VELVET PEANUT BUTTER * SOMETHING YUMMY

Last week I satisfied my craving for peanut butter by buying Whole Foods Creamy Peanut Butter. My favorite peanut butter is Velvet, and I was about to write that Velvet, a Detroit peanut butter has been off the shelves for 15 years, and I've been substituting Reeses Peanut Butter ever since, except Reeses is gone from the shelves now although the Reeces website says it's supposed to be there, when I googled Velvet, and found that it's back! Apparently a native Detroiter has started manufacturing it and distributing it in Detroit markets during the past 8 months. I love Velvet Peanut Butter. I even have an original glass jar: Unlike other peanut butters, Velvet is fresh, pure and delicious.
There is nothing like a spoonful of Velvet dipped in chocolate chips, spread on a banana and then passed through a bath of Sanders Hot Fudge Topping, or a Velvet Peanut Butter and Mrs. Owens Strawberry Jam on fresh Wonder Bread sandwich with Fritos. There hasn't been chocolate in my house for a couple of weeks, now, and the fast finally ended today at Walgreens where I purchased a bag of plain and a bag of peanut butter M&Ms. I came home, and got myself a nice spoonful of Whole Foods Peanut Butter (I won't bother showing you the really really boring label and plastic jar), and prepared a little custard cup of M&Ms with the blue ones removed (pre-eaten by me) because there is no excuse for blue M&Ms. How to ruin a good candy. And I dipped my spoonful of peanut butter into those M&Ms and satisfied the monster. Looks really good, huh?

Hey, Velvet Peanut Butter is back!

Are you interested in selling this jar? If not, could you PLEASE post more pictures. I'm interested in pictures of the entire jar, the label itself, the lid and the markings on bottom. I have a Velvet Peanut Butter jar blog and am attempting to document as many jars as possible.

Hi, I'd be happy to give you more photos of this jar. At this point I don't want to sell it - which is ridiculous since I'm trying to downsize. I'll try to post them in the next few days - if not here, I'll put them on Pinterest. Is your blog the Boz one?

Yes, Boz is mine but I hardly update it any more. Plus, I decided that I needed a specialized blog for Velvet and created one:

Which includes the above post on your jar that I'll have to update when you take your pictures.

I probably shouldn't tempt you with a trade but if you change your mind I can get you some jars of Velvet (plastic and full of fresh, pure and delicious peanut butter) since it's readily available in the Detroit area. :)
