Even if your kids don't have peanut allergies, you will still need to be cautious of peanuts if your children are around others that do have peanut allergies (play-dates , school, parks, etc).   i heard about Sunbutter from a website that recommends foods without peanuts.  When my daughters started preschool, I learned that one of her classmates has a peanut allergy and so when the kids would go on field trips and would need to pack a non-perishables lunch, I could only think of peanut butter and jelly.  After some research, I discovered Sunbutter.  Discovering it was one thing, tasting it, i thought it would be something else.  I have to admit, it tastes summarily to peanut butter, but  a lighter nut..actually...seed taste.  My kids and I love it on bread, toast, crackers, bagels and celery.  My husband, Mr "I only like Jiffy creamy peanut butter", likes it too.  I feel good about having an alternative for my daughter to take to school and not have to worry about send another kid to the hospital.

My twin daughters both have a peanut allergy.  We, unfortunately, found out the hard way by giving them peanut butter sandwiches.  I needed something that could function like peanut butter but without the allergen component.  We searched for a while and tried many different products such as soy butter.  It was okay- not something I would select out of our fridge to eat.  My one daughter needed all the extra fat and protein she could get.  I ran across this sunbutter and I am absolutely content with it!  It is so smooth, creamy, great tasting, delicious, and best of all- completely serves and satisfies my need!!!   We can pack sunbutter sandwiches, use it on crackers, add it to ice cream, use it in baking, and best of all- it tastes similar to peanut butter (and looks like it too).  My husband actually opts to take sunbutter and jelly sandwiches to work periodically!  My daughter loves it!  And that is saying a lot!!!  Way to go!
