We tested 11 different peanut butter brands to find the best one.

For many, peanut butter brings back memories of the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. In the past, your choices were limited to smooth or crunchy, but today the peanut butter aisle is much more diverse. There are two main types: natural, which typically only includes peanuts and salt, and regular, which may contain added oils, sugar, and other ingredients.
With so many options available, we asked you to vote for your favorite peanut butter brands. From the top 12 picks in our Community Choice Awards, we put them to the test to see which one comes out on top!
Testing Methodology
Given how loyal people are to their peanut butter choices, we conducted a blind taste test, ensuring no one knew which brand they were trying. We sampled the peanut butters plain on a spoon, rinsing with water between each brand to fully experience their flavors, texture, and spreadability. Tasters rated them based on these qualities.
Best Regular Peanut Butter: Jif Creamy

A spoonful of Jif Creamy instantly brought tasters back to their childhood, though only one person still buys it regularly. Thanks to its hydrogenated oils, this peanut butter was the smoothest and creamiest of the bunch, spreading effortlessly on even the softest bread. Among the regular peanut butters, Jif had the most pronounced roasted flavor, giving it a rich, nutty taste.
Best Natural Crunchy Peanut Butter: Teddie Super Chunky Peanut Butter

Living in the Northeast, where Teddie is the peanut butter of choice, many tasters had already chosen it before the blind tasting began. To their credit, Teddie held strong as the favorite. Its rich roasted peanut flavor, perfect balance of salt, and just-right chunky texture earned top marks. With the largest and ideal-sized chunks, Teddie Super Chunky is the go-to for peanut butter crunch enthusiasts.
Best Natural Creamy Peanut Butter: Kirkland Organic Creamy Peanut Butter

Not only is Kirkland Signature Peanut Butter one of the most affordable options, it's also our top pick for organic peanut butter. Made with just peanuts and salt, it has minimal oil separation, making it perfect for quick peanut butter sandwiches. Testers found the peanut flavor bold yet balanced, offering a Goldilocks-like perfection in peanut butter taste.
Best Unsalted Peanut Butter: Justin's Peanut Butter

Justin's Peanut Butter is the lowest in sodium, with only 25mg per 2-tablespoon serving, aside from the natural sodium in peanuts. Its smooth, creamy texture comes from a bit of palm oil, which also makes it a convenient no-stir option. Plus, it's available in handy squeeze pouches, making it the perfect portable snack to pair with an apple or banana for a quick, healthy bite on the go!
