Peanut Butter Chips
Creamy peanut butter flavor for cookies and trail mix without the mess of spreading.
What it is
Peanut butter chips are small, sweet morsels made from peanut butter, sugar, and stabilizers. They're shaped like chocolate chips but deliver the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter instead of cocoa.
Flavor and texture
Sweet and creamy with a pronounced peanut butter taste. They have a smooth, slightly waxy texture that melts pleasantly on the tongue when heated.
Best uses
Perfect for chocolate chip cookies (use instead of or alongside chocolate chips), peanut butter blondies, muffins, pancakes, trail mix, or melted down for drizzling over desserts.
Storage & freshness
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry pantry away from heat sources.

Durations are for best quality. Safe to consume longer if no spoilage signs present.
Contains oils that can turn rancid in heat and light; may develop white bloom (fat bloom) which is harmless but affects appearance.
Cooking tip
Add peanut butter chips to baked goods during the last few minutes of mixing to prevent them from breaking apart and creating streaks in your batter.
Interesting note
Unlike chocolate chips, peanut butter chips were specifically invented for baking and didn't exist as a standalone confection first - they were created in the 1970s to meet home bakers' demand for peanut butter flavor in chip form.
