For me it would be Laura Scudder or Smuckers natural chunky peanut butter.
Skippy Super Chunk would be a runnerup.

Having said that, you'll probably get as many answers as there are people
here. <g>

Shoots, I haven't had peanut butter since I was in high school - over 20
years ago.

The best peanut butter isn't. It's cashew butter. Homemade in the
food processor, though it does take a little while. Pair with homemade
strawberry freezer jam or seedless black raspberry preserves.

Whadja hafta go bring up the subject for? Now I gotta get a container
of cashew butter from the freezer and make one.......

Skippy super chunk. Been eating is for close to 60 years.

Anything "natural", preferably chunky with no aflatoxin.

go down to the grocery store and look at the shelf holding the jars of
Peanut Butter. Three or four manufacturers seem to dominate the
market. I have tasted other brands but none of them compare with my
favorite which is a top name brand that only "choosy mother's choose"!

by the way, I want to share a method of making peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches that I learned from my ex-wife...and my current wife just
loves the way I make these! You just take a fork and stir together the
peanut butter and grape jelly blending it well...then spread it on the
bread. Yum!

Skippy, maybe, but they haven't been making super chunk nearly that long.

Me neither -- but I've tried different brands of peanut butter over the
years and even food processored peanuts, but I'll only eat it once and not
try anymore until DH brings something new home; but recently Costco have
their Kirkland name on some organic peanut butter. (people who like chunky
wouldn't like this) Costco also has some multi-grain Milton's brand
crackers (no hydrogenated fat and delicious) and I must confess I have to
have for a snack now almost everyday a peanut butter and cracker afternoon
snack. Sometimes I will add a half-teaspoon of blue-berry jelly, yum, yum.

I have a quart of raw cashews in the freezer. Do you toast them before you
food-process?
Thanks,

Is peanut butter only sold by brand names in the US? Here, I would go
down to my local store and buy ground peanuts (either chunky or smooth)
and it's a damned sight better than any jar stuff as it has no added
sugar. All it is is peanuts, period.

Chunk has been around that long. Super chunk maybe 15 or 20 years?

There are about a half dozen major brand names. Skippy, Jiff, Smuckers, to
name a few and all have smooth, chunky, or some other variations such as
honey roasted. Only one in 25 stores may have a fresh ground right there
type.

In my city you would have to do that at a store that had a health food
section or at a health food store.

And? I mean, I ask because is it so much trouble to get additive free
peanut butter? We can even buy peanut butter in one or two brands in
the major stores that have oil separated on top so you have to mix it
and only salt added, but even that is too much additive for some
people.

I always liked regular old smooth Skippy on Hillbilly bread with good
strawberry preserves. The stuff where you have the actual pieces of
strawberries in there. Peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwiches
were good when I was a kid, too. It's a weird combination but it's
always been one of my oddball favorites. That and a big glass of really
cold 2% milk and I'm in a good mood for hours.

Yes, additive-free peanut butter is available in jars in most stores. I
thought you were just asking about the availability of fresh-ground stuff.
