Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe and PB Crave Giveaway (ends 9/10)

I was recently ask to try PB Crave and submit a recipe using this peanut butter. Six other bloggers were part of this contest that was held over the weekend. We were not to tell our readers which recipe we submitted but just ask them to go vote for their favorite one. Thanks to all of you who took time to vote. I was super excited that my Peanut Butter Cookies were voted the winner!

The Peanut Butter Cookie recipe was given to me years ago by a fellow employee and has been a favorite ever since. Really how could you go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter together? And these are an easy cookie to make as they don’t require any cutting, icing, decorating etc.. For this recipe I used the PB Crave Choco Choco. This peanut butter has a delicious double dose of semi-sweet and rich dark chocolate with premium peanut butter and wild honey — it’s decadence and delight in every bite.

I love that PB Crave is made with only the finest, natural peanut butter, honey and mouth-watering flavor. The other great thing about PB Crave is their Project Peanut Butter. Through this program they make a donation from each jar of peanut butter sold. This non-profit group is focused on saving the lives of malnourished children. To date they have saved the lives of more than 100,000 children. So when you are buying PB Crave not only are you getting a jar of yummy, healthy peanut butter but you are helping support a great cause. And if you are looking to for somewhere to purchase this great PB Crave head to Walmart or Cost Plus World Market. Also be sure to check out celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern’s OpenSky Page and video review of PB Crave.
