Krema has offered to send two lucky winners 2 jars of their natural peanut butter. Check out Krema's website and to enter leave a comment here about what your favorite food involving peanut butter is before Thursday, September 9th at noon (EST). I seriously don't know if I could narrow it down.

My mom is somewhat of a health nut and used to make these growing up as an after school snack. They are a healthy snack and are like little protein balls. At least that's what I kept telling myself as I threw them down my throat.
Peanut Butter Balls
1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter (like Kremas)
1/2 cup honey3/4 cup nonfat powdered milk
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
Combine all ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Using your hands, roll the dough into balls about the size of large gumballs. Place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper, and refrigerate until set. Makes about 18 balls.

Then since I couldn't stop making peanut butter recipes, here's Krema's twist on a recipe that won $25,000 in a JIF contest.
Chicken and Peanut Butter Lettuce Wraps
iceberg or romaine lettuce leaves
Filling:
1/2 to 3/4 cup chopped Fuji apple (about 1 apple)
1 cup cooked chicken (I boiled mine with salt, pepper, and onion)20 red grapes, halved
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
Sauce:
1 Tablespoon light mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon honey
1 Tablespoon all-natural creamy Krema peanut butter
Combine all of the filling ingredients and then pour the sauce and combine. Spoon into a fresh, crispy lettuce leaf and roll it up. Makes four lettuce wraps.

My favorite peanut butter recipe would have to be Cold Thai noodles with peanut sauce & sesame seeds. Yum, I could eat those noodles all day/everyday.
In my book, Peanut Butter and just about anything go together. My latest is peanut butter and graham crackers. Yummy!
Oh and, by the way, the cinnamon roll cake was a hit at the picnic. I even had some for breakfast this morning. Cinnamon rolls are a breakfast food right?!?!
With a 6 year old, we go through peanut butter like it's going out of style. When he says he wants a hot dog, it means peanut butter inside a hot dog bun.
My favorite recipe with peanut butter is chicken satay.

I love PB anything! But lately I've been really ento PB and Banana Sandwiches.
Krema peanut butter chocolate chip cookies---YUM!!!

is it considered a recipe if i just eat it by the spoonful? if not, then i don't think anything can beat a PB&J with milk.
My favorite food involving peanut butter would probably be just peanut butter on toast or with apple wedges. As for a sweet treat, I like to add peanut butter to white almond bark baking bar (melted), stir in some roasted peanuts, mini marshmallows and crispy rice cereal. Drop by spoonful onto buttered cookie sheet. Refrigerate to firm them up. Once hardened, remove and place in storage container with lid in the fridge.
I love anything with peanut butter, banana, and chocolate...its such a heavenly combination!
flourless peanutbutter cookies with M&M's!
My favorite is still peanut butter cookies! Thanks for all of the great recipes! We have been trying them out the last couple of weeks!
Most often I just eat PB toast with honey. But I do love me some PB cookies!
Yummy! I love peanut butter. We like it so much at my house that my kids like to crunch up nutter butters and mix them into the peanut butter cookie batter. Thanks for the chance to win!
I'm with Kimi...peanut butter by the spoonful. But I also love peanut butter & marshmallow toasted on a tortilla! A family fam growing up.
peanut butter cookies of course! Or peanut butter on toast is always delicious too.
Fluffernutter sandwiches are the best! (They call them nutty creams on their website.)
I've loved peanut butter for as long as I can remember and still eat PB&Js regularly as an adult. I love licking it off the knife after I've made a pb sandwich, eating it by the spoonful or in these amazing pb, oatmeal & cc cookies that I make. I could never get tired of it.
Ugh. How do you choose a fave? I am a sucker for a good PB&J. And peanut butter cookies are always my first choice! My husbands favorite treat is a chocolate bar and jar of peanut butter!
Thai peanut salad dressing. Hands down!
Our absolute favorite peanut butter item in this household is peanut butter pie. My husband requests it for his birthday and Father's Day every year!
Anything Thai with a peanut sauce is a second runner-up for me.
You can't go wrong with just a good PB&J. I saw Krema added bacon to their PB&J - interesting.
I am going to make your peanut butter balls first.
I like peanut butter crackers the best-Ohh or peanut sauce with spring rolls. Would love to experiment more with cooking with peanut butter though!
I think that peanut butter is the best compliment to chocolate. I am going to make a hot fugde peanut butter cake in my crock pot today! yum yum
Peanut butter fudge. From scratch not confectioners sugar or marshmallow fluff.
My favorite involves anything peanut butter and chocolate together! mmmmmmm!!!
Hmmm...how to narrow it down...we love so many things with peanut butter here...my favorite would probably be peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. I had it at a restaurant recently and now I want to try making it
My fav would have to be peanut butter cookies, brings me right back to childhood! :)
My favorite peanut butter recipe is the peanut butter pie my friend makes. Yummy!!!

I've gotta say, my favorite PB recipe is one I made just this morning. Peanut butter chocolate brownie cheesecake!!!
I'll be posting that one soon :) from Bon Appetit.
My favorite would have to be a plain ole PB&J!
Right now it is peanut butter, honey and banana sandwiches. My kids love them and I do too!
I eat an apple with peanut butter every day for lunch! It is my super food!
I really couldn't narrow it down! I love peanut butter and if I ever see a recipe for it you can be sure I will be making it. I have probably 15 different cookie recipes, 20 pie recipes, 15 bars recipes that I love and make all the time with peanut butter. I would love to try Kremas.
My favorite treat recipe with peanut butter would have to be

My favorite sandwich would be the pb and j bread braid shown on your blog!!
That sandwich sounds sooo good!
I love chocolate covered PB balls. mmmmm!

My favorite food involving peanut butter is...ANY food involving peanut butter! Yummmm
Peanut Butter is a staple at our house. PB&J sandwiches, PB&honey toast, it is so good. We love peanut butter pancakes. I make them bite size and sandwich jam between two pancakes and send it in their lunch-they are a hit!
Haven't tried any "natural" PB yet - just stick with my Skippy and that's usually what is used for my favorite breakfast of toast and PB. The balls look yummy and could easily be a kid favorite too!
I don't think you can beat a peanut butter and nutella panini. So delicious!!!
Peanut Blossom cookies, you know the ones with the Hershey kiss in the middle? Those are my favorite peanut butter thing ever, bar none, hands down....and for the record I make them with the special dark kisses. Heaven.
Those all look great! My favorite thing with peanut butter is no-bake cookies or peanut butter bars!
Peanut butter on top of waffles is quite a treat. I also love mixing it into ice cream!
It might not be the most elegant dish, but when I was a litle girl, my mother would make wheat toast for me and top it with a blend of maple syrup and peanut butter. It's still a favorite.
My favorite peanut butter food has got to be PB and Chocolate Chip cookies. A close second is Scotcharoos and my kids love PB toast with cinnamon/sugar on it.
I'd love to win free PB to try out!
I haven't thought about peanut butter balls since I was a little kid. I remember we made them in my 1st grade class, only we rolled some of them in cocoa powder. Yum. My son is a peanut butter enthusiast, in fact that is all I can get him to eat sometimes. We like ours on a hot waffle with raisins.
We will be making peanut butter balls soon.
Thanks,
I love most foods involving peanut butter, but I think my top two favorites are peanut butter milkshakes and peanutty Thai noodles. When I make my own peanut sauce, I use about three times the amount of peanut butter necessary. So good.
Hard to choose just one... but one favorite is Monster Cookies- lots of texture from a variety of ingredients.
Mine is definately my grandmother's Peanut Butter Cheesecake with Orea crust. People would come to her fish restaurant just for the cheesecake!
This question is an impossiblity. What DON'T I like that doesn't involve peanut butter in some way?
Hmm...love putting peanut butter on graham crackers, love eating it with apples, love it in ANY dessert I've ever come across. But the most favorite recent PB treat were Triple Threat Cookies - PB, chocolate chips, and oats. It was great!
Obviously peanut butter and chocolate is the best combination ever. So I love cookies, cupcakes, or anything that has chocolate and peanut butter combo
we love peanut butter! our favorite is peanut butter bars with chocolate - YUM!
I love peanut butter and oatmeal cookies <3
We have to pick one?!?!?! Alright, I'm going classic PB&J. When I started going on a diet I was crushed that peanut butter, white bread, and jelly were 3 horrible things to eat. But... natural peanut butter, wheat bread, and low sugar (grape!) jelly is fantastic!
How about just peanut butter straight up on a spoon? Yum Yum!
I too, remember eating those peanut butter balls as a kid!
Those chicken and peanut butter lettuce wraps look delish!
I also make a Asian Peanut Butter Pork that is AMAZING!
I absolutely love my local Chinese restaurant's peanut butter chicken. Chicken fried in strips and dredged in a sticky sweet peanut butter sauce. The owner was sweet enough to tell me the recipe, but I only understood half of what she said. Need to learn Chinese!!
Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie from the Woodland here in Austin. Yowza.
plain peanut butter on a spoon.....
or peanut butter and jelly quesadillas
Peanut Butter and Nutella with some mini marshmallows on a graham cracker
my favorite thing right now would have to be no bake cookies, I could eat peanut butter everyday! I love to put a tablespoon of pb into my choc. protein shakes in the morning along with a banana.. It is SOOO GOOD!
I love peanut butter any way I can get it, but I love it in the morning on my toast! I can't start my day off right without it!
You just can't beat a plain old peanut butter and jelly sandwich- grape jelly please. :)
My current favorite is your Peanut Butter chocolate chip cookies. So, so good.
I love a treat that my mom makes me every Christmas. Her great "potato candy". It is my special food she fixes for the holidays.
YUM! i love making peanut butter brownies! ahhh sweet & salty is the best :)
I love eating peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon! I get to REALLY taste the peanut butter. I think this would be delicious spread on a banana. Mmmm.
YUM! My favorite thing with peanut butter right now is a flourless peanut butter cookie with cinnamon chips in them. Sounds a little weird but oh so very good!
No hesitation: Peanut butter cookies--the kind with the criss-cross fork marks on top!
Ok, this is confession material...my favorite food involving peanut butter is not exactly a food/recipe, but a spoonful of peanut butter dipped in chocolate chips! YUM!!!!
Thanks for posting the giveaway - I would love to win this guilty pleasure!

My favorite peanut butter recipe is a banana honey peanut butter muffin recipe! It's so amazing!
My favorite peanut butter recipe is probably those good old peanut butter bars with chocolate on top that everyone makes when they need a quick treat. But pretty much I will eat anything that involves peanut butter in any way.
you make me hungry every time i look at your website...literally drooling over how yummy the food looks in your photos!
i love nothing more than a good old fashioned pb and jelly sandwich:) however i'm going to need to try those pb balls that you posted and i may change my mind. those look oh so delicious!
Wow! I am really looking forward to trying these pb balls. Hopefully the calories are low enough that I can eat more than one at a time. ;)
On toast & drizzled with honey! It's worth a bigger pants size!
For your peanut butter balls, I usually add in 2 tbs sesame seeds, some raisins and some chopped almonds, just delicuious!
Peanut butter cookie dough!
My favorite peanut butter treat (though it's very hard to choose) is peanut butter toast with fresh fruit topping instead of jam. My very most favorite is blackberries just picked from the vine on my still warm peanut butter toast. Yum!
