When I think of peanut butter the first thing that comes to mind is peanut butter and jelly (or jam, to you British). It’s no wonder, considering the average American child will eat 1,500 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches before graduating from high school. Given the popularity of the PB&J along with the call for recipes for The Great Peanut Butter Exhibition #4 – No Bake, I would expect at least one unique take on our favorite sandwich. Perhaps something like my Ultimate Double Decker but no, not one sandwich. Fortunately, the entries were even more interesting than our old pal PB&J (however, one of our winners did manage to shove a PB&J into something!).
This time around we had 16 excellent entries, 4 of which are peanut butter balls, 4 ice cream, 3 bar recipes, 1 pie, 1 dip, 1 mousse, 1 parfait and 1 flavored peanut butter (and a partridge in a pear tree). Keep in mind, since these are all no-bake recipes they are fast and easy to make. Take a look at that picture above and pick out at least 4 recipes that you are going to make. There are a few duplicates because not all entries had pictures so I used some extra pictures from the entries. When e from Foodaphilia and I chose our favorites based on the criteria we discovered we had another tie, this time for 2nd place. Rather than hold a tiebreaker we’ve awarded two 2nd place winners! Of course, don’t forget that there are no real winners because the real prize is the collection of peanut butter recipes and blogs that we’ve collected here.
Now keep reading to see the contenders and winners of the Fourth Peanut Butter Exhibition!
