Kirkland Peanut Butter Pretzels
These are the Champagne of peanut butter pretzels. These nuggets are big and filled with creamy, smooth, high-quality peanut butter. Yes, you have to buy a giant tub. But believe us, you’ll go through them.

Chocolate ice cream surrounding a peanut butter core, all encased in chocolate and sprinkled with peanuts? Hell yeah. This is the kind of cone you eat by yourself so you don’t have to worry about your inevitable chocolate mustache.
Reese’s Take 5
As a peanut butter lover, I believe this is the perfect candy bar. You get peanut butter, chocolate, peanuts, caramel, and pretzels, all in one chunky hunk of a candy bar. I really don’t know why companies bother putting out new candy bars when the platonic ideal already exists.
Back to Nature Peanut Butter Creme Cookies
These are cookies you can technically classify as snacks. They’re sweet and salty, buttery and crumbly, and shockingly vegan. They are peanut butter cookies that really put the emphasis on the peanut butter, perfect for the holy day of National Peanut Butter Day.
