Peanut Butter and Co.'s White Chocolate Wonderful Taste Testing

     At the recommendation of my buddy Dan I tried out this peanut butter.  He likes to try it on Rice Krispy Treats.  "Why stop there?" I asked myself.  I went the extra mile.  I did 6 different samples.  No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job ma'am.



Who likes their own Facebook post?

I folded the bread sideways.  I was taste testing, not making lunch.

     Regular peanut butter sandwich:  Way better than regular peanut butter.  The white chocolate flavor wasn't the main focus of the sandwich, but it was a nice supplement to the taste.  It was much creamier than the normal Jif I use.  I find that even though Jif is creamy, if I accidentally put too much on my tongue gets stuck to the roof of my mouth like I'm a dog.  The PB&Co seems to address that issue.
     PB and Nutella sandwich: Even better than a regular sandwich.  The white chocolate peanut butter- dark chocolate hazelnut flavor might be my new go-to.  And if any of you go shopping this flavor around to your friends, you better credit me.  I call it the Hebrew Hammer Sandwich.

     Oreo: Alright this one wasn't as good.  The flavors didn't really blend together, they were just both in my mouth at the same time.

     Reese's Cups: There was a lot of peanut butter flavor in this one.  The PB&Co kind of overpowered the Reese's peanut butter, which was surprisingly pleasant.  The majority of the tastes were the Reese's chocolate and PB&Co peanut butter, which had hints of the Reese's peanut butter and PB&Co chocolate.  It had kind of yin and yang thing going on. (That was supposed to be a Michael Scott quote but I can't find a video of it online.)
     (This was about the point when I started having chest contractions but I powered through it because I'm a badass)

     Brownie bits: It was pretty good, but I bought a mediocre brand for the brownie bits.  That's on me, I take full responsibility.  The peanut butter didn't do enough to alleviate some of the dryness of the brownies.  It made it creamier and added some zing to the brownies, but not enough to try it again.

     Rice Krispies: Alright this one was at Dan's suggestion.  I'm starting to get light-headed so bear with me.  The Krispies and peanut butter mix was good.  The stickiness of the Krispies and the creaminess of the peanut butter made for a good balance.  Marshmallow and peanut butter are actually a pretty good combination, good job Dan on that one.
     The peanut butter itself: The white chocolate is pretty transparent but is still a good add-on without taking away from the peanut butter-ness of the peanut butter.  The label says you can put it on berries, on a muffin, and that you can bake with it.  Maybe I'll try baking with it, maybe I won't, you're not the boss of me.  The ingredients do have cocoa and vanilla on there so it's not artificially flavored like a lot of snacks I review.  The only downside is that it's a little expensive.  I give it a 8/10.  Buy it from Amazon here, support your local blogger.

PS- I have blogs for the Rice Krispies and the brownies that I was going to post before this one, but Dan said he wouldn't be friends with me anymore if I didn't post this soon and that's not a threat I take lightly.
