Five Peanut Butter Snacks for the Weekend

When it comes snacks to keep you fueled while escaping to the park, on a roadtrip, or to the country, nothing beats peanut butter. It's full of protein, easy to store, and so yummy. Here are five snacks and treats that feature peanut butter — from husband-winning cookies to gooey popcorn to peanut butter sushi, we think you'll find some peanut butter to love in this list.

Peanut Butter Popcorn - A delicious mix of gooey peanut butter coating and fresh-popped, crunchy popcorn.

Peanut Butter and Fruit "Sushi" - A new way to eat your peanut butter sandwich, and so cute, too.

Milk and Honey Peanut Butter Balls - A healthier version of fudge, and easily made in about five minutes. Great road trip fuel.

Husband-winning Peanut Butter Cookies - Our definitive peanut butter cookie recipe!

Peanut Butter Ice Cream - If you're staying home this weekend, give this peanut butter ice cream a try!

What was the last thing you did with peanut butter? Do you have any good weekend snacks and treats to add to this list?

Try making chocolate peanut butter squares. It's dessert rather than a snack, but they're sooo good!

Love me some peanut butter! Thanks for the great ideas-I've been meaning to try the peanut butter balls and now I can add the PB popcorn to that same list.

Peanut butter "sushi". Huh.

*scratches head*

Still not sure whether to love it or hate it.

Thanks for these great peanut butter recipes. You are right when you say peanut butter is packed with protein. In fact, it contains the most protein out of any other nut. America's peanut farmers thank you for your love and support of peanut butter!
