Well it seems that nctry Ben has been holding out on us. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ben a bit via PM.

He sent me this link and I sure am going to try this stuff out. Looks very interesting. Powdered peanut butter and powdered peanut butter with chocolate as well as peanut oil. Kudos to Ben.

I wonder how the chocolate variety would be added to a cup of coffee? Could be interesting....

Oooh thanks!  This is one of the single heaviest items in my food bag. 

Crap, only shipping via UPS.
$15 for the product.
$15 for the shipping.
$30 for the brokerage fees UPS always presents once the product crosses the border.

I could justify spending $30 for $15 worth of pb.

Why does anyone use UPS for international shipping?  Never had a good experience.  Every time they ransom my property to me in the guise of broker fees.

Too bad, I would have liked to try this.  Looks like it knocks 2/3 of the weight off.

Hey, come on... I only got the stuff Friday...  Grin I like it a lot. And they claim anyway 85% less Calories and Fat. Should have gotten one thing with chocolate to try but didn't. Maybe Mastertangler will share some with me in the WCPP in August...  Wink

Maybe we can bring some through the border and get it to ya. I'll be coming through in June.

Thans Ben!  If you're passing through Toronto I'd try to arrange to do the trade.
I do have a query for Bell on USPS vs. UPS.  Not sure why anyone uses UPS for international.  Just my UPS rant.  USPS never has hidden charges.   Wink

I'm intrigued!  However it sounds like it could either be fantastic or absolutely horrible.  How close is this stuff to the taste and consistency of real peanutbutter?  Honest opinion, Ben, side by side, how does this stuff stack up?

Uh, I feel like I'm being put on the spot here...  Grin But I really think it's a great find for me. The consistancy is very good. You do want to eat it soon after mixing... and cleaning up after promply as it drys somewhat fast. But very water soluble. Taste is real good... but, not a burnt taste... more of a "can tell it was heated up" taste like in a dehydrating proccess. Is it perfect? I think it's pretty close. I just kick myself for not getting at least one jar with the chocolate. Oh, and a good protien source. Ya got to try it.

Were you going to be at Canoecopia? I should bring some there... Maybe they'd send me some to give samples with.  Wink
