A couple weeks ago I received another delicious shipment of peanut butter from my friends at Peanut Butter & Co. They sent me 2 jars of The Bees Knees, their all-natural peanut butter blended with honey, along with a cute tote bag, and a PB&Co. peanut butter knife. Yes, it’s a peanut butter knife, not a butter knife 😉 Obviously I dug in immediately!
The best part is that Peanut Butter & Co. is offering one of you a chance to win 2 of your own jars of The Bees Knees! They’re the best, aren’t they?
You know as always, I ran to Pinterest and found the perfect recipes. First up, some healthy bites!
I’ve ordered bites directly from the source before and they were delicious! I don’t know what took me so long to make my own, but man, I’m glad I did. The Peanut Butter Coconut Trail Mix bites are the perfect little snack when I want a little something sweet. For my trail mix, I used a mixture of goji berries, dried blueberries, peanuts, and crushed graham cracker. I will definitely be making these again!
Next, peanut butter cookies! Considering what I had on hand [because obviously I wasn’t waiting until I could go to the store], I chose the Flourless Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies recipe from Edible Perspective.
I decided to leave out the maple syrup since the peanut butter is already sweetened with honey. I also didn’t have any fancy flaked sea salt so they ended up naked but still delicious! Loved the crackly look on top. I’d admit, they were pretty crumbly, though I’m wondering if that has to do with my choice to skip the maple syrup. The flavor, however, was spot on.

Food for Thought
What would you make with the peanut butter?
As a member of Peanut Butter & Co.’s Yum Squad food blogger club, I received product in exchange for this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
I love making homemade granola bars and the Bees Knees would be perfect in the recipe!
Homemade granola bars are the best!
Uuuhhhh yummm! Yes please! I LOVE peanut butter and Co, especially their white chocolate wonderful! The Bees knees is good too! Do I have to make something? Can I just eat it out the jar with a spoon? :p That is what I often do when I get back from my runs hahah
It’s all so good! I knew I could count on a bunch of “straight from the jar” comments 😉
um yum, now i totally need that jar!!
Or 2? 😉
Those healthy bites look amazing! If I won I’d probably make some of those or peanut butter granola!
The healthy bites are SO good!
I will make PB with banana. I keep it simple.
I knew you would!
I definitely want to try making those flour-less PB maple cookies! Yum
Yum is right.
I eat it straight out of the jar or on bananas, but I’d love to make some pb granola with it!
Mmm PB granola 🙂
love love love PB and co! I buy the chunky version online in bulk 🙂 would love to try this one!
Love the chunky PB!
I would make banana chocolate chip cake with peanut butter frosting for my mom’s birthday that’s coming up!
OH that sounds amazing!
I like brownies with an eggless peanut butter cookie dough layer.
I’ll take a batch too, please 🙂
on bananas or in granola bars!
Yum!
I would make granola bars! I LOVE PB&Co.’s peanut butter!
Love homemade granola bars!
I would probably use the peanut butter for some homemade protein bars or healthy muffins! Or just slathered on some frozen bananas (my favorite!!)
That all sounds good!
I would make peanut butter oatmeal cookies!
Yum!
I’d make a peanut butter, banana, and honey sandwich
Simple and delicious.
I’d make a pb smoothie with banana and spinach (my new go to dinner when I get home late from work!)
Mmm it’s like dessert 🙂
I would totally make peanut butter cookies-so good!
Yes!
i’d eat it straight from the jar!
I approve 😉
I love peanut butter & co! I eat it for breakfast on english muffins!
Yum!
I want to stir it in my oatmeal or eat it straight from the jar!
PB in oatmeal is the best!
Thanks for trying out my recipe + linking! I’m thinking they were crumbly because the almond butter I used was the natural kind with no stabilizing oils. If the PB was the stabilized kind [looks like it from the photo] that was likely the cause. The thicker texture would cause the cookies to be dryer and crumbly. Taking out the maple syrup probably affected the moisture/crumbly factor, too. Glad they were still tasty, though! 🙂
I had a feeling the difference in nut butters caused the crumbly texture. I will definitely be trying them out with a natural nut butter again though 🙂
I love this peanut butter. Straight from the jar is the only way to eat it. Although those trail mix bites look pretty tasty!
I had to make things to stop myself from eating it all out of the jar 😉
If I won, I’d make PB, chocolate and oatmeal energy bites – the PB would be fabulous in them!
Love making little bites!
Oatmeal cookies sound good!
Yes they do 🙂
I wouldn’t make anything with it. I’d just stir ingredients into the jar (shredded coconut, cocoa powder, chia seeds) and eat it with a spoon!
Ooh with the coconut sounds amazing!
I smother everything w/ the pb – yogurt, toast, fruit, oatmeal… or just by the spoonful 🙂
Yes, yes, yes!
Granola bars or peanut butter balls. Or of course in my oatmeal!
Always in the oats!
It will first go in my oatmeal but then some energy bites, yum.
Delicious!
