Kevin gave me something for Christmas this year that I absolutely loved.
He got me a really fun collection of peanut butter spreads in some seriously intriguing flavor combinations.
They’re from Spread, a restaurant in San Diego that uses all locally grown, organic ingredients. I was so enamored with these extraordinary flavors that I had to stop by the restaurant in person while we were out in San Diego.
And I couldn’t leave without a few more jars.
They have flavors like Blonde, which is white chocolate and peanut butter blended with their own house-made chocolate peanut butter cups.
Tastes just like a peanut butter cup! Love this one.
And butterscotch peanut butter, which knocked my socks off. It’s sweet and peanut buttery and completely delicious. It’s my favorite for a good old fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
They have cinnamon peanut butter, which smells like heaven when you open it.
This is the Ode to Elvis peanut butter spread. Can you guess what’s in it?
It’s peanut butter and banana of course, but it’s also got just a taste of honey and.. are you ready for this? Organic soy bacon bits.
What a surprise when I tasted it! LOVED the salty, crunchy bacon bits. They are such a fun addition to this peanut butter spread.
This is Rose Salted Basil peanut butter. Oh my gosh. This one is incredible. Incredible. It’s basil. It’s peanut butter. It’s got organic dried rose petals in it. It’s fantastic. Love this on a Ritz cracker.
Oh boy. This is the one you’ve been waiting for. White Chocolate Pretzel peanut butter.
I attempted to maintain a semblance of dignity by spreading this on a Ritz cracker before consuming.
But I quickly gave up. This one’s best enjoyed straight out of the jar. It’s the only way to do it.
They even have just regular peanut butter. Super smooth and silky gourmet peanut butter.
They all taste like peanut butter.
The all have the wonderful, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth quality of peanut butter.
And they’re all incredibly delicious.
Remember what I said about the butterscotch peanut butter?
Perfection.
Here’s a link to Spread. where you can check out all these flavors and more in their online store. I’ve got my eye on their new Cookies ‘n Cream spread. They even have peanut butter spreads for pups!

Oh my! They all look and sound incredible!
This is crazy!! Who knew they had so many flavor of peanut butter… I didn’t! But I wish that had been my Christmas gift because I think testing all of them would be too much fun!!
Wow I am amazed at all the flavors. My favorite would be Ode to Elvis, my husbands all of them. Paulette
Oh my gosh! I LOVE Spread! I have been ordering from them since 2007! I absolutely adore their stuff and am so thrilled someone else has found it! I am a nutbutter freak. I love the rose salted basil in stir fries and with veggies!
These would b great if blended with buttercream for an awesome cake frosting, or used for peanut butter ice cream….yum, yum!
lately i’ve been dreaming of a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich…i can’t even imagine how amazing it would be with the blond spread!
For heaven’s sake! More temptations! I’m drooling on my iPad! ;)
These look amazing! I bet your sweet puppies were beside themselves smelling all these open jars!

Wow, ordering some of these today!
Oh me oh my!! These look simply divine!! I can’t resist peanut butter and am already imaging a couple of these warmed up and drizzled over ice cream. Heaven!!
I’ve never seen this before! Now I wish I hadn’t because now I have to buy some ;)
I’ll bring you that Cookies and Cream one when I see you in Atlanta :)
Some of these sound entirely strange, but it’s definitely worth a stop-by to their store to do some investigating!
What an AWESOME post! Thanks for sharing….these peanut butter spreads are amazing, I am looking forward to giving them a try. Love your blog, my 14 year old daughter and I are big fans, I catch her reading it all the time.
I really want to sample all of these, too! The rose salted basil one is the most intriguing to me, though. I love anything with basil, but I can’t quite imagine what this would taste like…!
Amanda, these are some very interesting peanut butter flavors. I’m not to sure about the peanut butter and basil. That one I may have to pass on. I have a question. I first came across your blog because of your scrapbook room mainly the paper storage. I notice you don’t blog at all about scrapbooking except for fonts. Do you still do any scrapbooking. Just curious. Thanks, Tina
Hi Amanda!
My boyfriend and I have an addiction to peanut butter and banana, too! Here is an absolute must have recipe for peanut butter banana bread.

I made this for Christmas this year and it didn’t last but 10 minutes.
ENJOY :)
Hi Amanda,
I have followed your blog for a little while and have an e-mail subscription. I have a q1uestion for you regarding your e-mail feed. I searched through your blog tutorials but could find the answer to my question so thought I’d post it here. I totally understand if you can’t respond but just thought I’d try. :-) I have a blog that I keep mostly for my family that lives away. I have an e-mail subscription so my family can sign up and get updates when I post them. I’d love to have a link at the bottom of the e-mail they get that takes them to the comments section so they can easily leave comments. I notice you have it on your e-mail feed so I’m hoping you can give me some guidance on how to set it up. I am pretty clueless regarding blog design but I can follow directions pretty well! :-) Thanks for any help you can give me!
Those look so good & would make a wonderful gift! I’m going to look them up!
Oh. My. Yum. These look incredible! And what a nice gift from the hubby! I think the white chocolate pretzel peanut butter sounds amazing! I’ll have to remember to order that one! :)
Wow! Those sound wonderful. I love peanut butter so much!
Great photographs!
Just placed my order. Can’t wait to try them all. They also have a puppy set for dogs that I just had to get my little mutts.
OMG – stop it – I can’t bear it! Those spreads are the most incredible things I have ever seen. How brilliant someone thought to make them. What a great gift!
I had no idea my favorite food group could come in so many different shades! (Yes, I believe pb is a class of it’s own, I absolutely love it!) Thanks for sharing. I think these would make great ‘thinking of you gifts’ for your fellow peanut butter lover in your life.

Those are some really different flavors but they all sound fantastic!
Kind of makes me want to lick the screen!
Oh my gosh. Just made an account with Spread, The Restaurant, and ordered 5 for starters. I’m thinking I will do Valentine goodies for my kids from here. I’ll have to hide our order when it comes though as my husband will eat them all in one day! LOVE getting your emails with so many great ideas :)
Amanda, I don’t know how you stay soooooo thin! I manage to gain weight just by reading your blog and devouring the wonderful pictures!
These all sound SO tasty! I am sure you are happy that the “kids” got their own peanut butter stash for Christmas as well – now you don’t have to worry about sharing this goodness with them!
Reminds me of the flavors of Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams in Columbus, Ohio. She is also good at pairing herbal with traditional ice cream flavors. I love her wild berry lavender and queen city cayenne. I think I would like to try the almond blends from Spread, but I have a daughter-in-law that would love the peanut butter blends and the immense variety. Thank you for the tip!
Those look incredible! I will have to check out the website…
I’m betting you won’t be sharing these with Howie & Miley!
Oh man my mouth is watering! You have no idea how bad I want to run over there and buy them out!! ha
Oh. My. Yum!!! These will have to be tried! The funny thing is, I didn’t love peanut butter as a kid but the older I get, the more I love it!
Oh NO….this one could be deadly for me… I LOVE peanut butter… Guess I’d better go check out that website NOW!!
I am sitting here looking at the many pictures of Spread. And just smiling to myself. I love that you take delight in such things.
Those SPREADS look delicious! They would go SO well with my new-found love for creating unbelievable PBJs: flavored creamed honey. Our local beekeeping place, Copoco’s (stands for Colorado Pollination Company), offers blueberry, raspberry, cinnamon and many more flavors ~ including CHOCOLATE ~ that smooth on like peanut butter, and make the creamiest, most mouth-watering PBJs ever! Even better, the honey NEVER crystalizes!
Here’s the link (ignore all the misspellings on the page ~ they do honey, not words!): http://copocoshoney.com/oscommerce2/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_23&products_id=30
AHHHmazing. Holy cow, you have a good man. Just think of all the things you could bake after adding that deliciousness. I’m intrigued by the elvis pb…hmmmm.
I bet you licked every spoon!
It all looks so scruptious!!! Love anything peanut butter! It is beyond me how you don’t weigh 500 lbs with all the eatin goin on!
Those look incredible!!! I want some!
I Am nominating you for the Versatile bloggers award. Details are on my blog http://www.craftcrazedsupermum.com/?p=413 :)
As I finish my nightly dessert of a spoonful of peanut butter with chocolate chips, I am drooling at this post!! So many peanut butters….so little time :) Good husband!
ok.so.very.yum!
Amazing. Never been so hungry for peanut butter before…never would have thought about putting bacon bits in peanut butter, but it looks good too.
I wish I could smell it thru my computer screen! They all look wonderful & even better since they use organic ingredients!
I wish I liked Peanut Butter :-(
Wow! Who would have thought about all that variety in a peanut spread! And organic to boot! Yum, now I’m hungry again!
These are incredible looking.I am not sure which ones I would choose first! Thanks for the link to their store. When we are in San Diego we will definitely have to stop by there.
oh my goodness, i WANT the white choc pretzel one and the cinnamon one!! they sound DElicious.
this would be a great giveaway for you blog hinthint;)
These sound amazing! I had a serious love affair with peanut butter until I was recently diagnosed with a nut allergy. Seriously? Ugh! I hope those who can enjoy do!
Seriously….rose salted basil peanut butter!!! I can’t stop thinking about how yummy that would be….maybe even as the base for a peanut sauce over pasta …. I am a new reader to your blog and you got me at peanut butter :)
Hummm…I about live on peanut butter…mother hubbards cuboard is getting bear…this would be a wounderful change….
Okay Amanda, I just ordered 3 jars…. can’t wait to get them.. I’ll let ya know how I like it.. (like there’s any doubt – ha ha) I ordered the Butterscotch Toffee, Dark Chocolate Infused with Pretzels Peanut Spread and the Milk Chocolate Peanut Spread…. OH MY – I just can NOT wait… Thanks a bunch!!!!!
If I remember correctly I think Tyler Florence talked about this on an episode of The Best Thing I Ever Ate…
What a GREAT gift!!!
I saw a thing about them on Food Network as well. The owners seems like funny people and they showed how the peanut butter cup one was made. Looks amazing!
