Has anyone else had the "Milky Way in a jar"? It's like nutella with a cream twist. Sooo good on blini. For awhile I was able to get it here (Upstate NY) but haven't been able to in the past year. 
I had it for the first time in Russia, but I think it originated in Switz.(?)
<i>BTW- in Russia, they have a "Snickers" version, too...</i>
But I have a MAJOR sweet tooth...

Oddly enough, my husband just discovered nutella - not sure how he got through life up to this point without tasting it! Now of course, he's buying all the time. I, on the other hand, don't like to have it in the house because it's just toooo good.
Also love peanut butter as well. Each has its own merits.

Peanut butter. (And, to echo St. Cirq, Nutella crepes)
Warm peanut butter cookies with the fork tine prints on top - just like my mom used to make. And, she also used to give us apple slices with a little scoop of crunchy peanut butter on top. Delicious.

Nutella, nutella, nutella.
Of course the "white" filbert is much better then the "dark-brown" chocolatty type, and I don't know of any other,
BUT it's always Nutella over Peanut Butter.
Actually, any berry preserves over Yucky Peanut Butter which sticks to your mouth.

Or with chocolate.

Nutella or peanut butter?
You might as well ask rubies or sapphires?
George Clooney or Antonio Bandaras?
Madame Butterfly or La Boheme?
Audrey Hepburn or Katherine Hepburn?
Superman or Batman?
Mark Knophler or Ry Cooder?
the moon or the stars?
I want it all, baby!

Nutella (or even better, Spanish version of Nutella, is called Nocilla). The white ones are the same, the chocolate one has a bigger quantity of chocolate and it's a strong chocolate flavour than nutella.
I don't like peanut butter.

Culinary arts reached its apogee with Nutella. Empty calories? Well, yeah.
The lowly peanut butter was once described to me by my cardiologist as "clogged arteries on a sandwich." Disgusting!

Peanutbutter, creamy not chunky.
1 cup of pb
1 cup of karo syrup
1 cup of sugar
melt above in micro for 1 minute or so and mix with 8 cups of special k.
top with 1/2 bag melted butterscotch chips, and 1/2 bag melted choc chips.
PB, definitely!

I like them both nutella and peanut butter, although I really love peanut butter on a warm slice of lightly butttered toast or on a bagel.
Every once in a while (I mean years here), I just have to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and then dip it on both sides in beaten egg and cook on both sides just as you would for French toast. It is really good. The jelly gets warmed and syrupy and the peanut butter gets warmed and creamy. As I said, I will have the taste for it once in a great while. Last time I had one must have been at least 5 or 6 years ago!

You should seek out another cardiologist as nut eating can actually lower the risk of heart disease. Of course, you'll want to eat natural peanut butter - not the hydrogenated oil type. And, sadly, that's why I gave up eating Nutella as it contains hydrogentated oil which truly is bad for your heart.
