At the beginning of the school year, the kids get a list of their classmates. They also get a list of 'food allergies', and since they eat lunch in their classrooms it's important that some foods just not show up. At all.
While my kids don't have peanut allergies, inevitably there is someone who does, and our staple sandwich of peanut butter and honey which my kids eat at least three times a week during the summer - is forbidden!
Until now, that is.
With Barney Butter, I hope that my kids can have their 'peanut butter' and honey sandwiches without putting their airborne peanut allergic friends at risk for a bad reaction.
The samples I had were in packets, and like natural peanut butter, the oil and butter separate somewhat. They aren't supposed to (according to the label), but ours did. At the same time, the label does say to 'knead', which you don't have to do with regular peanut butter.
It was actually easier to knead it in the sample packet (by just 'squishing' it) than it would be in the jar, and my kids have firmly rejected the natural peanut butter in the past. So the sample worked well for us, but we will test it again when school starts. I have to see if 1) it's hard to re-mix in the jar and 2) if it separates in a few hours while the sandwich is in the lunchbox waiting to be eaten.
I REALLY hope it works for us in the fall, because it would be an easy fix!
Disclosure: I was sent a sample of Barney Butter. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
