Jif Creamy Peanut Butter

You're using your Jif peanut butter WRONG. Yeah, I said it. What you SHOULD be doing, is making crunchy, creamy, delightfully tasty no-bake haystacks. Don't know what haystacks are? Shame on you. Here's what you need: 1. One package of butterscotch chips (11 ounces). 2. 1/2 Cup of Jif Creamy Peanut Butter (8 tablespoons) 3. One 5 ounce can of La Choy brand Chow Mein Noodles Making Haystacks: 1. Place wax paper on a tray or cookie sheet. 2. Put butterscotch chips and peanut butter into a microwave-safe bowl. 3. Heat in microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between cooking. You want it gradually heated until smooth; heating for too long will mess up the texture (and you will have to add a bit of cooking oil to smooth it back out). 4. When the mixture is nice and smooth, add in the crunchy Chow Mein noodles. Stir until the noodles are all coated with the mixture. 5. Using a spoon, scoop up about a tablespoon of the mixture, and drop onto the wax paper (dessert or cupcake paper liners can also be used). 6. Give it a few hours for them to set. The best way to store them is in an airtight container at room temperature. Definitely do not freeze them. You can refrigerate them, but it might make them a little too firm. These make excellent gifts if you put finished haystacks into a cookie tin. Some of my fellow Southerners will add a half cup of cocktail peanuts and/or mini marshmallows to the mixture for a fun texture. I like to stick to just the main three ingredients, though. You can find butterscotch chips in the baking section of most grocery stores, and chow mein noodles in the Asian/International aisle. Another fun way to present haystacks is to shape them like little bird nests, and add a mini chocolate or candy-coated egg to the center of each one. You can also experiment by using chocolate Jif, or adding chocolate chips to the mixture when heating it up. Haystacks are something of a Christmas confectionery tradition in the Deep South. Although they can obviously be enjoyed any time of year. Jif peanut butter is fantastic for making these tasty treats. And the low price certainly doesn't hurt, either. Add a few jars of Jif peanut butter to your shopping cart now, as well as some butterscotch chips and chow mein noodles, while you're at it. You'll be making this wonderful dessert before you know it - just save some for me!

These jars were in a nice, reusable box instead of simply being loose in the shipping box. That impressed me. They have good expiration dates and the price was good compared to local stores. I’m a Jif lover at heart. Store brands don’t always taste as good. These jars are a nice size because you can get the knife in without getting peanut butter on your wrist and hand. Just right for a single person or small family. I like the set of three because there are back up jars. They’re well sealed, so they’ll last a long time. Jif has molasses, which gives it a richer taste. I like the natural Jif, too, but this kind tastes good on everything. It’s always creamy and easy to spread. I love it with apples or bananas, too.

Absolutely worth the price. I love Jiffy products.

Some debates are classics: Coke vs. Pepsi...Jif vs. Skippy. These brands are all good...that's why they're leaders, so favoring one over the other is wholly based on personal taste. I prefer Coke period, but other family members are just as fiercely stubborn about Pepsi. Being 76, I grew up on Skippy. Jif didn't show up until I was 12. Skippy had a quarter-century head-start over Jif, and held on to #1 until 1980. Today, Jif literally DOMINATES the PB market by a huge margin. I still have a strong nostalgic connection in my heart for Skippy, but I lean towards the "more like fresh roasted peanuts" taste of Jif (remember that ad slogan?). However, for me both are so much alike that without doing a side-by-side spoon-licking test, it's a coin flip...and I will enjoy either one without reservation. I bought this Jif because it was offered how I like my PB, in small bottles and quantity...16 ounce pack of 3 (Skippy only had an 8-pack multiple). Received it really well packed in its own THICK corrugated cardboard box. I don't like PB in large bottles...the struggle to get the last of it from the bottom without getting PB on the handle of the spoon (I prefer a spoon over a butter knife) and your fingers is too annoying for me. Plus, 16 ounce bottles are the perfect size for my use as they stay unrefrigerated just-opened fresh to the end...just in time to crack open a new bottle. Peanut butter is one of the good things in my life. There's something so very comforting about peanut butter, especially when licked out of a spoon. Someone once said: "Peanut butter fills the cracks of the heart." An interesting angle on the emotional energy of PB, don't you think? ツ

If I made a list of the top ten foods I'd keep around the house at all times, this peanut butter would be in the top 5! My husband loves to make his own peanut butter and jelly sandwich whenever he gets hungry for one and I love this with crackers or on a hoagie roll with some raspberry jam. If you've tried other peanut butters that you have to mix up constantly and spill oil out the top of the jar you will really appreciate the convenience of this peanut butter which is always ready to use and spreads easily with a knife. If you have yet to try this brand of peanut butter you've really been missing out! I love that I can get three containers that will last a while. I'm trying to save time shopping so getting my pantry items when I'm running low! ~The Rebecca Review

Good price for good product. But Simply Jif is better, healthier.

I recently stocked up on the Jif Creamy Peanut Butter 16 oz (Pack of 3), and it’s exactly the quality and taste I expect from a classic brand. The texture is smooth and spreadable straight out of the jar—perfect for toast, sandwiches, smoothies, or just a spoonful as a snack. There’s no need to stir it, and it doesn’t separate like some natural brands do. It isn’t oily. The flavor is rich, slightly sweet, and full of that roasted peanut goodness. Each jar lasts a good while, and the 3-pack is super convenient for families or anyone who uses peanut butter regularly. It’s also great for baking—makes excellent cookies and protein bites. If you want a reliable, creamy peanut butter that hits the mark every time, this is a solid pick.

Produto maravilhoso !

Infelizmente, devido à transportadora, o produto demorou MUITO mais do que o previsto para chegar à minha residência (quase um mês após a data de compra!). Porém ressalto o primor na embalagem! Os itens vieram como se estivessem na loja! Sem quaisquer amassos ou detalhes! Incrível! Isso me leva a relevar uma possível avaliação com menos estrelas e possíveis críticas. Demorou mas chegou! E isso me deixou feliz demais! Pelo fato de ter demorado em demasia, acabei recebendo o reembolso integral do valor cobrado, pois cheguei a perder as esperanças de receber a encomenda. Mesmo com um contato por parte da vendedora. Posterior a isso tudo, me prontifiquei a pagar pelo pedido, pois não me senti confortável em, apesar da demora exarcebada, ficar com os potes e não pagar nada pelos mesmos (mandei uma mensagem via e-mail, ressaltando esse desejo, porém não obtive resposta). O fato é que pretendo comprar mais vezes no futuro, além de vir muito bem embalado e devidamente lacrado, destaco a validade longa como outro ponto BASTANTE positivo! A qualidade do produto em si dispensa comentários! Já o conhecia de longa data. Podem comprar sem medo de ser feliz! A questão só foi a entrega mesmo.

Chegou antes do prazo, produto de excelente qualidade.
