Kraft Peanut Butter Truck Hits Town

The Kraft Peanut Butter Truck #KraftPBTruck  is travelling across Canada this summer and will be in Vancouver on July 1, 2012 at Canada Place.  Check out where the truck is stopping next at www.spreadthefeeling.ca or on the Kraft Peanut Butter Facebook page at www.facebook.com/kraftpeanutbutter

Kraft sent some samples of PB S’More, PB Belgian Waffle, PB Thai Dip with Veggies, PB & Pretzels and two local consumer creations, PB + Jam Delight, Tropical Peanut Sensation, to me along with my request, Noodles with PB Sauce and I had a rather peanut buttery week!

Are you a peanut butter lover?  I think I’ll be cooking up some more Asian-peanut noodles over the weekend.
