PB Popcorn

Posted on by

If you haven’t tried our Heavenly Crunch (or Buckeye Crunch as we Ohioans refer to it as) – then you are totally missing out!!  It’s PB, Chocolate, Popcorn and Carmel!  HELLO!!  Is there anything better in the world??  Get yourself a case of it HERE.  Don’t worry, the entire case can easily be consumed in a very short amount of time. If you’re in Ohio, stop by my moms candy store (The Sister’s Sweet Shoppe) and try some free samples!  I am confident you will leave with your arms full of Heavenly Crunch.

But if that still doesn’t work for you – try this recipe Christy posted over at The Girl Who Ate Everything.  This is the perfect Christmas treat for those cold winter nights by the fire.  MMMM…. PB goes with EVERYTHING!!!!

PB Popcorn

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn or 16 cups popped popcorn
1 1/2 cups dry-roasted peanuts
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup all-natural Krema PB
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pop corn and remove any unpopped kernels. Place in a large bowl and stir in peanuts. (Jennifer pops hers in a 9X13 pan and keeps it warm in a 250 degree oven)
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, honey and corn syrup.  Bring mixture to boiling, continue boiling for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.  Do not boil too long or your popcorn will be rock hard. Remove from heat.
Stir in peanut butter and vanilla.
Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
Serve warm or a room temperature.

Another Review & a PB Banana Pudding Recipe

Posted on by

We received another rave PB review from the Peanut Butter Boy himself!  haha!  Check it out here.

(he likes to add kosher salt to our PB!  silly boy ;-) )

AND the PB Boy recommends using our all-natural Krema PB in such scrumptious recipes as this PB Banana Pudding…

PB Banana Pudding

Ingredients:

1 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt, regular yogurt or sour cream
8 oz (~3 cups) nonfat frozen whipped topping, thawed for 30 minutes
2 cups skim milk
1/3 cup creamy unsalted peanut butter
2 small packages nonfat (sugar-free) instant vanilla pudding
30 vanilla wafers or ginger snaps
2 bananas, in 1/4″ slices
shaved dark chocolate, to garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl whisk together the greek yogurt, peanut butter, whipped topping and milk until no clumps remain. Stir in the instant pudding until well incorporated and mixture begins to thicken.

2. In a large glass serving dish or trifle bowl, form a layer of vanilla wafers, flat side facing up. Cover with a thin layer of pudding, followed by a layer of banana slices. Add another thin layer of pudding and repeat. Or get creative by pudding (hah!) some wafers against the wall before adding the next layer of pudding for a nice presentation. Top with a few vanilla wafers and garnish with shaved chocolate and/or fresh berries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

(Check out this recipe on the PB Boy’s website here.)

SCOTCHAROO’S

Posted on by

I love these things.  I just made them this weekend and I literally used an ENTIRE jar of creamy PB!  Ha!  I just can’t get enough Krema PB!  I acutally added a layer of plain PB on the top of the cereal before I put the melted chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.

The only problem was that my scotcaroo’s were eaten so fast that I forgot to take a photo.  So I’m borrowing this one from this adorable website called Get Off Your Butt and BAKE! How cute is that?  Check it out.  Oh yeah, and eat some of these tonight.  You won’t be sorry ;-)

Monkey Sundaes

Posted on by

My Aunt Nanette loved this dessert idea from the Peanut Butter Boy blog, so of course she tried it out when her grand-kids were visiting her this summer.  Check out these photos…IMG_7497IMG_7504

To make Monkey Sundaes at home; put a scoop of vanilla ice cream in your bowl, drizzle warmed-up, all-natural Krema creamy PB over the top, then add any fun toppings you like!  These kids used honey-roasted peanuts, broken pretzel pieces, bananas, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate syrup, candies and whipped cream!  Look at these silly “monkeys” !!!  I told you my family was full of nuts!IMG_7503
