pb and jelly sandwiches, pb and banana sandwiches, put it on waffles or pancakes with syrup, mix it with syrup and eat it on crackers, heated up and served with ice cream, pb and graham crackers are wonderful. make a cake and make pb icing. pb pie, pb rice crispy squares you just add about 1 and a half cup of pb to your heated up marshmallows and rice krispies to do this. and like they said above just eat it by its self.

Peanut butter balls/buckeyes. 2 cups of peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of butter heated together in the pan. Add 1 cup of powered sugar to make a "dough". Roll into small balls and chill for 2 hours. Then melt chocolate either in the microwave or on the stove. Dip the chilled peanut butter balls in the chocolate so that only half is covered. Yummy
