Peanut Butter

I used to love extra crunchy... more recently I think I started preferring creamy because it's easier to work with...
... MOST recently I stopped consuming peanut butter on a frequent basis, but in the rare event I am doing something that calls for peanut butter then just how much "solid nut" I want in it kinda depends on what I'm doing with it, as some things are good with a little crunch but there's still a lot of stuff where smooth is easier to work with.
(Crunchy can be good for PB&J, but I've been known to use peanut butter for such "odd" sandwiches as peanut butter and cheese, and for that... it's better if I can lay the cheese out flat without lumps of peanut getting in the way.)
(... Also, yes, you heard me...)
("Preferred variety of peanut butter: 'Extra cheesy!'")

To be clear, the yellow carrot was a reference to the old-TIMELESS, I mean timeless "Dancing Banana" meme... I was not actually suggesting adding carrots to a peanut butter sandwich...
(I think I might have tried that once but it didn't work out well: IIRC: The carrot was just a little TOO crunchy for proper sandwiching. Maybe if they were carrot strips instead of carrot coins, though... hmm...)
That's probably the right way to go.
In addition to what I mentioned, I personally find (obviously YMMV for everything) that peanut butter goes well with other savory foods and sweets... cheese works because it's savory. Carrots are a "texture focused" food item, so even the carrot strips I was suggesting would probably be more of a lunch-meat accompaniment (and probably great for a garden sandwich)...
... I've never tried caramelized carrots (and probably wouldn't like them, if they're anything like other forms of cooked carrots) but figure they might be a better accompaniment for peanut butter in much the same way that jam, honey, or chocolate are?
Obv, I wouldn't know ;-p.
(Is spoilering still necessary? I'm assuming it's not. I can edit if I'm in the wrong but otherwise I'm stepping out of the spoiler so that it's still useful for other purposes ;-p.)

Well, I'm not sure. Carrots have a sweetness to them, so if they are prepared correctly, they could turn in to a jelly, jam, or preserve.

I never said that carrots would be all that sweet, just that they have a sweetness to them. Must add honey... probably.

Yeah, but have you ever tried to get molasses out of the jar in January? It just doesn't happen! LOL

I've never tried almond butter. I'm thinking it's probably more expensive, that's probably why I haven't seen it.
We get it from Costco in a big 27 oz. jar. Now how do they get that number? lol I have made my own before, same with peanut butter in a food processor. It's quite good but it takes awhile & the cleanup can be a pain.

Yeah, 27 oz does sound like an odd number. Maybe it's just a temporary step toward 25, so they can charge more it then. You know better quality or some other BS to do with strinkflation...
I can imagine that it creates a big mess.
