Peanut butter is a great base to play around with in the kitchen. Spread on toast or whipped up into a frosting, peanut butter is sublime in its simplicity. Its nuttiness pairs so well with a multitude of flavours, especially in desserts (think chocolate, bananas and strawberries, to name a few). Instead of buying a jar of pb at the grocery store, grab a bag of peanuts. At home, you can tweak the recipe to your liking. It is so adaptable: smooth, salty, crunchy…
Bon appétit!
