Powdered Peanut Butter?

I saw this stuff in the local outdoor shop, and being the curious creature that I am, I had to buy some. I thought it would taste horrid, but it's actually just like regular peanut butter and I've found it to be more versatile (as it mixes more readily with other things). It's also lighter than a similar sized jar of pre-mixed peanut butter, making it easier to pack/hike with.

Normally I'm not big on odd survival/hiking foods, preferring to stick with more traditional foods.....but I really like this one.

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm..."

If it's in powdered form, it should make a darned nice thickening agent. I've used regular peanut butter before for that, and it takes a while to activate, but eventually it comes around.

I have a great recipe for cookies with PB and Special K cereal. It is really hard to mix by hand, thanks in part to the thickness of the PB. I may have to look for some of this stuff and try it, might be a lot easier on the old shoulder...

Once again, Hmmm....

They sucked all the fat out. That is what makes PB such a great survival food in the first place. I'd use it as a thickener and protein source in the kitchen, but I don't see it in my pack.

On spot, ironraven.

Also, nuts and grains that have been milled lose their nutrients faster than if kept whole.

Hmm, so without the oils, is powdered peanut butter low-fat?

The Reeces Pieces factoid is interesting, considering that I love them.

Damn you OBG. Now I have a craving for some kind of breakfast bar with Special K and PB

Ya want my recipe???

I´d like to have it. Thanks in advance for sharing.

Special K Cookies
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup Karo white syrup
Bring the above to a boil, then add:
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoons vanilla
While waiting for the syrup to boil, mix together:
1 1/2 cup plain peanut butter
5 cups Special K cereal
Pour the syrup mixture over the PB and cereal, mix the
whole mess together. Mix fast, the more it cools the harder
it is to stir.
Drop dollops of mix onto waxed paper, let cool.
Enjoy.

Reading that, I'm thinking probably melt the PB first. And becuase I like salty stuff, maybe a quarter teaspoon of unsalt (potassium chlorate).
