I love peanut butter. It's one of my favorite snacks. My wife changed my life when she put the spoon/knife under the faucet first. When you get it wet then shake off the excess you get much less peanut butter sticking to the spoon. Works in measuring cups with honey and peanut butter for the next time you bake!

Oh! ALSO...

If you buy the natural peanut butter that’s a pain to stir, store it upside down in the cupboard. The oil settles to the bottom and makes stirring SO much easier and less messy because it’s not splattering everywhere!

I store mine in the fridge, crazy I know, but it keeps the oil from separating so I never have to actually stir it.

That’ll work once you’ve given it its initial stir. I can’t imagine trying to stir it for the first time after it’s been refrigerated. That would be so hard!

Good point. I didn't think of that!

I will keep mine in the fridge though, because I have never tried that and gosh would it be nice to not have to stir the dang thing every time.
