Hubs and I discovered the Peanut Butter & Co products at Wal-Mart Supercenter a few months ago. We were intrigued with the combination of peanut butter and white chocolate so we decided to start with the White Chocolate Wonderful variant which has the all-natural peanut butter and white chocolate combo. The website sells it for $6 but if I remember it right, it was about $4 at Wal-Mart. Hubs tested it first by getting a spoonful of it. He told me it was just OK and he was right. The combination wasn’t as rich as I expected it to be. The white chocolate flavor got lost. It was more peanut butter with a slight taste of white chocolate. I was really disappointed. It did not inspire me to make any desserts out of it. It served as spread on toasted breads and kids licking a spoonful for a snack. Just like regular peanut butter.
Even though the 1st variant was disappointing, we decided to try another one. This time it’s the Dark Chocolate Dreams. This was much better. The combination of peanut butter and dark chocolate was balanced. You can taste both flavors. The rich dark chocolate flavor blended really well with the creaminess of the peanut butter. So with that, I was inspired to make cupcakes ala self-frosting nutella cupcakes.
Would I buy it again or try the other variants? Hmmm, perhaps, but it’s not something I would include in my grocery list every 2 weeks. It will be like a novelty grocery item that I might indulge on if I have extra money in the budget.
Ohh. I can’t wait to go and pick one.
there’s a store here in Manila which opened with the same concept… they also have dark choco peanut butter, and I wanna try it.
