30 Recipes to Make Every Day of National Peanut Butter Lovers Month
Peanut butter is definitely one of the top five best processed spreads ever. I can scoop it out of a jar with an Oreo if I'm feeling chocolatey, celery if I'm feeling healthy, and just a spoon literally any time. When it comes to spreads, I even think it beats Nutella (cue the hate mail). November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month, and it's easy to celebrate with these peanut butter recipes.
