A new, limited edition to the Jif Whips line of spreads, Jif Whips Whipped Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mint Spread can be used in a variety of different ways this holiday season. For those of you who love the salty-and-sweet combination of peanut butter and chocolate, this smooth and fluffy spread serves as a great treat—whether it be as a spread for shortbread cookies, piping as a topping or filling for your favorite baked goods, or a party dip with fruit, crackers, and other tasty snacks.

On their official website, Jif offers a variety of fun tips, ideas, and recipes utilizing their spreads—including the original Creamy Whipped Peanut Butter and Whipped Peanut Butter & Chocolate flavors. A lover of peppermint candy, I myself will be sure to try the Chocolate Mint Thumbprint Cookies recipe described below.
