Peanut Butter Crumb Cake

Ciao everyone!

So, who doesn't like peanut butter??

I've heard of or met who didn't like it were also deathly allergic. This I could understand as a reason for the treason..

But to be honest, those I've met who just didn't like it... it took me a few seconds to grasp that.

Peanut butter is literally a staple food item in my house. Like a day that there is not peanut butter is strange. And there's probably an understood reason why, and a date on the calendar for when to go to the store and get peanuts to grind into a happy frenzy:)

Anyways, if you are a pb fanatic, then you're probably aware of the million+ ways there are to enjoy the joy:)

Here is one more to add to your collection:
