[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Peanut butter, the American lunchbox staple, has officially hit the food trends market. You can buy it laced with all sorts of flavours, from vanilla and cinnamon to coconut oil and maple syrup (delicious spread on celery straight from the jar, honestly).

This recipe is so quick and easy that you\u2019ll be a master after your first batch.<\/p>\n

Cooking Tip:<\/strong>
