3 Peanut Butter Desserts
The first peanut butter patent was issued in 1895, and Americans have been smitten with the stuff ever since. Creamy, delicious, and surprisingly nutritious (despite containing 180 to 210 calories per serving, peanut butter has two grams of appetite-suppressing fiber, and eight grams of protein, per serving, as well as being a rich source of potassium, antioxidants, magnesium, and several important vitamins), peanut butter is one of those rare and unusual foods that both tastes great and can help keep you healthy. As such, it’s no wonder that peanut butter has made its way into our hearts, our stomachs, and a number of our favorite treats.
