What goes with Peanut Butter?
Peanut butter is a prepared spread made from roasted peanuts, with fine nut solids dispersed in peanut oil. Smooth and crunchy products differ in particle size; added sugar, salt and stabilising fats vary by producer. This profile covers the finished spread and its coating behaviour, rather than whole peanuts or loosely ground nuts.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Peanut Butter?
Match the roast flavour with browned ingredients or use acid and fresh, crisp textures to break up its density. Start with a product whose sweetness and salt level fit the dish. In a sauce, thin the paste gradually; in confectionery, keep enough body for a distinct centre. Richness, sweetness and seasoning must be balanced separately.
