The jar that keeps showing up
Own-brand peanut butter is one of those things you try once on a tight week, then forget about because you assume the branded stuff is better. Honestly, that's not always true. Amazon's own crunchy peanut butter has been spotted doing the rounds on HotUKDeals with nearly a thousand community upvotes, which for a jar of peanut butter is, well, a lot.
At 750g, the value is straightforward. Spread it on toast at 7am, stir it into porridge, eat it off a spoon over the sink like a functioning adult. The crunch is proper, not the sad dusty kind you sometimes get where the nuts have basically given up. Texture holds together reasonably well, though if you leave it a while the oil does separate a bit. Give it a stir. You'll live.
Who it's for, who it isn't
If you're a Meridian purist or you're hunting for something with a single ingredient and a romantic backstory, this probably isn't your jar. The ingredients list is longer than the minimalist crowd would like.
But if you're a household that burns through peanut butter at pace, or you're making sauces, baking, or just want something reliable in the cupboard without spending proper money on it, this does the job well. Kids seem to love it, which is either a ringing endorsement or slightly suspicious depending on your outlook.
The 750g size is the sweet spot too. Not so big it feels like a commitment, big enough to actually be worth buying.
