Trader Joe’s Rants & Raves (mostly raves, a few rants)

Trader Joe’s NEW ITEM

They have a new “peanut butter with honey”. Only 3 ingredients listed. Dry roasted peanuts, honey and sea salt. Looked interesting. It doesn’t say smooth but I’m sure it is – i always get crunchy PB myself. I am guessing especially if you have kids, this may be worth a try. Way better for them than say JIF. Pretty good price $3 (1 lb) jar

I went back and got one to taste. My review is : GOOD! This is better than expected as its not at all “sweet” tasting. To me, there is just the barest hint of sweetness. So not much honey added, just a little bit. I actually liked it much more than I was expecting too. It is smooth but not super smooth like a commercial big brand, it has a little texture not overly ground. The oil on top, off which there is not a lot, mixed in quite easily when I stirred it in, and it stays mixed especially cold of course.

So I think this new peanut butter with honey is actually good worth trying.

Maybe they will come out with a crunchy version too someday.

I can certainly see using this one for making Asian dishes.

A peanut butter and banana sandwich on their good Organic Seeded Bread?

I generally don’t buy sweetened peanut butter. My go to choice at Trader Joe’s their blue jar pb which i prefer salted/crunchy. That only has peanuts and sea salt.

PB is kind of my weakness. I go through about a jar every other week
