Core Ingredients

• Nut butter. Peanut butter is the cheapest nut butter, but it’s good to have alter- natives if you’re allergic or your workplace has a peanut butter ban.

Preparation

• Eat directly out of the jar, on a spoon.

Variations

• Works equally well with other nut butters. Peanut, almond, Wowbutter, whatever you like can be substituted in all of these.

• You can also do this with hummus.

• Mix together one-to-one nut butter to honey (or maple syrup if you’re Canadian/vegan). Eat.

Non-Spoon Variations

• Spread on crackers.

• Spread on hard pretzels.

• Spread on soft pretzels.

• Spread on cheddar cheese slices.

• Spread on apple slices.

• Spread on bread, optionally with jam.
