Big Spoon Roasters Cowgirl Cookie Peanut Butter

Rating: 9/10

• 🥜 Category: Peanut, Smooth/Crunchy, Flavoured
• Country of origin: USA
• Serving suggestion: Anything that works with coconut and chocolate - pictured is my Greek yoghurt overnight oats, home-squeezed mango puree, banana coins, shredded coconut, A-grade cinnamon with a huge dollop of Cowgirl Cookie PB; or for moments where you care not for decorum, straight out of the jar with a big spoon (ha ha)

This is not a straight nut butter: it includes granola so is more a nut/granola butter (I know granola butter is more of a concept in the US, definitely rarer to find local to me) so my blog's categorisation is slightly wrong. For all intents and purposes though I will rate it as a novelty/flavoured peanut butter. I have also seen a rise on social media recently of nut butters with mix-ins (we love to see it) which I have decided will fall in the same tag.

This is incredible - so very moreish. In the words of an influencer recording a video with their hand behind the jar to show the label to the camera, I am obsessed.

The ingredients list: peanuts, pan-roasted pecans, granola, coconut nectar and maple syrup, dark chocolate chips (sourced from French Broad Chocolate of Asheville NC), vanilla and sea salt. It seems like it would be too much, but they have the flavour balance on point. Close your eyes and you can taste all the notes. My one very tiny textural fault is that because of the relative size of the pecans, you might get a spoonful where you are missing one.

It's a novelty product - I'm not going to pretend for one second that I care about versatility here. But it's a limited edition jar - you enjoy your delicious treat made even more special by its transience. If you can get your hands on it, buy for a sweet and salty dessert-masquerading-as-breakfast dollop on your morning Greek yogurt bowl, or on your toast, or even as a dessert topper (if I were more of an ice cream person, I would mix this through a really good vanilla ice cream or coconut sorbet and add a swirl of passionfruit - yum).

Or just spoon it straight out of the jar - I quite literally cannot judge 😉
