Sue Bee Crunchy Peanut Butter
What it is
This is a jar of peanut butter with small pieces of peanuts mixed in. It is made from roasted peanuts that have been ground to a paste. The crunchy texture comes from the added peanut fragments. It is a common pantry staple for many households.
How people cook with it

To use, simply open the jar and stir the peanut butter if oil separation has occurred. Spread it generously on bread for sandwiches, or use it as a dip for apple slices or celery sticks. It can also be incorporated into baked goods like cookies and brownies, or whisked into sauces for a creamy, nutty flavor in stir-fries or noodle dishes. The crunchy pieces add an extra textural element to any preparation.
