SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Choc Chip Swirl Pots

(Uses 6 Small Ramekins)

Ingredients

130g SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Choc Chip Swirl 

300ml fresh whipping cream

1 tablespoon sifted icing sugar

Half teaspoon vanilla extract

Extra 2 tablespoons SKIPPY® Choc Chip Swirl Peanut Butter to drizzle

Directions

Spoon the SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Choc Chip Swirl into a small bowl.

Pour the whipping cream into a medium sized mixing bowl and whisk the cream until it begins to thicken but is still somewhat loose. At this point, stir in the vanilla essence if you are using vanilla. (Why wouldn't you use vanilla?)

Using a fork gradually work a spoonful of the SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Choc Chip Swirl into the double cream until it's combined, repeat with the rest of the Peanut Butter until it's all blended. At this point, it should have the texture of a mousse.

Next, gently fold in the icing sugar.

Spoon the mixture into the ramekin dishes and level each one off.

Put the extra SKIPPY® Peanut Butter into a small bowl and blast for 10 seconds in a microwave on the lowest setting then drizzle on top of the mousse and then chill.

Peanut Butter whiskey liquor launched at Aldi

At a mere £12.99, clever Aldi shoppers can save 43% when compared against the alternative brand Sheep Dog.

It will be available in Aldi stores from 29th June. The latest addition to Aldi’s award-winning line-up offers a unique and joyful take on an Irish classic. 

Boasting the comforting and delicious taste of peanut butter with the complex flavours of a classic aged whiskey, this is a deliciously nutty tipple that is both smooth and also sweet.

Smart shoppers might spot similarities to the popular Peanut Butter Whiskey brand, Sheep Dog. However, with savings of up to 43%, whiskey fans will be running, not walking to Aldi to stock up on their new favourite tipple!

Incidentally if you have never tried any peanut butter whiskey, may I suggest that you nip into your nearest Aldi branch and buy a bottle or two? Incidentally, my favourite way of drinking this is served over ice and with a strong ginger beer, such as Old Jamaica.

Peanut Butter Milk Stouts

This is another of my Home Bargains beer purchases. These beers are brewed by the Tailgate Brewery of Nashville, Tennessee. https://www.tailgatebeer.com.

I love peanut butter. I particularly like peanut butter whiskey, but especially with properly hot Jamaican ginger beer. Not ginger beer, but ginger ale.

But on to the peanut butter milk stout, plain and with strawberry jelly/jam.

Peanut Butter milk stout. There was definitely a strong peanut butter aroma from the beer. And it did have a peanut butter like colouration.

There was a peanut butter taste plus a strong, malty taste and a somewhat bitter aftertaste.

The Peanut Butter and Strawberry milk stout had a similar colouration. It tasted very similar to the peanut butter milk stout, but there was also a slightly sweet undertone that I attributed to the strawberry jelly content. 

However, tin my opinion, the strawberry flavour was not strong enough to make any real headway through the stronger peanut butter flavour. If I were brewing this stout I'd certainly consider adding more strawberry jelly to the recipe because of this.

I'd have to point out that, although these beers are interesting and well worth seeking out, that they are not really to be considered as milk stouts, to be completely honest.

However, they are intriguing enough that I'll certainly be looking out for beers from Tailgate Brewery in the future.

From memory I think I paid about £1.49 a can.

Here's a good news story for dog lovers! Duerr's & Sons Ltd Rebrands Dog Lovers Favourite 'Peamutt Butter' and Secures Morrison's Win

Duerr's & Sons Ltd has secured a new listing in Morrison's stores for its newly rebranded popular pet treat 'Peamutt Butter'.

The new-look packaging will hit Morrison's shelves across the UK for the first time this month under an introductory promotional offer during March.

Ranking as the UK's number One peanut butter for dogs, the supermarket listing follows 12 months of growth for the pet product, with sales of Peamutt Butter up 63% on the previous year.

Manchester-based Duerr's & Sons Ltd believe the sales increase is driven by listings in Tesco, Sainsbury's, The Range and Jollyes in 2022, plus being available online available with sites such as Amazon

Pets at Home, which has stocked the product for seven years, has seen a 25% rise over the last year. And independent pet food retailers have also seen an increase of 23%, proving that in the current economic climate consumers are still keen to spend on their fur family members.

The product rebrand is the first of its kind since Peamutt Butter was brought to market in 2016 and is supported by investment in a new website, PR outreach and social media marketing.

Duerr's, currently the biggest producer and distributor of peanut butter in UK, has introduced a new-look character 'Peamutt' on-pack to boost brand recognition on marketing channels and on the shelf.

Sales and marketing director and 5th generation Duerr's & Sons Ltd, Richard Duerr, said: “The original idea came from our family dog's love of peanutt butter. As the biggest producer of peanut butter in the UK, it seemed a shame our pets were missing out, so we created a prototype.

“Seven years on, we're rebranding to drive growth and secure new listings in the mults, like our recent win with Morrison's. We have a new 'Peamutt' as a character for the brand ensuring the product is more noticeable on shelf and becomes more familiar with consumers across multiple channels."

He went on to say: “Even in a cost of living crisis trends show pet parents are still looking to indulge their dogs. Peamutt Butter is a good value for money, a largely affordable, treat that shoppers can grab in the supermarket while doing their own weekly shop. The rebrand is aimed at keeping the product front of mind and ensuring we remain the go-to for peanut butter for dogs.”

Peamutt Butter is an affordable treat for your pampered pooches across the UK. Designed as a snack for four-legged friends, it is packed full of protein and contains heart-healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin and vitamin E.

This spreadable, smooth peanut butter is designed to be used on dog toys and lick matts, as well as a training treat. Tapping into the ever booming 'fur baby' trend it can also be used as ingredient for doggy home-baking. Peamutt Butter is available in 340g jars– RRP £2.50.
