This crunchy peanut butter can be spread directly onto bread, crackers, or rice cakes. It is also excellent for dipping apple slices, celery sticks, or pretzels.

It melts well when heated, making it suitable for incorporating into baked goods like cookies and brownies, or for creating smooth, creamy sauces for noodles or desserts.
How it differs from similar foods

This contrasts with smooth varieties, which are processed to a uniform, creamy consistency. The roasting level also influences flavor, with some peanut butters having a darker, more intense taste.

How to keep the rest
