Open the jar and stir the peanut butter if oil separation has occurred. Spread it on bread, toast, or crackers for a simple snack or meal. It can also be blended into smoothies for added richness and flavor. In baking, it's a key ingredient in cookies, brownies, and pies, contributing a nutty taste and binding properties.

The presence of these peanut fragments provides a more substantial mouthfeel and an added textural dimension to dishes.
