How funny-- DD and I were looking at this just yesterday in the grocery store.  It was right next to the Nutella.  I didn't see anything on the label that would indicate a problem with pn/tn/egg, though I'm recalling soy and milk both.  Maybe it was just soy.  Hmm.

It looked so terrible nutritionally that I quickly lost interest, though.   And rest assured that I mean "terrible" in the most literal sense; this was in comparison to the Nutella I was purchasing instead.  LOL...

Yes, I was thinking as more of a treat...I crave nutella every so often but will not buy it for our house.  Of course, I really don't need a large jar of it in the house either.

Mashed up, FAT-LOADED cookies, yes.  Apparently.   ;D  I was trying to imagine what on earth it would be "appropriate" with.  As a spread, I mean.

The only things that I could really come up with off hand were:

a) sandwich cookie filling,
b) ganache-without-the-chocolate and in a convenient package.  So cake filling, that kind of thing.
c) cannoli filling.

What does your household do with this stuff, Mac?  Because realize that my DD's got the same kind of sweet tooth that you and your DH do-- I may have mentally overlooked something that she'd find delightful.

Once a month it so it's great spread on DH's multigrain bread. 

My mother, who loves pb, latched onto this stuff.

I haven't seen this at all - but I bet Fairway has it.  I'll have to keep an eye out, though I have to say sweets really aren't our thing.  Fat is.  :misspeak:

DH contacted the company and it is safe for us (PN/TN/SFA). We have been enjoying it --gone through two jars. Yes, horrible nutritionally but we're good nutritionally in other areas so it all evens out.....Quite yummy.

I called tonight about their cookies, which I've started seeing locally.  The customer rep could not possibly have been more helpful, or knowledgeable about our issues. 

He assured me that both the cookies and the spread are made in a completely, totally PN & TN-free facility.  Can't wait to try the cookies; I imagine they are like the Bistro Biscuits I got from TJ's yesterday.  Yummo!

Hmmm, and this would be why I shouldn't buy a jar!
