Just had to mention that I also once thought Smucker’s natural peanut butter was the best — until I found Algood’s! Might be a regional brand here in the Midwest. The label says “Algood Old Fashioned Peanut Butter”, 18 oz plastic jar, so much oil separates (just peanuts and salt) that I pour off half and save in the refrigerator to use in cooking as excellent peanut oil before stirring the rest in. It’s not only tastier even than Smuckers – it’s a lot cheaper! So if you only-peanuts peanut butter lovers ever get a chance to try it, go for it. The Algood company is based in Kentucky and they even say that they themselves (gasp!) make it.

Oh, yes, you can always mix peanut butter with cocoa powder or bits of chocolate candy, or spread it thickly over any chocolate bar. That makes this on topic, yes?
