Peanut Butter & Co...Mmmmm


What could be more back to school than Peanut Butter?  But why settle for plain, ole boring peanut butter when you can awaken your kids taste buds with one of the fabulous flavours from Peanut Butter & Co?

Peanut Butter & Co pantry is filled with gourmet tasting PB, but with prices that you can afford.  For example, slather on some Cinnamon Raison Swirl or add a dollop of Dark Chocolate Dreams to your favorite fruit.  Like it spicey?  Peanut Butter & Co also as a taste treat for you.  The Heat is On will add pizazz to that plain cracker while still giving you all the nutritional value of normal peanut butter.


Other flavours included;

~ The Bees Knees
~ White Chocolate Wonderful
~ Mighty Maple
~ Old Fashioned Smooth
...and more

Plus, all these wonderful flavours come in either jars or easy squeeze packages. 

In addition to awesome peanut butter, PB&Co also carries Jams, Jellies, Baking Mixes, Nuts & Snacks Marshmellow Fluff (strawberry, raspberry and original), as well as Snack in a Box (crackers and peanut butter in one easy travel package).

Can't decide what to go with?  No problem.  Peanut Butter & Co also has Nutty Gift Assortments, perfect for gift giving or sampling on your own.

These squares are a sweet, gooey blend of crunchy cereal and chewy dried fruit. Wrap individual squares tightly with plastic wrap, and they're ready to go! Perfect for lunches or a quick car snack.
