Peanut Butter LOVER
November 7, 2009
I have a passion for Peanut butter and believe it or not, November is Peanut Butter Lovers Month. I have no pretense about my love of peanut butter. As any true PB lover will tell you, the purest way to eat it is always directly out of the jar. I have become an advocate for Adam’s PB because it’s only ingredient is peanuts and besides that I can buy it extra large at Costco. When I travel, I carry a Tupperware container filled with it and two plastic spoons (in case one breaks). I had it confiscated at airport security one time for having too large of a container in my carry-on. It was heart breaking. Come on! Peanut butter’s not a liquid. :( Besides on my spoon, I love it with a cup of coffee, on apples and bananas, a dob on my chocolate ice cream or chocolate pudding – well, with anything chocolate of course. I keep an emergency jar at the office just in case I need an afternoon fix. One of my favorite cookie recipes of all time is Chocolate No-Bake Cookies because of the classic pairing of chocolate and peanut butter. Whip up a batch this month!

You forgot the oatmeal on the ingredients list.

I love this recipe too! I checked my recipe...everything is same except it has 3 1/2 cups of Oatmeal!
The first time I learned about this recipe was many years ago when my husband and I were volunteering to watch 3 year olds during the worship service at our church. Our assignment was to make these cookies (with the help of the 3 year olds) in an electric skillet during the hour or so we were there. The kids loved to help and we ALL loved eating the wonderful cookies!!! (They are kind of a mixture between cookiee/candy.
It is a great and easy recipe!

For those who are not chocolate lovers, this recipe from the 1990 Maryland State Fair is good:
1 c peanut butter
1 c honey
2 c dry milk
2 c oatmeal
Combine peanut butter and honey and warm slightly in a microwave. Then mix in the milk and gradually stir in the oatmeal. Shape into walnut sized balls. Enjoy!

Can't believe I forgot the oatmeal!!! Especially since you can totally justify this as breakfast because of the oatmeal and PB. In fact I brought these to the office last week for breakfast. We'll update the recipe to be correct. Thanks for the alert!
