Top peanut butter recipes

I once read a book called ‘Constant Craving’ that delves into the meanings of food cravings and why one has them. A truly facinating read! The author (a doctor of psychology), explains that each food craving corresponds to an underlying emotion or desire. One of the common cravings that came up was peanut butter – which isn’t an unusual one.

According to the book, a craving for peanut butter usually corresponds to our need or desire for fun – and brings back happy memories of childhood; of being carefree and happy.

There’s much to be said about eating peanut butter straight from the jar (if you’ve never done that, you’re not normal!), however there are times when you might feel the need to share your peanut butter bliss with others and create something a little more special. These recipes will keep any craving at bay and ensure you’re always a hit with your friends.
