The best pb for your j

Besides crunchy and creamy versions, you can find peanut butters labeled “low-sugar,” “low-sodium,” “no trans fats,” even “made with Valencia peanuts.” Regardless of the touts, most are made the same way: Peanuts are roasted, ground with salt and sugar, then mixed with an added fat component to prevent separation. During testing, we found some spreads so pasty we got an upper-body workout stirring them; other “spreads” ripped bread. A few had the aroma and flavor of just-ground glory―abundantly peanutty and perfect for spooning right out of the container. In the end, several staffers decided to ditch their household brand for these winners.

BEST CRUNCHY―TIE!: Jif Extra Crunchy Price: $2.59 (18 ounces) Testers said: Raters loved this not-too-sweet, not-too-salty crunchy spread. If you like a lot of peanuts, this is the one for you. Cookies made with this butter were chewy, but crisp on bottom with good peanutty flavor. Ideal for sandwiches, on crackers, in a nutty sauce for cold soba noodles, or as a base for a curry paste.

Actaully it not even peanu butter, it is cashew butter. Far superior in flavor if you can get it mixed properly.

I agree. Jif is simply the best.

Skippy has so much sugar it’s like a yucky dessert.

Any sugar in PB is too much in my book. Adams crunchy for me please.

Is it me, or do those peanut butter spreads taste like frosting? I like peanut butter, last time I checked it’s made with peanuts....full stop. Not sweetened....that’s what the jam or jelly is for.

One of the few things even Uncle Sam couldn’t seem to mess up. Tasted pretty good when you were out in the boonies and hungry, anyway.

Is Adams a local brand? Or artisan?

I've found it everywhere I go on the West coast, so I wouldn't call it Artisan. Don't know if it's available farther East, though.
