    If it’s the more natural kind it can go rancid if you don’t eat it fairly quickly. If it’s peanut butter flavored frosting like Jiff then it doesn’t matter really

      I have peanut butter in the fridge. I hate PB and it’s only used for my dogs kong. Fridge firms it up and keeps the oil from separating. Much easier to work with than when it’s room temp and runny.

        Really? Huh. I get natural too and I feel like it stays good for a couple weeks, but gets a kinda weird bitterness after that. Kinda like celery but less dramatic. It’s definitely still edible either way though.

      The original patent for peanut butter (literally called peanut-candy) specified the peanut paste is mixed with sugar. So Jif is legitimate peanut butter even though you want to be snarky about its sugar content.
