Smooth Peanut Butter

Refrigeration can help prevent oil separation, but is not strictly necessary for unopened jars. Stir well after opening, as oil separation is natural.

Stir thoroughly before use, especially if oil has separated.

Warm peanut butter slightly before adding to sauces for smoother incorporation.

Use in place of butter or oil in some baking recipes for added flavor and moisture.

Jelly or jam

Honey

Chocolate

Banana

Apple

Celery

Bread

Crackers

Soy sauce

Chili sauce

Not stirring well enough, leading to an oily or dry texture.

Assuming all peanut butters are the same; check ingredient lists for added sugars or oils.
