The first time I tried Better 'n Peanut Butter, the skies opened up, sunlight poured down and little peanut-shaped angels started singing the Hallelujah chorus.

OK, I exaggerate a little.

The angels were singing "Build me up Buttercup" instead.

Seriously, this stuff is too good to be true.  It's HALF the calories of regular peanut butter, much lower in fat, and tastes like dessert.  And yet it still has the good healthy fat and is made from - wait for it - actual peanuts.

I don't know how they make this stuff, and quite frankly, I don't care.  I can pronounce all but one of the ingredients on the label, and it's made from - wait for it - actual peanuts.

The one downside (hence the lack of a perfect score) is that it's pricey.  However, SuperTarget runs sales every now and then (and when they do, my husband and I usually buy the whole shelf, so you will have to beat us there).  Oh, the other downside?  Since it's "healthy," I have been known to scour my kitchen just to look for things to spread it on (don't knock peanut butter-covered Cheerios until you've tried it).

p.s. - if the bread in the picture looks yummy, here's how you can make it: Whole Wheat Bread
