-old who loves it as much as (or more) than I do. Maybe I’d send a jar to each of my siblings, too….
March 10th, 2010 at 3:07 pm
I eat peanut butter with breakfast every day! Whether it’s plopped on top of my bowl of oatmeal, mixed into a smoothie, or just spread on toast, I love it! And I feel good eating it at 33 weeks pregnant, knowing it has healthy fats for my baby!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:08 pm
Peanut butter has a special place in my heart for so many reasons. First of all, it helped me survive my first year of being a vegan while going to high school in a small Texas town. Believe it or not, the local chicken, BBQ, and country food places didn’t have many options for me. I would have PB & J for my 2nd breakfast (after swim practice) and for lunch every day. The only exceptions were the days that I ate PB & Banana, or PB & Syrup.
Peanut Butter and Syrup was my families go-to and backwoods dessert for years. If my mom didn’t make a desert for dinner, she would just sit the jar and bottle on the table, like her dad used to do. We’d then take the two, mix them up with a fork on a plate or in a bowel, and have at it. Most of the times we would dip bread or biscuits into it, but some times we would break down and just eat it out with a spoon. I can’t tell you how many times I got the mixture on my nose from licking the bowel as a kid.
Now, I’m a vegan triathlete, and I can put down some food with the best of them. I don’t have to worry about the calories or fats in PB; actually, I appreciate it for those exact qualities. How many other things can you eat that create as much energy in such a small amount. Though I eat PB almost every day, I don’t eat Peanut Butter and Syrup very often. I save it as a reward for when I finish a tough event!
If I had a case of Peanut Butter I would serve it at my Graduation Party this May, haha. I think it would be a quirky blending of my past and my present. What better way to celebrate my family’s support than to indulge with them in our personal treat!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I love PB for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a midnight snack. I especially love the WFM brand without any added sugar. I take it on toast with cinnamon raisin bread. PB is also an essential baking ingredient in my household for PB and chocolate chip cookies, or PB frosting on a chocolate cake.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
I have celiac disease, therefore am gluten-free, so peanut butter is an absolute must in my home. I LOVE PB for lunch and as a component to dessert. My favorite dessert is peanut butter, chocolate chip blondies. YUM!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:18 pm
Wjat would I do with a case of peanut butter? What *wouldn’t* I do?! I’d branch outside my usual suspects (peanut butter on toast or crackers) and whip up a batch or two of peanut butter cookies, experiment with chicken satay, and maybe even try a chocolate peanut butter pie. On the lighter side, apple slices or celery dipped in peanut butter are always a good snack. And what about a good old pb and banana sandwich? Yup, that case would be gone in no time!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I could totally understand your obsession. I go months at a time eating PB sandwiches. At home, my mom and I fight for the last bit of PB. I eat it spoonfulls at a time ~ especially after a long run! I even have payed almost $10 for a peanut butter sandwich. Smooth, crunchy, honey or natural – I love it all! Peanut butter rocks!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I’m a self professed peanut butter nut. When I was kid I used to take spoonfuls of peanut butter as a snack. It was a real treat to sprinkle coarse white sugar on the top and press it into the creamy goodness with my tongue. Never able to get enough I received a nice spanking for sneaking (and hiding) one of my spoonfuls of nutty buddy under the kitchen sink. As a teen I made peanut butter cookies so often that no longer had to measure the ingredients, and knew that everything was perfect when the dough was the consistency of freshly fallen snow that is been kneeded by the tread of many car tires. Now I add make savory dishes like peanut butter soup, and also add a few spoonfuls to various curry dishes (my own concoctions). Another great way to enjoy peanut butter is the way I did as a school kid – spread eveningly on a single slice of bread, folded over and squished into a tiny ball, and licking the sticky peanut butter from my fingers. But like all things it is best to share. So I’d make a couple of dozen cookies for the kids attending our children’s church. That’s when we can get fancy – chocolate chips and m&ms are always a big hit. I’d also give a jar to my Mom – I don’t think she has ever eaten organic peanut butter. I’d also make P&J sandwiches for my daughter’s lunch and see if she could tell the difference between organic and ‘brand’ name peanut butter. Finally, every once in a while (usually late at night, as a fun treat) my daughter and I will each take a tablespoon of 365 Everyday Value organic peanut butter, sprinkle it with sugar and sit in front of the TV, enjoying our peanutty buddy.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Peanut butter is sort of an addiction for me.
I finish a jar around every two weeks..
(I’m pretty sure it’s unhealthy like you said, Ms. Brady!)
Anyway, as an answer to your question:
I toast a whole wheat tortilla wrap in the toaster oven to make it nice and crispy.
Then, I spread a thin layer of peanut butter as a barrier, for the rinsed, patted dry, diced strawberries and blackberries on top.
Use a sprig of mint for garnish and enjoy!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:28 pm
As most may agree, peanut butter should be considered its own food group!! It sure is wonderful to use in a variety of ways including baked foods, with fruit, in stews…well the list can go on and on. Personally, I love to mix it in my morning shake with banana and flax seeds. My children on the other hand do what most children do- they sneak into the cupboard, dip their finger, and eat it straight from the jar. When they get caught, they pull a spoon out of their pocket then take a big scoop of PB and smile:)I must admit I do the same when they’re not looking, ha!

I enjoy peanut butter on crackers the most!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:30 pm
I like it many ways: on toast, in oatmeal, in yogurt, with apple slices, or straight out the jar.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
Nothing can beat a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:34 pm
I grew up on peanut butter. It’s practically all I would eat. If we went out to a restaurant my mom would bring along a peanut butter sandwich in her purse just for me. She always called me her “peanut butter kid.” It’s the one food I will never get sick of eating! I will literally try just about anything that is peanut butter flavored! Nowadays I am a little more adventurous and eat or drink it in a variety of ways: smoothies with bananas and mangoes or chocolate soymilk, in sauces for stir fry, dipping sauce, crushed peanuts with dates and salt smashed together to make a bar, in hot oatmeal, straight on a banana or apple, and 2 of my favorite desserts: on a whole wheat tortilla with honey or smeared on a piece of dark chocolate! Loves me some peanut butter!!

Well, I definitely love peanut butter and love to eat it in many different ways: on a banana, on toast mixed with Nutella or by itself, and of course in PBJ sandwiches. But, I’d have to say that my favorite mode of peanut butter consumption (and the way that kept me sane and nourished when I broke my jaw and had to have my mouth wired shut for three weeks) is the glorious peanut butter and chocolate milk shake! Just put ice cream, milk, chocolate powder (my favorite is Ghirardelli), and several generous scoops of peanut butter in a blender and mix it up until it reaches the perfect consistency. And enjoy! I would certainly make a lot of these if I had a whole a case of peanut butter. But with my fully healed jaw I would take large, indulgent gulps rather than painstakingly sipping the delicious nectar through the small gaps in my wired-laced teeth. Though I might try a little of that for old-time’s sake.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
I love peanut butter on Granny Smith Apple slices.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:39 pm
Although not as obsessive as your brother, I do indeed eat peanut butter every day. I don’t eat it at every meal but I do put it in my oatmeal for breakfast every morning. It’s the perfect protein in my diet. I also mix it with Soy sauce and pour it over Soba noodles or marinate tofu or tempeh in it. I keep it a jar in my desk to dip pretzels, apples or just eat off a spoon when I need an afternoon boost. I love the stuff, but hold the blasted jelly!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:40 pm
I ate a peanut butter sandwich for lunch every day of my childhood. Nowadays I’m most likely to have it on top of chocolate, but I have rediscovered the joys of the pb sandwich recently. Also, I have converted my husband to a peanut butter fan: somehow, he never ate it as a kid!
March 10th, 2010 at 3:43 pm
Hello Whole Foods!
If people don’t think there is a difference between peanut butter, they must be nuts. I make organic dog cookies and would never put anything in my cookies that has over two ingredients. If I can’t pronounce it, I don’t want it. And neither do the dogs who eat my treats. Organic peanut butter is very important to me and my four legged friends, whether they know it or not. If I won a case of your wonderful peanut butter I would use it to make more delicious dog cookies.Thank You Whole Foods for providing only the best.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:50 pm
The Peanut Butter hound in our family, is the DOG.
He loves it as a treat, we put it on his dog bones, then hide
them in his Kong toy. When he wants Peanut butter, he finds his
Kong and brings it to us. Sometimes, he is really fussy and won’t eat his regular food, so we just spread some peanut butter on top, and sure enough that gets him to eat his food.
We keep one Jar just for the Dog, that way we can dip his milk bones right in the jar. The people in the house, generally eat peanut butter on apples.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:55 pm
I estimate that I have eaten on average an 18 oz jar of peanut butter every week for the past 40 years of my life (I am 46). The organic peanut butter at Whole Foods is the best deal out there. I will eat peanut butter straight out of the jar, on a bagel (mixed with some raw honey – awesome), on bananas. I feel so sorry for my eight year old niece who is allergic and will never know the joy of the legume.
March 10th, 2010 at 3:56 pm
peanut butter, honey and mascarpone sandwiches and sesame cilantro vermicelli salad with a sauce made of peanut butter.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I like my PBJs with delicious crunchy 365 Organic Peanut Butter, and orange marmalade on artisan bread– usually with an afternoon cup a joe. Banana on the side.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I enjoy peanut butter in a variety of ways, including sandwiched with bananas (though not fried like Elvis liked them), or – one of my favorites – with “365″ fruit-juice-sweetened plum spread instead of grape jelly.
I also like peanut butter with honey. When I had known the man who would eventually be my husband for only a few days, I made him a peanut butter and honey sandwich. He told me later that he was impressed by the artistic way I dribbled the honey over the peanut butter.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Something I used to eat almost everyday for a healthy snack was toast with peanut butter, banana, and honey. It was nutritious and so good! Sometimes I will just take a spoonful when I want a snack. However, as I am working with a group that assists in providing aid to Haiti, I would give up my peanut butter-banana-honey treats so that I could send a case over there. Three spoonfuls each day could dramatically improve the health of a malnourished child.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:17 pm
What would I do with a case of PB? I would buy a case of spoons and a dozen cans of whip cream. Then I would call Dr. Drew Pinski!!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
I am 12 years old, and love to cook. I always try new food combinations … to get ideas for the restaurant I will own someday. One of my favorite foods is peanut butter. My mom buys it in the largest jugs possible. I especially love to have it in warm crepes with chocolate and marshmallow, or in crepes with bananas and caramel sauce on top! Either way, crepes and peanut butter is hard to beat! Half a crate will go to the Grand Forks food pantry if I win the prize, because all kids should have a chance to learn to love peanut butter!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:21 pm
My daughter has PB&J or “PP&J” as she calls it for lunch almost every day. Heavy on the PB and light on the J. Plus she started adding cheese the other day and loved it. She usually has her “PP&J” on whole wheat, but today she tried it on corn tortillas. She would be so excited if I brought home a case of PB for her “PP&J’s”. Plus I would share with my sister and her three kids.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Hi there…grandma got me hooked on peanut butter and butter on toasted homeade bread…That is the best….Also as of late I have been indulging with peanut butter and nutella…Now that is “special”. I just feel good when I eat peanut butter.
Have a great day!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I would give some to my roommate. She eats the delicious, creamy flavor by the spoonful and the crunchy kind with nuts and dried fruit at our dining hall. Who says that peanut butter and bananas aren’t the best breakfast ever? We have bonded over peanut butter and I gave her some to take with her to her Calc 3 exam, just in case she got hungry in the middle of it. Peanut butter is the best “power food.” But she would have to share the case with me, so I could join her in eating organic, good quality peanut butter rather than what we eat at the dining hall. And, my sister, who loved “P” food (peanut butter, pickles, pizza, pie…) would also want a share in the case! With a little bit of love and a whole case of it… man, I would be in peanut butter heaven!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Oh the possibilities of a case of peanut butter – similar to dreaming of my garden looking at seed packets. Let’s see, baked goods, smoothies, marinades, salad dressings, s’mores, just dunking hunks of chocolate in it…
March 10th, 2010 at 4:29 pm
PEANUT BUTTER IS MY MOST FAVORITE THING.I EAT IT ON A SPOON ALL BY ITSELF. A SPOONFUL OF PEANUT BUTTER IS MY DESSERT AFTER EVERY MEAL. YUMMY
March 10th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
A lot of the time I enjoy my peanut butter plain, spoon to mouth (!). I know that isn’t always the healthiest thing, but in moderation, compared to other junk food I could be consuming, I’m more comfortable with this guilty pleasure. Besides, I’m getting my protein!
Another thing I enjoy is making peanut milk (with about 2 tsp. peanut butter and a little xanthan gum to thicken), and organic peanut butter lends an AMAZING taste to smoothies (especially chocolate smoothies, in my opinion). I also like to balance out the abundance of omega-6 fats found in peanut butter with homemade walnut butter, chock full of omega-3’s. I can have my peanut butter, and eat it too!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:34 pm
Whoever doesn’t believe that each peanut butter brand is different had got to be crazy. We like our peanut butter to have no sugar but to include some salt. And we want it natural. With 4 small children and 2 adults who love PB we go through it faster than I can stock it. I have tried all the different kinds out there – from major grocery store brands to lesser know store brands and of course the name brands that offer natural. Whole Foods’ brand is definitely our favorite. I’m not even sure a case would last us that long

March 10th, 2010 at 4:37 pm
I love peanut butter, any and all kinds! I am actually eating a small bowl of my favorite snack/breakfast: PB&J Oatmeal! Love, love, love.
I would love to win a jar!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:39 pm
My husband eats it almost everyday, the sugar free kind preferably. He likes to have it on toast, crackers, with celery and carrots, apples, pears and bananas and his chocolate candy (yuk). OK, I eat peanut butter too! I’ll add it to oatmeal, grits, and yes, sometimes pasta, I’ve used it to make peanut soup, along with pumpkin soup (secret ingredient). We certainly can’t forget the peanut butter cookies, YUM! Don’t tell anyone but I like it right out of the jar with some agave on it, hmmm, gulp. Oh yeah and my DH likes it on his stereo as in the song “Peanut Butter Conspiracy” by Jimmy Buffett, LOL!
March 10th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I enjoy peanut butter on a pretty much daily basis. On toast for breakfast, on bread or apples for lunch, a spoonful as a snack, especially with a chocolate square on it.
March 10th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
I love peanut butter! I think it is one of the most versatile ingredients out there. I love it on bread with bananas, in cookies, mixed into some vanilla ice cream….. the list could go on! If i had a case of peanut butter, I would use it everyday!!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:03 pm
I adore peanut butter! With any extra peanut butter I always love to make grain-free peanut butter chip cookies ( peanut butter, coconut oil, raw sugar, egg and homemade carob chips)
March 10th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
i love to have peanut butter on my toast in the mrning. I aso enjoy peanut butter on celery and carrot sticks. I make peanut butter cookies, which my family enjoys. I pack peanut butter sandwiches for the family when we go to the park.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:04 pm
I have loved peanut butter my entire life and almost all of my favorite desserts contain peanut butter and chocolate of some sort. 6 months ago I completely changed my diet to get rid of most refined sugar, processed foods and generally all the unhealthy habits I had picked up through life. Peanut butter, thankfully, made the cut and now it’s one of my favorite “guilty pleasures”. Although I limit my intake to a tablespoon or 2, I am constantly dreaming up new, healthy ways to indulge in one of my favorite foods. My latest was air-popped popcorn topped with drizzled warm peanut butter and some cocoa powder–yum! Sticking with my “less processed foods aproach”, I have switched from traditional peanut butter to organic natural peanut butter and 365 Everyday Value has made this change easy for me also. It tastes great and I don’t miss the hydrogenated oils at all;). There’s a richness in this food that makes me feel like a kid again and I’m so glad that it can be a lifelong “guilty” pleasure!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
We easily go through a jar a week at our house. It gets sandwiched between two slices of gf bread, mixed into satay sauce, spread on gf pancakes and waffles, made into several gf cookies, and often just scooped by the spoonful!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:09 pm
We are a big peanut butter family. The kids love it on their sandwiches, I love it on celery with raisins, and my husband loves it right out of the jar!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:10 pm
Oh gosh I love peanut butter!
In oatmeal, on apples, in smoothies, on toast, mixed in Greek yogurt and the list goes on.
Have not yet tried the 365 brand.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:11 pm
I love it with a little marshmallow creme on a low-sodium rice cake. It may not sound great to some, but the peanutty, gooey, crunchy awesomeness works for me.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:13 pm
My very favorite way to eat peanut butter is to slice a pickled jalapeno pepper and stuff it with creamy peanut butter. Sweet, nutty and spicy!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
My 10 year old eats a big spoonful of 365 Organic Peanut Butter with his Organic Morning O’s for breakfast most every morning! It is his favorite protein.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:14 pm
I enjoy peanut butter in several ways. SPREAD LIKE ICING OVER A GRANOLA BAR, OR ON TOAST, SPREAD ON ANIMAL CRACKERS WITH A DATE ON TOP, OR SIMPLY EATEN OFF THE SPOON WITH AN APPLE SLICE. I EAT PEANUT BUTTER ON THE DAYS I GO TO MY SPIN CLASS,IT KEEPS ME SATISFIED AND FULL OF ENERGY.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE PEANUT BUTTER.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Eat it straight out of the jar with fingers!!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I would keep a jar for my daily sandwich and oatmeal needs (mmm!) and give the rest to a project called Hope Feeds, for them to use in raising awareness about their program, which works in Africa with the aim of “establish[ing] a model of locally produced, peanut-butter-based, ready-to-use therapeutic food to meet the needs of malnourished pediatric and maternal populations”.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:30 pm
My absolute favorite is a ripe banana and waaaayyy too much PB. Or possibly a really good dark chocolate and PB. Or a simple PB&J on gluten free bread. I put PB in my morning smoothies with blueberries. I also make a delicious. healthy peanut butter chocolate cup. With a whole case I’d also make PB cookies, this yummy PB pie… I could go on and on. Peanut butter is really one of my favorite foods, can you tell?
March 10th, 2010 at 5:31 pm
I enjoy peanut butter mixed with cinnamon and raisins
spread on either apples or banannas! Yummy!
March 10th, 2010 at 5:34 pm
My family adores peanut butter. My 29 yr old son had a PB&J sandwich every day for 9 years when he was in school. He still eats them at least once a day. I love PB&J on toast for breakfast or a late night snack. If we had a case of PB, it would disappear quickly
March 10th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
I love the whole foods market tofu spring roll with peanut butter sauce!!! Delicious! And the classic peanut butter sandwich on organic whole grain bread is always good, too.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:45 pm
My love of peanut butter is a long one stemming from childhood. I grew up with peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches. Being that this was the main part of my elementary school lunches, it became a love of necessity in the beginning. I contnued with this love all the way through the rest of my school years. I still did not grow tired of it’s delicious taste. Now as a mature adult, I still indulge with the delicious treat. By the way, I gave it to my kids and they still enjoy it also.

March 10th, 2010 at 5:52 pm
Top my oatmeal, mix into my stir-fry’s, top my GF muffins. Oh the endless things I do at nearly every meal with PB!! Totally addicted
March 10th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
I would eat peanut butter on crackers, PB&J sandwiches, and on my favorite apple sandwich: sliced bananas, dried cranberries, and crunchy peanut butter sandwiched in between two or three apple slices. When I really need a hit of chocolate, I put peanut butter on the outer edges of the apple sandwich and sprinkle on some dark chocolate jimmies or shavings. This is a great way to get a healthy and hearty snack during the day without going for the nut-filled candy bar.
March 10th, 2010 at 5:58 pm
I don’t like peanut butter! When my sons were in junior high school we sponsoroed a Japanese exchange student named Yoshiaki. I used to make home made whole wheat flour tortillas and make my own peanut butter (I had a peanut butter making machine), and my sons and Yoshiaki used to eat peanut butter on tortillas when they got home from school. When it was time for Yoshiaki to return to Japan, I asked what he wanted to take back to his family. He said ‘peanut butter and tortillas!’
If I won a case of peanut butter, I’d donate it to the local thrift store. They let people take it at no charge, and may people in this rural community can use some free, healthy food.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:03 pm
I am in a rock band, and we spend about 7 months of the year touring across the US in a van with a trailer of gear. Eating healthy is crucial while on tour, and we all eat lots of peanut butter (especially when fast food is the only other option!). Between the four of us, we go through so much peanut butter… on sandwiches, crackers, celery, etc. I’m sure we’d go through this case very quickly!
March 10th, 2010 at 6:08 pm
My healthy indulgence is sliced cinnamon, bananas with chunky peanut butter. I like to slice a banana and sprinkle cinnamon on the slices. I microwave for 20 seconds and place dabs of peanut butter on the slices while they are still hot. I eat the PB on the side, sometimes, as well.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:15 pm
If I won a case of peanut butter I would keep a two jars for myself (eaten daily) and give the rest to the food bank of central and eastern north carolina.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
My hubby mixes either peanut butter and honey or peanut butter and molasses in a small bowl. he chills it about an hour then we eat the mixture as if it’s candy — yum!
March 10th, 2010 at 6:25 pm
I make a killer Choco-nana-butter cake for my friends’ birthdays (since a lot of them love peanut butter too). It’s a 3-layer devils food cake with layers of fluffy peanut butter buttercream frosting topped with fresh banana slices. Then the whole cake is covered in the creamy, peanutty frosting and garnshed with more slices of banana, chocolate shavings, and chopped peanuts.
I also love a fresh schmear of the grind-your-own honey roasted peanut butter on a slice of freshly toasted prairie bread.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:27 pm
We enjoy our peanut butter with chocolate, on sandwiches with banana slices and honey on toasted bread, in cookies, smoothies, and spicy thai recipes. Peanut butter is a solid staple in our house. We are fortunate to be able to buy it whenever we need it. However, if we were chosen to receive the case of peanut butter, I would share it with our local Women’s shelter so that the women and children could enjoy it too.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
“First you take the peanuts
And you crunch ‘em,
You crunch ‘em
First you take the peanuts
And you crunch ‘em,
You crunch ‘em
For your peanut, peanut butter
And jelly
Peanut, peanut butter
And jelly”
March 10th, 2010 at 6:28 pm
I love peanut butter anyway it comes! In a smoothie, on ww bread, mixed with sugar free chocolate pudding, in my oatmeal!
March 10th, 2010 at 6:33 pm
We’re a family that loves peanut butter and always have it on hand. But we have never seen anyone who loves it more than our new French son-in-law. He and our daughter live in France and on their first visit home after the wedding he discovered peanut butter. He had never had it before since it’s not a common food in France, but he fell in love with it and ate it for breakfast every single day on his toast and I would see him carrying a spoon of it around at various times during the day. Now, on his birthday or gift-giving holidays the only thing he wants us to send him is peanut butter. I would love to be able to tell him that I have a case of it for him! I’m sure that would warrant a visit from them very soon.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:37 pm
I Love Peanut Butter! I crave it almost daily! I put it on toasted english muffins, a piece of chocolate, apple slices, celery & heated then put on top on chocolate ice cream!! I had some today for lunch on my PB & J sandwich. I would love a case of Peanut Butter although a case would not last too long in our house. My husband and kids love it too!
March 10th, 2010 at 6:42 pm
We love peanut butter at our house and usually have it as a part of one of our meals. A scoop of peanut butter and a drizzle of pure maple syrup added to oatmeal in the morning perks up our hot breakfast. Peanut butter and banana or fruit spread sandwiches are always a favorite quick lunch for the three of us. For snack we love peanut butter, cocoa and banana smoothies made with frozen bananas, cocoa powder, rice milk, and peanut butter. Or, we enjoy “ants on a log” or apple slices with dollops of peanut butter on them. I’m also anxious to try my friend’s thai peanut sauce over noodles.
March 10th, 2010 at 6:46 pm
How do I enjoy peanut butter … since I was a little girl, it has always been the one thing that threads my mom and I together. I can remember being four years old, and we would sit on the infamous ‘pink blanket’ and look up at the stars while we ate peanut butter toast. She would fix it for me after a good (or bad!) date, fun party, lousy day … no matter what, it was always our go to. I’m now 42 and mom will be 75 this year. Whenever they come to visit, it’s out favorite thing to do before we go to bed at night. If we’re apart and the perils of adulthood cloud my day; a phone call to mom, while we each enjoy peanut butter toast, always makes everything a little easier to deal with.
If I won the case that’s easy, six for me and six for mom.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:03 pm
When I came to the states 15 years ago I tried peanut butter and really didn’t like it. But now I am a true Peanut Butter addict! The only thing is, probably due to me not growing up in the states, I don’t like it with any kind of jelly or fruit. But give me a spoonful of natural creamy PB and some baby carrots, celery, or steamed broccoli and I am in heaven. Yummy! If i had a case of peanut butter I would definitely bring some to my family in Israel and try to “convert” them into PB lovers like me!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I have always loved peanut butter. I have at least 1 pb and J every week on whole wheat bread. I am in my forties and have never outgrown the taste. I used to eat it on bread with pickles. Yummmmy! My kids love it as well. I could do alot with a case of peanut butter. Would probably share it with the whole family.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I LOVE anything with peanut butter. I prefer organic, plain old peanut butter. Crunchy isn’t bad but smooth is my favorite. Newman’s Own Dark peanut Butter Cups, PB + J, peanut butter on apples. Oh and Hagen Daaz chocolate peanut butter ice cream…to name a few ways I enjoy it. My dog, Edamame loves it too. Whole Foods brand peanut butter is yummy! I want a case of peanut butter!! =)
March 10th, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Peanut butter is a favorite in my house. I am a runner and Peanut Butter fuels a lot of my runs. Living in Memphis, of course I have the Elvis PB and banana sandwich a lot or mix it with honey and spread over a graham cracker for dessert. Peanut Butter ends up in my oatmeal, Protein shakes, muffin recipes, stir fry sauces or on a bagel before a workout. Yeah Peanut Butter!!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:22 pm
My whole family loves peanut butter, but we all eat it differently. My favorite breakfast is simply peanut butter on whole wheat toast. My oldest daughter prefers her peanut butter on celery sticks or on cut up apples. My middle daughter loves hers on a hot-dog roll with a banana on top. My youngest son loves it with cream cheese on a rice cake. My husband- (who we think is crazy won’t touch it) But the four of us can agree that we can’t live without our peanut butter- and it has got to be smooth!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
i’d have 365 days of peanut butter and banana sandwiches elvis style!!! that’s a hunka-hunka-burnin’ peanut love!!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I would make old-fashion peanut butter cookies, have a peanut butter and jelly party and serve tea size peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
My favorite infrequent way to enjoy peanut butter is in a frozen terrine of peanut butter and dark chocolate mousse.My most frequent use of peanut butter during the winter is to cover a pine cone with it and then roll the pine cone in songbird mix bird feed, mostly thistle seed and red millet and sunflower chips. Hang it in a close tree and enjoy the birds for hours, calorie free.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
I enjoy, actually I LOVE Peanut Butter Smoothies! I put into my blender, ice, banana, chocolate cocopowder, homemade Almond Milk(which I learned how to make at Whole Foods)and peanut butter. It’s DELICIOUS! If I have raw spinach I’ll add a handful of that too. It’s a wonderful smoothie:-)
My teenage son Loves Peanut Butter sandwiches. Just Peanut Butter on toasted bread.
This is how my family enjoys peanut butter.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
I would slather peanut butter on ice cream, pancakes, pasta, bananas (my version on the ELVIS) and of course on my finger!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
I eat peanut butter (or almond butter, sunflower seed butter, etc.) EVERY DAY! Breakfast these days for me consists of brown rice cakes slathered with peanut butter or a nice spoonful atop a warm bowl of oat bran. I make peanut sauce for noodles. I put it in smoothies. Peanut butter is a perfect food and fits into my diet PERFECTLY!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
peanut butter has become a recent obsession of mine, up until about a year ago I thought I hated peanut butter, and would only eat it if there was a small amount of it on pb & j sandwich. BUT let me tell you now I go through almost 2 jars a week, and am completely addicted. I can’t believe I have gone 18 years of my life not eating this. Peanut butter is my go- to food, it always sounds good and never get sick of it. I don’t know what I would do without it now!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I love peanut butter so much that I used it to cover up the taste of foods I didn’t like as a kid. My most infamous one was peanut butter on hot dogs. Hated hotdogs, loved peanut butter. And I still like that salty-sweet combo today…
One of my favorites, though, potato chips dipped in peanut butter. I also like melted peanut butter over ice cream with some rice krispies and chocolate sauce. Peanut butter in rice krispie treats are good too. I could put it on anything.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
My people. I’ve found you. I go through a good pound of 365 crunchy a week–on carrots straight from the jar, on toasted doughnuts (don’t knock it), thinned with soy sauce and rice vinegar on pasta with peas and tofu. As long as it tastes like peanuts and I can spread it, it’s at least three kinds of nirvana.
I promise I wouldn’t eat it all in one sitting. I might even share with my hard-working interns, who need protein and calorie dense foods this time of year.
March 10th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
I love peanut butter! I would look up different recipes to make with the peanut butter. I recipe for everyday!
March 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
My absolute favorite way to enjoy peanut butter is to make grilled peanut butter sandwiches. My sister preferred cheese but I loved grilling peanut butter because it becomes hot, gooey, and oh so tasty. Of course you can add bananas, chocolate chips or jelly to the mix but any meal of the day can become a grilled peanut butter delight.

we have always liked peanut butter since we took it to school over 60 years ago as lunch .I use it in cooking,sandwiches and just eatting a spoonful straight out of the jar .If I win a case of peanut butter,I would give some to my 2 older children who live nearby,stock my shelves and give half to the foodbank to help others who are out of work at this time .

I LOVE peanut butter. My 3 year old nephew just taught me about the best way to eat peanut butter. PB & nutella on whole wheat bread is just about the best thing ever. A close second is PB and a few chocolate chips on a banana. And of course, cookies.

Whatever the bulk of my peanut butter is used for is inconsequential; I’m all for the bottom of the jar. Scraping every corner with whatever knife I used last, then a spoon, then a skinny spatula to get it all. I’m always surprised how audacious the task is. What seemed like just a few scrapings ends up supplying at least 300% of my daily value of fat. Then the jars go in my meek college dorm room to hold other goods: raisins, dates, rolled oats, etc.
Do you know how much relief a college student would find in a case of peanut butter?

1/2c. oatmeal
1/4 raisins
as much PB as I want
cinnamon
+/- mashed banana
cook, mix, enjoy

Peanut butter is the absolute essential college student food. It’s not too expensive, it’s packed full of protein, and you can eat it on just about anything! I personally enjoy sitting down with a nice, juicy apple and a jar of peanut butter–spooning it right out of the jar and onto my apple. I also make oatmeal frequently for breakfast: a spoonful of peanut butter adds the extra protein I need to keep myself from getting hungry before it’s time to eat again. Add to that a handful of raisins, and you have a real treat. I could go on… peanut butter on toast, bananas, celery, in cookies, or just by the spoonful. I think I’ll go have myself some right now.

I would do a lot of the traditional foods with peanut butter but ….. I still love the peanut butter and sweet pickle sandwiches that my Nana made us and my Aunt Lucille’s peanut butter, raisin and carrot salad makes my guitar gently weep.

Peanut butter is good with anything! My grandma taught me just a spoonful of just PB w/ a cup of coffee…YUM….
my family loves it on apples, bananas, toast, and the best is on pancakes w/ maple syrup!

A case of healthy safe peanut butter would just be so comforting to have in the pantry. My husband and I are big PB fans but after the peanut butter safety issues last year, we are very careful about which PBs we eat.
I love reading about the story behind your good food products.
thanks for the great contest

Absolutely love peanut butter! Eat it in some form almost every day. Prefer smooth, no salt–just the real thing. Eat it with apple wedges, rice cakes,& of course peanut butter sandwiches. Also use in cooking & baking. I would have no problem using a case–some for me & the rest to local food shelf &/or friends.

I love peanut butter! My absolute fav is creamy pb and all fruit jelly or homemade jam on fresh wheat bread with a glass of milk. Also love on bananas and apples for a quick snack, sometimes add a little honey and cinnamon to it. I would donate the rest, my church supports a local food pantry.

I have a three year old, a two year old and one year old twins…all boys…the only time we have quiet in our house is when the boys are eating their peanut butter sandwiches! It’s as close to a spa day as i can get

I have always loved any kind of peanut butter- – creamy, chunky, no salt, salted- – but as an adult I prefer 365 Everyday Value for it’s true peanutty flavor and high quality.
I like it on my whole grain english muffin, on bagels, in oatmeal, on quinoa, in cookies, in chicken sate, in cold sesame noodles, in peanutty sweet potato soup, by the spoonful for a quick burst of energy, in celery with raisins on top (ants on a log), spread on graham crackers, in sandwiches with jelly or bananas, in ice cream, spread on apple slices…..to name a few. A case should keep me well stocked – - I’d be glad to share it with my college aged kids, my elderly parents, and will happily share some with the local food collection for the food bank. And, yes, I’d even use it to give the dog her meds, and to lure a mouse….as we had to do recently. Who doesn’t like peanut butter? Even the mouse has good taste. I was the one who wasn’t eager to share my pb with him.

I like peanut butter breakfast sandwiches on multigrain bread. Spread one slice with crunchy peanut butter, spread a second slice with honey (I like lavender) Use about a tablespoon of organic raisins and scatter over the peanut butter. Dust with a little cinnamon.Slap the slices together and munch. MMMM. Peanut butter is also yummy on whole grain toast – it gets interestingly gooey. Then there’s PB on ginger snaps, PB and bacon sandwiches, PB on potato chips, and on and on. And if I won a case, I’d share with my local food pantry.

I LOVE peanut butter. I have been a semi-vegetarian since birth, and about a year ago went completely vegetarian. So peanuts, nuts, but most importantly peanut butter are a huge source of my protein. I love it on homemade bread, in homemade granola, on apples, celery, and I even make homemade dog treats with it! I even make my own. We Always have a jar or two in our house, its a must have!!

My favorite way to eat crunchy peanut butter is on my homemade whole wheat bread. It is the best ever! Second best is with a banana. yum!
March 10th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Whole Foods peanut butter is a daily indulgence in our home. We love it plain, in any recipe and my husband swears that it has even lowered his cholesterol!! A case of peanut butter…..wouldn’t last long in our home!

I eat PB in some way, every morning for breakfast. I eat it on toast, in oatmeal, and /or mixed with yogurt and cereal. PB is a healthy addition to any breakast and will keep you fueled until lunch. PB and banana is also a stellar combo! I would use the PB for these yummy eats, and also to make treats to pass around the office!

I work evenings and am often quite hungry when I arrive home. Peanut Butter has always been my comfort food. After a tough evening at work, a nice PB and something sandwich really hits the spot. I change what I put on the PB very often, but my favorite is lettuce.
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
pb on a warm bagel – yum; pb and fluff, pb on crackers, pb cookies, pb sandwiches, pb in thai food, I could use it every day!!
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
I think peanut butter is best: crunchy, on a spoon, directly out of the jar. Seriously. On a daily basis. YUM!
March 10th, 2010 at 8:05 pm
We LOVE PB in our house! My four year old makes a snack out of it nearly every day – with apple slices, on toast with honey, or on a good old pb&j. My husband starts nearly every day with pb toast, and when I was pregnant recently I ate lot of high protein peanut butter for snacks. One of my favorite new uses for pb is making yummy snack bars with pb, coconut oil and nuts. We love whole foods natural pb – just peanuts and salt- simple and perfect.

I love peanut butter and bananas!
