Peanut butter is basically my favorite snack of all time. Peanut butter makes just about any food taste better and it's good in every form. There's just something about America's favorite nut that deserves to be recognized for its flexibility and great taste! In honor of National Peanut Butter Lover's Day occurring on March 1 and National Peanut Month, here are a few of my favorite peanut butter filled treats that I think everyone should try!
1. Inside-Out Peanut Butter Cups
I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one who remembers that these actually existed and were sold by Reese's for a time! Honestly, the only reason I even like these is because of the peanut butter filling, so these are definitely a dream come true.

2. Chocolate & Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa
It's still cold where I live, so this is the perfect treat for the end of the day topped with extra peanuts for that finishing touch.

3. Peanut Butter & Honey Balls
I'm already a fan of anything with peanut butter in it, but add a little honey and powdered milk and you've got the perfect snack. It's healthy too!

4. Three Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Literally all you need for these are an egg, sugar, and peanut butter. I know it sounds crazy, but the result is great!

5. Peanut Butter S'mores
This is a spin on the traditional s'more by adding a little peanut butter for extra flavor. If you're not a chocolate fan like me, you can just leave the chocolate out all together and they still taste great! Make these on the grill, in the oven, or in the microwave.

Bananas and peanut butter are a match made in heaven. Sandwiched and frozen, they make the perfect bite-sized snack!

7. Apple Peanut Butter Quesadillas
This is a heavenly combination of my two favorite things, quesadillas and peanut butter. It sounds crazy at first but you can't knock it 'til you try it! You can even add some cinnamon and sugar for an extra sweetness!
