It's sticky enough to halt your speech for a second! It offers a choice of either the creamy or crunchy variety. It's healthy overall yet fattening in large quantities. It’s great as a dip and even better covered in chocolate. Having these swell and not-so-swell descriptions attached to it, peanut butter is downright tasty. Plus, peanut butter is loaded with protein, so it has excellent nutritional value. On the other hand, the fat content of peanut butter is very high; but 80 percent of it is unsaturated fat (the “good fat”). Cholesterol is virtually non-existent in peanut butter.
So, what are you waiting for on this National Peanut Butter Day? Have yourself a dose of peanut butter in any of your favorite foods. Here are some tasty peanut buttery dessert morsels you can enjoy in Chicago:
- Peanut butter kisses at La Petite Sweet in Westmont: An absolutely delicious, crunchy and high-quality cookie with a chocolate kiss center.
- Chocolate peanut butter ice cream at Every Day’s a Sundae: And you thought peanut butter couldn’t hold up in a cold dessert, huh? The Chocolate Peanut Better ice cream is rated 22 out of 36 on Every Day’s a Sundae ice cream menu! Also check out their Peanut Butter Fudge ice cream, rated 28 on a scale of 36.
