Toppy Peanut Butter

So the Lidl/Aldi thread prompted me to wander into Aldi today, and what is the very first thing I see? Toppy peanut butter! 

So I bought a jar of the chunky stuff, and I must say, it's pretty nice! Tasted very much like name brand american peanut butter to me. (Apologies to you PB snobs out there, but I just can't tell the difference between the big brands. Sorry! )

I'd buy it again for 79p! 

So there you have it, everyone!  Two thumbs up for Toppy!

(Though I'm a natural peanut butter aficionado myself.)

I saw "Route 66" peanut butter in Lidl today, but was too scared to try it.  Anyone had positive experiences?

Someone has to be the first to try everything. You should go back, buy it, and be our tester. 

It's just peanut butter. If it's bad, you throw it away.

exactly!

i've had aldi's PB before... just cant remember which brand it was.  it was fine.

We were just in a Sainbsurys yesterday, not our local one, and they had Skippy P.B.! I was surprised, to say the least. Don't know if this is a regular thing, I think it is, because the price label on the shelf had Skippy on it. I still have a Costco jar, but I'm checking out my Sainsburys next time I'm there to see if they have it as well.

Our Sainsbury's always has skippy but it comes in a tiny jar.  We get ours at Costco in the US size jar.  Some things we do just because we can and it feels familiar.

I'm not a huge PB fan, but I'm tempted to try this (if I can find it at our Lidl)! I just like the name! 

Like Courtney, I probably can't tell the difference between one brand and another, though - unless it was really really vile.

I saw that at Lidl - the Rt 66 stuff. It scared me because it was a very pale color. I'm pretty sure I had the Toppy stuff and it was fine.

my local sainsbury's always has skippy.

I can't comment on the taste of the product because I'd like to find out more about it first.

Lots of peanut butter fear here.   

Maybe it's the brownness of it?

Yup, if it's really that pale, I might be put off.

No fear. I just walked in there, picked up a jar of Route 66, put it in my trolley, paid for it. Took it home. Carefully.

Cleared the kitchen of any unnecessary people. Safety being a priority in this house. Slowly opened the jar and was wafted in the face by a smell of what I can only describe as peanut butter.

I carefully put in a spoon and extracted a proper spoonful of the thick brown material.

I looked at it. It looked like peanut butter.
I sniffed it. Very carefully. Smelled like peanut butter
I tasted a small piece. Tasted like, well, like peanut butter.
Waited a whole 5 seconds,  just to be sure, then shoved the whole spoon in my mouth.

Yup I am pleased to say it is peanut butter.

It is actual ok. It is really crunchy. I will buy it again. It's made for Lidl. In the EU I think.

Roasted peanuts 95%, Brown Cane Sugar, Palm Oil, Sea Salt. That is all.

I survived.

Hi my name is Bob and I am a peanut butter ho'.

Does anyone make their own PB? I'd be interested in learning how to do it.

I like natural PB and haven't been able to find anything good here.
