Did you get that? It says “I am crazy for this peanut butter”! For months I have read about P.B.Loco on many blogs, but never could find any in my local stores. Sure, I could have ordered it online, but I really try to avoid shipping charges at any cost. I waited patiently. Good things come to those who wait. 🙂 While on vacation last week in Sunset Beach, NC, we traveled South (my Mom & I) to Myrtle Beach for a day full of shopping & lunch out. We hit up a store called “The Peanut Shop“. I love all things nuts, so I figured that I couldn’t go wrong in that store! LOL! I was purchasing some gifts (I can’t share yet) and overheard this woman saying something about chocolate chip cookie dough peanut butter. My little ears perked right up and I made a beeline right over to where these nice ladies were. Imagine my surprise when there was a nice display rack of P.B.Loco jars sitting there! I almost squealed! Okay, maybe I did a little bit. I quickly grabbed the Dark Chocolate Duo, as it was the only one they had! Hands off my dark chocolate, people! 😉 Next I snagged a Sumatra Cinnamon Raisin and a Jungle Banana. The only other kind they had that day was the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I wasn’t sure if that variety was gluten-free, so I left it behind. Later I saw that all 3 jars that I did pick up had “Gluten-Free” written on the side. I wish I would have looked closer at the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough! My Mom could do nothing but giggle at me.
Fast forward to this morning. Yes, I still have other nut butters open in my pantry, but had to open the Sumatra Cinnamon. I couldn’t wait any longer. I spread this delicacy on my brown rice cake (lots of raisins!). I topped with Trader Joe’s Pumpkin butter. If that was not just a little party in my mouth!! OH.MY.GOSH! Yes, I know those flavors say “Fall” more than “Summer”, but I don’t care. My mouth doesn’t care. This was an amazing combo. This peanut butter is one of the most unique nut butters that I have tried. A definite must purchase again product!

Now, onto the other new love of my life (my first love, other than my dear husband, is Barney Butter) is Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter. I picked this up on the spur of the moment when I had won a gift card to Trader Joe’s. It has been in my fridge, unopened, for about a month. I thought today would be the perfect time to give it a try. Another win!! Wow!! Perfect pumpkin flavor for the pumpkin freak that I am .
If you love raisins, peanut butter & pumpkin, give these products a try!

Hi Kim,
This stuff is the best. We found it in TN. and we bought the “Dark Chocolate Duo” also….it is the awesome! We also bought the White Choc. Rasp., didn’t care for it much though.
Enjoy!

Thanks Pam!! I can’t wait to crack open the DCD! Thanks for the head’s up on the WCR. I have tried PB & Co’s White Chocolate Wonderful and wasn’t super crazy about it either. A little on the dry side.
Kim
Awe, you won’t be disappointed! Our jar didn’t last long…lol!!! Thanks for the tip on PB & Co, I have seen that and wondered!
Have a great day,
Pam
I love that TJ’s pumpkin butter too…unfortunately it seems to be a seasonal item. Next Thanksgiving I’ll have to stock up!
I think I got lucky when I found it back in May! If I see anymore, I am going to grab them! 😉
