Hi I’m from Germany and I recently discovered these different spreads other than peanut butter here that I found quite tasty.
One was a peanut butter chocolate spread from Reese’s who also makes my favorite candy Reese’s peanut butter cups.
And I found a chocolate cream that’s like Nutella but with crunchy pieces mixed in like the one in the image (tastes like Ovaltine powder or Whoppers candy and 55% of the ingredients is just sugar).
Nutella (/hazelnut spread) of course is very popular here but I rarely eat it. As a kid I used to love and be obsessed with this cookie butter from Lotus.
Other spreads I know would be Dulce de leche which is caramel flavored and popular in Latin America.
Is that something Americans would eat or does this sound very exotic/weird and they mostly stick to standard peanut butter?
Please note that most American peanut butter has a ton of sugar in it already.
Jif, Skippy, and Peter Pan all contain loads of sugar. And no American actually follows the serving size.
Most Americans I know will just take a heaping spoonful to lick as a snack
