a review of WOW BUTTER and peter pan peanut butter





You know, they advertise wow butter as tasting just like peanut butter. I tried it several years ago when it was labeled as "WOW! Tastes Just Like Peanut Butter!" and once  again today. It tasted nothing like peanut butter then and it tastes nothing like peanut butter NOW. They should be sued for false advertising. all it tastes like is plain, ordinary, purely repulsive, makes me want to throw up SOY BUTTER! if you hate soy butter, don't buy this, if you don't like peanut butter, try almond butter. If you are allergic to nuts, and hate soy butter, I have no solution for you as of yet. this stuff makes my gag-reflex work overtime. It tastes terrible, no question.


On the other hand:



This stuff tastes great! It is one of the few peanut butters that actually taste like peanuts! That might be due to the fact that it is one of the few peanut butters to not contain high-fructose corn syrup. It also comes in nice, handy 6lb bulk canisters. It costs less than the store brand would if you bought it all at once (last time i checked it did) it also stays creamy, and does not gel up. Quite odd, considering how poor most of the store-bought peanut-butter's have tasted compared to what I usually eat.

  1. This is surprising to me. I work in an allergy office where we diagnose peanut allergies all the time. We tasted this stuff and thought it tasted almost EXACTLY like peanut butter. Another option for people who cannot have peanut butter would be SunButter. However, I personally would recommend the WOW butter way before the Sun Butter, as I thought it was delicious.

    1. ok, i'm going to amend this, it tastes EXACTLY like peanut butter if the following conditions are met: butter the bread or bread like substance you are applying this to, and 2, you must apply copious amounts of cream cheese before you apply the wow butter to it.

    2. ok, i'm sorry for that little bit there. it actually tastes pretty good as long as you don't expect it to taste like peanut butter. they should still be sued for false advertising seeing as it tastes nothing like peanut-butter.

  2. As a parent of a child with nut allergies this is a saviour. put it on buttered toast and its not far from most commercial peanut butters.
    Most are mainly oil and sugar (like this) or add jam and it does the job.
    I am a serious foodie and not just saying this (since I can and do eat both ...just not in the house near my kids)

    1. eh, you're not far from what i was saying. i've gotten it several times since the time i wrote this review to thin out my other nut-butters, but i've never eaten it straight up seeing as i sometimes forget it doesn't taste like peanut-butter. my main test i did when comparing Peter Pan Peanut-Butter and this was to put a bit on identical slices of bread, or to simply get two spoons and put peanut-butter on one and this on the other and rinse out with some purified water in-between. the difference almost made me gag. i've never really liked soy-butter but this at least tastes OK. to somebody like me who eats both regularly (along with almond and pecan-butters on occasion) i have to say this tastes nothing like any peanut-butter i've ever had, and i've had lots. but everybody's tastes are different and i guess we all have had different kinds of peanut-butter to compare it to.
