Peanut Butter & Co. Review & Giveaway Ends 8/10/11 at 7PM EST

Peanut Butter & Co sent me two varieties to sample and review.  I received the Crunch Time and the Dark Chocolate Dreams.  I love peanut butter but other than creamy and crunchy I haven't ever really had any different kinds.  I was excited to try these two and see if I liked them.  I tried the Crunch Time first.

Crunch Time

Our great-tasting all-natural peanut butter just got even better! We've reformulated Crunch Time so that it is now in the No-Stir Natural style. We've added a little bit of palm fruit oil (containing zero cholesterol and zero trans fats) to keep the peanut oil from separating. This means no more stirring the oil back in! Made of peanuts blended with great big pieces of chopped peanuts, a little bit of salt, and a little bit of cane juice for sweetness, this delicious no-stir version brings you closer to the peanut butter of your childhood without the high fructose corn syrup and the hydrogenated oil!

It sells for $5 on their website.  I really enjoyed this.  I normally like creamy peanut butter but on occasions I prefer the crunchy.  I had this on toast first.  It's so good.  My family and I really enjoyed this peanut butter.

Next I tried the Dark Chocolate Dreams.

Dark Chocolate Dreams

Our all natural peanut butter blended with rich dark chocolate. It's like a peanut butter cup in a jar! Great on a sandwich, but just as wonderful spooned over ice cream, spread on fruits, or simply eaten out of the jar. It's equally delicious as an ingredient in your all-time favorite baked goodies like chocolate cake and bread pudding. It contains no cholesterol, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, and no high-fructose corn syrup. It is also gluten-free, certified vegan, and certified kosher pareve by the Orthodox Union. The shelf life is 6 months after opening, if stored in a cool, dry place.
I love peanut butter and I love chocolate so I knew I was going to love this kind.  It's amazing.  It really is like a peanut butter cup in a jar.  I had this on toast, it was good.  I had this on ice cream, it was amazing.  I had this with graham crackers, it was delicious.  I enjoyed it on everything.  We are in love with Dark Chocolate Dreams from Peanut Butter & Co.

I am so excited to have found new peanut butters that I love.  If you would like to enter to win 2 jars of peanut butter see the Giveaway below.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter Review & Giveaway Ends 7/31/11 EST 7 PM

Review

Organic Coconut Peanut Butter Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter is made from organic peanuts and organic coconut. Two ingredients: nothing else! No fillers, no binders, no sweeteners, and no preservatives. The peanuts are 100% organic Valencia peanuts grown organically by family farmers in New Mexico and Texas. Grown in the dry climate of the southwestern United States, these peanuts are certified organic and free from aflatoxins. The dried coconut is certified organic coconut meat from the Philippines from coconuts that are grown with no fertilizers or pesticides. This premium dried coconut contains no additives or preservatives, and is not sweetened. Unlike most dried coconut on the market, our dried coconut products are not treated with sulfites to keep them white. Together, these premium organic roasted peanuts and the premium organic dried coconut are ground together to make a delicious and nutritious spread!

I received a jar of Organic Coconut Peanut Butter to sample and review.  This is the second time I have had the pleasure of working with Tropical Traditions.  They are an amazing company.  I used the peanut butter to make the Chewy Peanut Butter Coconut Granola Bars.

• 1 cup whole sugar, less to taste
• 2/3 cup peanut butter (or part or all coconut peanut butter)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups thick rolled oats
• 1/3 cup Tropical Traditions organic coconut flour
• 1/2 cup organic flaked or shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup organic sunflower seeds
• 1/2 cup organic raisins
• 2 teaspoons organic sesame seeds
• 1 cup chocolate chips, optional

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine sugar, peanut butter, honey, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined.

Stir in remaining ingredients until well combine. Mixture will be like very wet granola. Press into a Texas sheet pan* greased with palm shortening or coconut oil.

Bake 20 - 25 minutes or until edges are nicely browned. Run a thin butter knife along the edges and cut while still warm. Let cool in the pan before removing. Bars will be fragile while hot but will firm up as they cool. Enjoy!

This recipe is quick and easy.  We really enjoyed these granola bars.
