Thank you for the recipes - I have cashew butter to use up, it is very claggy to eat neat but adds a brilliant taste to foods in the same way as the peanut butter.

I have never heard of this! I love cashews, and would love to know where you got it from CCStar?

I have to hide it in my house ....from myself mostly. A jar lasts maybe 2 days.
PB on toast for brekkie
PB Sandwhiches at lunchtime
Chicken Satay at Dinner time

soon gone but I only buy 1 jar a month - so I'm not totally bad.

This thread is brilliant! I love peanut butter (has to be crunchy though!) but there are loads of ideas on here I haven't tried yet. Snickers muffins, mm-mmm...

Here's one of my favourites, peanut butter chocolate fudge:

1 jar of peanut butter
1 tin condensed milk
350g dark chocolate

Melt the chocolate and peanut butter together in the microwave, then stir in the condensed milk. Pour into a baking tin (lined with greaseproof paper) and leave to set in the fridge. It will set really solid, you can then turn it out of the tray and cut up into squares. Yummy!

oh yum !! i made some of this today

its scrummy and i am not usually fudge fan :rotfl:

Really easy too

I used milk choc as thats what i had in and the crunchy peanut butter !

Here's another weird sounding idea for sandwiches - PB and tomato or PB and cucumber - best thiny sliced and sprinkled with salt. I've been eating these since I was a kid, and they are yummy!

Hi Churchmouse

You can get it from Goodness Direct prices vary, if you do a search you can find it from about £1.99 for a 170g jar. Some of the Holland & barret shops have it and you can occasionally find it in places like Sainsbury's but as Lynzpower said your best bet is your local health food shop.
