So apparently November is Peanut Butter Lovers Month.

According to this website run by peanut farmers, Peanut Butter Lovers Month began in 1995, marking the 100^th anniversary of the first peanut butter patent.

The National Peanut Board states 94% of households in the United States consume peanut butter, and Americans consume more than 1.5 billion pounds of peanut butter and peanut products every year.

Unless you have a serious peanut allergy, it’s likely you help make up these statistics. Your go-to snack may be a package of peanut butter crackers, or you may occasionally eat a spoonful of peanut butter for dinner because you’re a broke college kid and can’t afford real food. Either way, peanut butter has likely positioned itself in your diet.

Here are a few ways to shake up your use of peanut butter for the month-long Peanut Butter Lovers celebration.
