We had a discussion on here back along about how I've never tried peanut butter and didn't want to buy a jar in case I didn't like it (I hated the smell of it in people's sandwiches growing up). I bought some reduced Reeces Peanut Butter mini eggs the other day thinking it's a good opportunity. I can't bring myself to try them
When I do eventually get brave enough to try them, are they representative of what 'proper' peanut butter tastes like or are they just a sugar filled imposter?

Hi @jwil just caught up! Well done on your walking and I’m in awe of all of your decorating! We need to do the whole house and the only room we’ve almost finished is the bedroom! Sounds like you deserve a rest, I hope you have a lovely weekend.2

Definitely an imposter. I love peanut butter and I’m a sugar junkie but while enjoying reese’s, even I can appreciate it’s more confectionery than peanut. Maybe you could try a peanut butter satay sauce rather than full on peanut butter?are they representative of what 'proper' peanut butter tastes like or are they just a sugar filled imposter?Mortgage at 01.01.14 £119,481.83:eek: today £0 Emergency fund £5.5/5.5k & £200/200 cash.:jWeight 24/02/19 14st 7lb now 11st 12lb determined to stop defining myself by my mistakes.
