Peanut Butter: Creamy or Chunky?

[Gunther]

No, we eat peanut products, but we've always been very careful about any chance of cross contamination. She's also very aware of her surroundings and takes responsibility for her own welfare too. We can't take her to some place like Five Guys though, where they toss peanut shells on the floor. She'd blow up like a balloon just walking through the door! It really bothers me when schools or other organizations go to such an extreme, as in @Golfingdad 's case, and effectively punish an entire student body, when much more reasonable accommodations could easily be made. A perfect example of knee-jerk over-reaction. And yeah, this from a guy whose daughter's allergy is so severe that she has to carry an epipen with her.

Wow, that's gotta be tough. I admire your perspective, wouldn't have expected anything different. ;) And, for the record @golfingdad 's response was similarly predictable. ;)

I don't mind chunky… except that it often tears the bread up a bit, and if you're eating a jelly or jam with seeds, you often get a bit of "crunch" anyway. Plus I like a lot of peanut butter, and it seals better if it's creamy. :)

Why is chunky peanut butter so dry that it tears the bread?! I hate that. Why can't they just slide some chunks into the creamy peanut butter?! Best of both worlds. Creamy wins right now until they figure out how to just add the chunks to it.

If you use whole wheat bread, which is tougher, doesn't happen. To me, what makes the PB&J; is the J. A better jam makes all the difference.

There was a bread called "Wonder Bread", it was really tough.

Even Wonder Bread could not stand up to chunky PB.

That's too bad.  Our kids school is nut free due to some kids with alergies so occasionally in lieu of peanut butter and jelly, we'll give them sunflower butter and jelly.  It's certainly not the same ... but it's not totally different.  Maybe try that??

Try "Wow Butter". It's made with soy and is indistinguishable from peanut butter. I couldn't believe it but it's true and I hate bullshit soy products.

This stuff only and for ever! Made here in New Zealand. The seller has told me that our family owns the record for the amount consumed in a month. And, yes, it's crunchy

Lol, quite a feat although I can think of a few other records I'd like to hold.

Yeah, wasn't like we were even trying. Other families in our area need to "man up" more............................

I am a bona fide PB junkie. This thread is not helping my addiction.

Creamy. Chunky is for chicks. I like Shaw's brand organic myself.

Ditto, and I'm kinda doin a thing with my diet lately so haven't had any in 2 weeks...struggling. Anyone do pb and cheese sandwiches? My family thinks it's gross and I have no idea where I picked it up but been eating them for many years. Just awesome, esp on toast. Weird?
