Spicy Apple: Heat a little unsweetend applesauce, then remove from heat. Stir in twice as much peanut butter as applesauce and add a dash of apple pie spice.
Chocolate Peanut: Stir in a little sugar-free chocolate syrup and a sprinkling of chopped peanuts.
Maple Cream: Combine peanut butter with an equal amount of softstyle fat-free/low fat cream cheese. Stir in enough sugar-free maple syrup to soften.
Orange Ginger: Blend in a little grated gingerroot and finely shreded orange peel. Spread on raisin bread or toss with hot brown rice or whole wheat pasta.
