Is Creamy Peanut Butter Better Than Crunchy?
Ranked #3,028 in Food & Cooking, #59,021 overall | Donates to ONE Spirit
HERE'S WHAT I THINK
When grocery shoppers reach the aisle that holds the peanut butter, not many will stand before the many jars and try to decide: should I get the "creamy" variety or the "chunky" variety. Most consumers have a long-established choice of which type they will buy. I have only had the chunky type only once in my life...and despite the fact that I really like to eat whole peanuts on a regular basis...I am not at all inclined to eat my peanut butter with small chunks in it. I want my peanuts whole and my peanut butter creamy! So which is the preferred peanut butter? I say creamy. Let me hear what you say.
The average child will eat 1500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before they graduate from high school.

Absorootytootly! I did the crunchy thing for a hot minute or two but now I am committed to the creamy legume.
