Bites"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Skippy<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get one thing straight. Skippy\u2019s Graham Cracker P.B. Bites aren\u2019t \u201cbites.\u201d<\/p>\n

They\u2019re balls.<\/p>\n

Which is fine, because the country is in love with balls right now. You\u2019ve got Pokemon Go, baseball season, Powerball, and the Olympics crowding the scene, but Skippy\u2019s Graham Cracker P.B. Bites are what you should be focusing on.<\/p>\n

Skippy introduced their P.B. Bites line about a year ago with Double Peanut Butter and Pretzel varieties, and they\u2019ve proven to be a hit with the public. I\u2019d never noticed the P.B. Bites previously because choosy reviewers like me choose Jif, but for TIB I decided to give it a shot and picked up a pack of their new Graham Cracker variety.<\/p>\n

The P.B. Bites come in small cup-holder sized containers, because I assume Skippy thought people might take a swill of these during the morning commute. While I advise against that (due to the legal threat of causing something similar to a Pokemon Go-induced car accident), the peanut butter poppers are certainly portable and are easy to take to work or school.<\/p>\n

Upon opening the package, I was hit with a strong wave of peanut butter scent. The smell is of a nicely roasted peanut butter, and gave off none of the artificial notes you may typically find in the peanut butter candy at the bottom of your Halloween spoils. <\/p>\n

\"Skippy<\/a><\/p>\n

The P.B. Bites glisten in the light (note to self: make Mom a peanut butter diamond necklace for Christmas), and that sheen is indicative of the oily nature of the balls. Since the bites\u2019 exteriors are coated in peanut butter, they\u2019re soft and tacky to the touch and can only be handled for a few moments before eating (lest you want to have a real big mess on your hands). Thankfully though, the bites aren\u2019t sticky, so you\u2019ll be able to pop a few before getting club hand.<\/p>\n

While you may expect the P.B. Bites have a little bit of chew to them, this is furthest from the case. The soft peanut butter exterior of the balls melts away to reveal a small, crunchy graham cracker center. The peanut butter tastes surprisingly more natural than what you typically expect from a jar of Skippy, with a deep peanut flavor. And while peanut butter from the jar has a tendency to collect on the roof of your mouth, I am pleased to share that Skippy\u2019s P.B. Bites do no such thing. Glass of milk be gone!<\/p>\n

\"Skippy<\/a><\/p>\n

Regrettably, while the Bites\u2019 crunch is satisfying, the tiny graham cracker center lacks any discernible flavor and is overwhelmed by the peanut butter. This makes sense, because I can imagine if I covered myself in peanut butter and ate myself, I\u2019d be incredibly delicious. And while the bites may not provide any graham cracker flavor, you\u2019ll find yourself not caring because the rest of the bite is just so damn good.<\/p>\n

Overall, with their natural flavor and pleasing crunch, Skippy\u2019s Graham Cracker P.B. Bites are a pleasant snack that any peanut butter connoisseur would appreciate. Just don\u2019t try to throw one at a Charizard.<\/p>\n
