What to Make With That Jar of Peanut Butter

Picked up a jar of peanut butter on your most recent shopping trip, unload the groceries only to find out you already had two in the pantry? Since organizing the pantry isn’t always on the top of the to-do list, this happens more often than not. Put that peanut butter to good use! We know PB&J sandwiches are fantastic, but here are 17 other ways to use that extra jar.

Chinese Braised Pork (Crock Pot)

Drumstick (Nutty Buddy) Dessert

"Nutty Buddy bars are a classic childhood dessert and this recipe really does bring the essence of that flavor to life. This has so many wonderful layers. We love the peanut and waffle cone crust. The hint of peanut butter from the second layer and the richness from the chocolate pudding layer is amazing." - The Kitchen Crew

Peanut Butter Fudge Shake

"If you have never had a peanut butter shake you don’t know what you are missing, they are heavenly. We usually get this shake at a local drive-in but I started making them at home and the results are delicious. This thick and creamy shake has the base of vanilla ice cream so this makes it rich. The peanut butter fudge mixture is decadent and makes this shake taste like a peanut butter cup. I drizzled extra chocolate and stuck mini peanut butter cups on the outside just to make it special." - Debbie

Sesame Green Beans

"This is a combination of 2 recipes or rather taking the best part of a recipe and putting it to better use. The sesame sauce adds a pop of flavor to the green beans, making them less an everyday dish and more like a holiday dish, but easy enough to make any ole day you want." - Joeyjoan
