The creamy, nutty goodness that is peanut butter is so amazingly delicious that when we pair it with creamy and dreamy chocolate we almost have bacon. Well, at least we would think perfect and perfect would equal bacon.
We digress. Besides the Peanut Buttter Log donut another great love is peanut butter ice cream. Blended smooth with a few chopped nuts and a drizzle of peanut butter syrup is a peanut butter lover’s dream come true.
The slang term for peanut butter in World War II was “monkey butter”.
A monkey visited the lab at Kellogg’s one day and dipped his banana in a jar of peanut butter and he’s been ape over the combination ever since. Actually, banana slices with peanut butter sandwiched between them and dipped in chocolate make a terrific snack.
Peanut butter and bananas was a combination even fit for a king. Elvis Presley was a peanut butter and banana sandwich lover.
Then peanut butter got it’s passport and traveled the world. It paired up with some shrimp and got a little saucy. The result is a Thai peanut butter shrimp that is so yummy it had to be true love.
Things heated up a little when peanut butter jumped into the stew pot to sweat it out with a spring chick seasoned with some cayenne. African Chicken Peanut Stew has never been the same.
Some of the best times peanut butter has ever had is with marshmallows. The result is the best tasting fudge around.
