I believe that there isn’t a soul on earth that doesn’t know about peanut butter. I bet that, even though you might not like it, you tried at least one peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What most of you PB lovers don’t know, though, is that the use of peanuts dates to the Aztecs and Incas. Believe it or not, the peanut paste may have been used by the Aztecs as a toothache remedy in the first century of the Common Era (CE). Peanut butter was patented by Marcellus Gilmore Edson (1849 – 1940) of Montreal, Canada as “a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment”.
PB, thanks to its fame has its own National Peanut Butter Day which is on January 24th in the US. But let’s not make a huge detour of the topic we have here today. Today you will learn about a few tasty little treats that are even better when you add PB to them. Enjoy!

Cookies & Cream Peanut Butter Bark
Although on place No. 8, this one is definitely our favorite PB enhanced snack. Why? Well, the PB and Oreos is something that we didn’t expect to be this delicious, but we were so wrong. This no-bake bark/dessert is messy, fabulous and addicting. Cookies & cream crust, creamy peanut butter filling, chocolate shell and crumbled Oreos on to, mmmm. My mouth waters just by writing about it.
