Today I wanted to talk about a favorite snack: peanut butter. Many of us love peanut butter (it’s a very nostalgic food) and it can be a great staple snack.
When looking for peanut butter, I check a couple of things:
- It must be certified organic, since peanuts are a highly sprayed crop.
- It should have simple ingredients, like peanuts and salt only. No additional oils.
Today I wanted to share 10 delicious peanut butter snacks that will satisfy your cravings with simple, whole ingredients.

From sweet to savory, peanut butter pairs well with a variety of flavors and textures, making it a perfect ingredient for creating delicious snacks any time of day.

Absolutely! Peanut butter is packed with essential nutrients that can benefit your health. A serving of peanut butter provides some protein, along with essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin E, magnesium, and potassium. Plus, peanut butter contains healthy fats that can help maintain normal blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, which supports overall heart health.
