Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
You know that YouTube viral hit featuring a pixely banana singing in a rapperish voice with tons of enthusiasm, “it’s peanut butter jelly time”? Yea, I don’t get it.
What I do get is being super excited about PEANUT BUTTER (or almond butter or any nut variety butter for that matter!)! Just found out this morning that a 3-pack of Barney Butter almond butter in smooth is now available from Amazon.com for $23.08 – that’s $7.69/each, which is the cheapest price you’ll find around. Shipping is free, which is great b/c if you buy online directly from Barney Butter it’ll cost you $7.99 plus $6.92 for UPS ground shipping – the cheapest shipping option they have available. I get why companies want to use UPS for shipping – they’re responsible, yes — but the added cost is really not something I am willing to pay for (even if it’s for almond butter!). This is why I have yet to purchase anything from Holey Donuts (and how I could use a donut right now!). Is having three jars of Barney Butter a good idea? Yes, if an exercise in self-control is a good idea. I’ll keep you posted as to when the crunchy version of Barney Butter almond butter becomes available via Amazon.com.
If I’ve got you thinking about what you could do with three jars of almond butter, I shake my head at you. The options are endless! I mean you could just leave them be until you’re ready to use them…but you could also just make a ton of goodies and send me some! Muahah! Or, *sigh*, you could also buy one jar directly from Whole Foods for $8.99.
Check out this site called Peanut Butter Boy for peanut-butter-related recipes that could easily use almond butter or cashew butter instead. You will be amazed at how delicious and original his recipes look and a lot of them are actually healthy! Wow! I haven’t tried any out yet, but I hope to this weekend as an Easter treat!
Alright, I’m drooling…

I hear such great things about barney butter but I have yet to try it. I have so many jars of peanut butter that I need to finish and I can’t possibly see myself liking barney butter MORE than peanut butter. Someday I’ll find it in a store…. Thanks for the shoutout! Every recipe is at least what I consider “healthy”. And yes, you can pretty much use any nut butter in these recipes. I’ll be posting an Easter treat shortly =).
