It's National Peanut Butter Lovers Day?

Can you believe we are already in March ?

One day is not enough to recognize the many contributions of the beloved Peanut Butter.

According to nationaldaycalendar.com, "the slang term for peanut butter in World War II was "monkey butter."

A monkey visited the lab at Kellogg's one day and dipped his banana in a jar of peanut butter, and he's been ape over the combination ever since. Actually, banana slices with peanut butter sandwiched between them and dipped in chocolate make a terrific snack.

Peanut butter and bananas were a combination even fit for a king. Elvis Presley loved a peanut butter and banana sandwich or two.

Then peanut butter got its passport and traveled the world. It paired up with some shrimp and got a little saucy. The result is a Thai peanut butter shrimp that is so yummy it had to be true love.

Things heated up a little when peanut butter jumped into the stew pot to sweat it out with a spring chick seasoned with some cayenne. African Chicken Peanut Stew?tastes better than ever.

One of the best times peanut butter has ever had is with marshmallows. Fudge enjoys a satisfying dessert status to be envied."

Here's some additional nutty fun facts :

• It takes about 540 peanuts to make a 12-ounce jar of peanut butter.
• C.H. Sumner first sold peanut butter in the United States at the Universal Exposition in St. Louis.? He sold $705.11 of the “new treat” at his concession stand.
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup was introduced to America in 1928.
