Passionate About Peanut Butter in Boston
If I could have one wish granted, it would be to make peanut butter fat free and calorie free. Then I could eat it non-stop without guilt. And I would. More than I do now, which is a lot. Lucky for me (but not so lucky for my waist-line), Boston has all the shops that offer peanut buttery treats for me to enjoy. If only they were just a tad bit healthier. Oh well. As you can see, that's not stopping me!
Peanut Butter & Co Peanut Butter
This is my favorite peanut butter ever. Try it and you will fall in love with it. Incredibly sweet with little raisins and lots of cinnamon. Swoon. Yes, I’m swooning over peanut butter.
No kidding. I’m well aware this place isn’t located in Boston. But why not? Why, oh why not? I’m really, really in love with everything about this restaurant/shop. I’ve never had peanut butter as good as this. And I’m never seen so many amazing varieties. I want them all. And I would probably be the happiest girl in the world if Peanut Butter & Co came to Boston. Please!!

But of course, the Christmas Tree Shops come to my rescue! They have a HUGE stock of Peanut Butter & Co peanut butter. Every single kind!! You have no idea how happy this makes me. I just bought 5!! I was going to order some from Peanut Butter & Co’s website, but you know what? They’re $6.50 on there (plus shipping!). The Christmas Tree Shop has them for $2.99!! I didn’t know it was possible to fall in love with the Christmas Tree Shop even more, but I just did.

However, I have never seen these at the Christmas Tree Shop. Why not??? I would probably buy 8 boxes. I bet they are some of the most amazing things in the world!
Cheesecake Factory's Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake
Hi, Adam’s peanut butter cup fudge ripple cheesecake. Instead of giving me that piece you just cut for me, I’ll just take the rest. Yeah, like everything seen above. Thank you and have a nice day
Again, I am not a big cheesecake fan. There are about a million desserts I would choose over cheesecake. But bring me to the Cheesecake Factory and I absolutely cannot leave without getting a slice of Adam’s Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple Cheesecake. This stuff is out of this world. And no, I’d really rather not see the calorie/fat content in a slice. Let me live in oblivion.

Cold Stone Peanut Butter Cup Perfection
How can you say no to peanut buttery chocolate all melting together?? Mmmm.
Ready? I’m not even a fan of Cold Stone’s ice cream. I just don’t like it very much. It’s too soft and creamy. I prefer my ice cream nice and hard. BUT if you put a like it, love it, or gotta have it sized peanut butter cup perfection in front of me, I’d probably have the entire thing consumed in 6 minutes. Maybe less.

Haagen Dazs Peanut Butter Ice Cream
This is legitimately the best ice cream on planet Earth and probably the entire universe. Ah-mazing. Seriously, if you haven’t tried it, you really need to. And I guarantee you’ll eat the whole pint of it. You will not be able to stop!
It is often difficult to find Haagen-Dazs peanut butter ice cream (trust me, I KNOW), even when a store stocks every other kind of Haagen Dazs. I have no idea why this ridiculousness is allowed to occur, but it’s incredibly frustrating. However, Whole Foods almost always has the peanut butter flavor in stock, so head there when you get the craving!

On second thought, it appears the best ice cream in the world is also #1 on Newsweek’s list of “The Most Fattening Ice Cream Flavors.” Obviously this would happen to me. Now, not only can I not eat this ice cream any more, I have to think about how many billions of grams of fat I have consumed from this in my lifetime!
Better 'n Peanut Butter...NOT
I bought this in extreme excitement. Peanut butter with really little fat and so few calories?? Yes, please!!! But it disappointed. It’s not bad, per say, but it’s certainly not peanut butter (nor is it better than peanut butter) and will do nothing to help with my peanut butter cravings. Sadness.
However, lots of people swear by Better ‘n Peanut Butter and have actually stopped eating real peanut butter because of it. If you want to give it a try, pick some up at Trader Joe’s.

Get Your Peanut Butter Fix
Boston is great spot for peanut butter lovers. All of these places will cure your craving. But try not to go to all of them in one day. You might get sick and never want peanut butter again. Scary thought!!
Who Knew...In the World of Reese's
Here is a collection of items that made me say "HUH?!?! How come I never knew about these before?!?! And where (and when) can I get my hands on all this deliciousness?!?
Friendly's Reese's Ice Cream Cake
Why didn’t I know this existed? It could have saved my mom a lot of time and effort slaving over a stove making me birthday cakes. I’m willing to bet this tastes like pure heaven. I’m also willing to bet that I could eat the entire cake in one sitting. But that’s OK because it would be my birthday and I would be allowed. Yesss!
I’ve been hanging out at Friendly’s since I was a child (loved their cone head sundae). My favorite thing ever from Friendly’s is the Reese’s Pieces Sundae (with extra peanut butter sauce). But now that this cake has appeared in my life, everything could be changing.

Reese's Whoppers
Uhhhh. Really? I’m actually not too sure how amazing these would be, but I’m totally willing to give them a try. I’ve never really had many peanut butter based items that I haven’t liked, so I’m sure I could down a box or two of these. Especially if I was in a movie theater. Whoppers are perfect for that.
Reese's Banana Creme Peanut Butter Cup
What??! Here’s another I had NO idea about and am not quite sure what it would be like. Allegedly it’s dedicated to Elvis (I guess he loved bananas? And peanut butter?), which is a cute little idea. Plus, it’s king size (get it?? Elvis?? The King??). Anyway, I do like banana and I am a fan of the peanut butter and banana sandwich, so I have a feeling this would actually be pretty good. I’m willing to at least try.
Reese's Snacksters
I really don’t know what a Snackster is, but upon conducting some research, it appears the Reese’s version is filled with peanut buttery, cereal-ish goodness. Probably not incredibly nutritious for you, but the bag says 0 grams of trans fat so they could be a lot worse!
You can pick up the Whoppers, Banana Creme Peanut Butter Cups, and Snacksters at CVS. Where they also have tons of other heavenly peanut butter stuff.

This is the truest thing I’ve ever heard spoken. Words of wisdom.
Baskin Robbin's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae
Hold on just one second. Do all Baskin Robbins serve these?? As in, can I get one at the Baskin Robbins/Dunkin’ Donuts right down the street from my apartment? That would probably be a really horrible idea as this looks huge and perfect (LOOK at the layer of peanut butter on the bottom!!) and I’d probably eat the whole thing and then have to restrain myself from going back again and again night after night. Yup, I just plain don’t want to know.
I’d never been to a Baskin Robbins in my life until they started incorporating them into Dunkin’ Donuts. And then, I had no choice but to go in them since that’s where the coffee was at. But I still never really paid the Baskin Robbins side of the shop any attention. I’ve never even looked at their ice cream options. Now, I might start noticing. Could be trouble.

PB Twix
I haven’t actually tried this yet, because I’m scared of it. I’m scared I will fall deep in love and not be able to stop. Keep these away from me please.
Reese's Whipps
Lower fat and fewer calories. Reese’s Whipps are probably what I should be eating. At leas they’re good. But not quite like a peanut butter cup. Sigh.
Love
This phot brings me lots of joy. However, I wonder how much all this would last in my kitchen. Probably not long.

I make it my goal to try one new thing in Boston every week, but sometimes I find things I love so much, I just can't tear myself away from them.
