November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month, so to celebrate we've dug up 15 extreme peanut butter flavors that sound too good to be true — but are true anyway. If your mouth doesn't water over at least one of these, then seek help because there's something very wrong.
We recommend trying these peanut butter variants only if you're a daring foodie who takes your peanut butter love very seriously. Peanut butter amateurs need not apply.
All prices listed are for products only and do not include shipping or tax.
Maple Bacon Peanut Butter
As everyone knows, there is no food that can't be made better with bacon. The folks at Bettern'n Peanut Butter know this too, which is why they created a peanut butter with bacon in it, and they put in a little maple for good measure.
16 oz. jar: $5.13
Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter
Wild Friends concocts this holy union of peanut butter, cinnamon and raisins, and they use all-natural ingredients to do it. That means there's no gluten and no dairy.
16 oz. jar: $6.99
Spicy Peanut Butter
The official name of this fiery peanut butter is "The Heat Is On." (And now that song is stuck in my head.) That name tells you all you need to know, doesn't it? It's from the famous Peanut Butter & Co. in New York City.
16 oz. jar: $6.00
Crème Brûlée Almond Butter
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. Squirrel Brand came up with this sinfully delicious fusion of almond butter and crème brûlée in what we have to assume was some sort of kiln with dark incantations chanted in unison.
12 oz. jar: $12.99
Pumpkin Butter
This one foregoes the peanuts altogether in favor of a similar texture that uses real pumpkins as part of a time-honored, slow-cooked recipe. Trader Joe's sells this one — but only in their retail stores. We suggest calling ahead to check availability.
10 oz. jar: $2.29 (in stores only)
Honey Pretzel Peanut Butter
Wild Friends claims this sweet-and-salty creation is just as good eaten by the spoonful as it is spread on the snack of your choice.
16 oz. jar: $6.99
White Chocolate Peanut Butter
This blissful mixture from Vermont Peanut Butter called "Avalanche" features dry roasted peanuts mixed with white chocolate bits. Yes, please.
16 oz. jar: $6.95
A fun twist on this idea comes from Naturally Nutty, a company that offers something similar but with coconut added in. It sells for $5.65 for an 8 oz. jar.
Cookie Dough Peanut Butter
PB Crave's oh-so-sweet recipe for "Cookie Nookie" includes peanut butter, cookie dough flavor, chocolate chips and a dash of wild honey. There's no bad there. The only downside is that it's only sold in packs of 6 or in variety packs with 3 other PB Crave flavors.
16 oz. jar in 6-pack or variety pack: $17.47 - $34.94
Trail Mix Peanut Butter
A peanut butter/almond butter blend that Vermont Peanut Butter describes as "spreadable trail mix." Ingredients include cranberries, honey, flax, roasted almonds and peanuts.
16 oz. jar: $8.95
Sesame Cranberry Peanut Butter
Wild Friends describes this one as "a little sweet, a little salty, and completely delicious." Plus, cranberries are loaded with anti-oxidants, so with the sesame as well you can be assured that you're putting very healthy stuff in your body.
16 oz. jar: $6.99
Butter Toffee Peanut Butter
Here's one from Naturally Nutty that the kids will love. All organic ingredients go into it, and it's gluten-free. Also comes in Chocolate Butter Toffee and Cherry Butter Toffee variants.
8 oz. jar: $5.65
Tropical Peanut Butter
No, it's not mixed with mangos or papayas or anything like that. This PB Crave recipe combines peanuts, cocoa, bananas and wild honey into a jar labeled "CoCo Bananas."
16 oz. jar in 3-pack, 6-pack, or variety pack: $17.47 - $34.94
Black Truffle Almond Butter
Squirrel Brand (makers of the Crème Brûlée mentioned above) is back again, this time with a decadent almond butter that's made with "aromatic black summer truffles hand-harvested in Northern Italy and mixed with sea salt." Yowza.
12 oz. jar: $12.99
Chocolate Cherry Peanut Butter
Naturally Nutty's dried cherries and semi-sweet chocolate combo will satisfy that sweet tooth without the guilt, thanks to its all-natural ingredients.
8 oz. jar: $5.65
