From sweets to snacks, this fan favourite is an all-star pantry staple
Peanut butter’s versatility provides chefs with a winning advantage. In the realm of sweets, it serves as a foundation for classic favourites like peanut butter pie and chocolate peanut butter brownies. But its potential extends far beyond traditional snacks and desserts, from coconut ice cream ribboned with peanut butter and caramel to peanut butter-miso cookies. On the savoury side, this creamy spread pairs beautifully with spices, vinegars and seasonings, along with a host of funky, spicy and tart ingredients, allowing chefs to craft flavourful marinades, dressings and sauces. From satay-inspired peanut sauces to savoury peanut-based stews, the possibilities are endless.
Kraft Peanut Butter is a familiar favourite with consumers, boasting a 50-plus year history in Canada. Made with high quality dry-roasted peanuts to bring out the best flavour and aroma, it’s available in bulk or single-serve formats.
