I grew up on Skippy but I won't touch the stuff anymore. Get Smuckers natural - the ingredients are "peanuts and <1% salt." And it's AMAZING.
Tip - when you buy the jar, it has oil at the top. Take the jar home, flip it over, let the oil get to the new top (bottom of the jar), flip it back over, open it up, and mix it with a knife.
Best peanut butter ever.
I love peanut butter - one of the few foods that is both sweet and savory...
delicious, but probably the worst ones for you. Can't go wrong with Smucker's Natural Crunchy. However I will say, Peter Pan's Whipped Creamy is a close #2 and is great nutrition-wise.
any combo sandwiches you guys?
when I was trying to keep my weight up for football I gouged on peanut butter, banana and honey sandwiches on whole wheat.
I'm sure if I looked at the ingredients, it's not entirely natural and there are additives and extra stuff - I just don't love the totally bare bones stuff that's literally just peanuts, salt and oil.

That's what my wife buys, and the kids like. We tried couple of times to go more "natural" and it never worked.
I don't know why - not sure if it's because the oils change or the quality of the peanuts used in store bought - but once I made my own I couldn't take the taste of the off the shelf PB anymore.
I don't eat much of it these days though, when I do use PB for anything it's usually as a topping and it's the defatted PB powder.

I like Smuckers Natural, too (at least the salted kind), but the natural folks always seem to exaggerate the difference. I mean, the only extra ingredients are usually a little sugar and even less hydrogenated oil or palm oil. But sugar! Saturated fat! (Not trans fat since they don't use partially hydrogenated oil any more)
So the sugar bumps from 1g to 3g per serving. The saturated fat jumps from 2g to 3g. Not exactly the picture you get listening to people say that they're garbage compared to the "real thing."

Skippy natural creamy has 2 whole grams of added sugar. Otherwise, it's literally just peanuts, salt, and oil.
Don't get me wrong - those 2g make it noticeably sweeter and the little bit of palm oil mixed in changes the consistency vs plain ground peanuts, but the nutrition label isn't very different.
Why don't they call it Roundtine?

(fun fact, I once drove for a car service & picked up one Steven Hynter aka Kenny Banya aka It's gold Jerry, gold at Newark Airport)
Crunchy Skippy ALL DAY!

Just looked. We have Jif and Peter Pan.
I prefer Skippy chunky.
