Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie – ADDICTION
By JustDenise
I have a problem! I think I’ve become addicted to Nutter Butters! I have never been faced with this type of a problem and it’s sort of scaring me!
We bought those big lunch box packages that have three different kinds of cookies – Nutter Butter, Chips Ahoy and Oreo, I believe. These are the "mini" sized cookies so they seemed sort of harmless to me and I had a bag one day last week when I was starving but the boss had me chained to the computer. Before I knew it, I’d eaten TWO MORE BAGS within just a few moments.
Well, ummm, same thing happened a couple of days later – three of those mini bags bit the dust before I knew what had happened.
Now today, I’m hungry, and I found myself digging through those boxes of mini, lunchbox sized bags of cookies hoping and almost praying (you know I don’t really pray) for Nutter Butters.
What is going on? Do you think someone like spiked my package of cookies with some weird drug that is making me crave these things? Or is it Nabisco that is adding something to cause my craving? Is it the trans fat, or lack thereof that’s doing this? If I opened a bag of Chips Ahoy (which I really don’t like) would I find myself eating my way through three of those mini bags?
HELP! Save me from the Nutter Butter Madness and please do NOT let me buy any Nutter Butters ever AGAIN!
Now, back to today’s regularly scheduled cookie binge. Ok so it wasn’t scheduled and there was nothing regular about it. When I said "I binged today" to TW I thought she was going to keel over laughing or at least pee her pants. Binging is not something I do. Not really. Except when there are oatmealy peanut butter cookies around, it seems
You see today, I did in fact binge. At least I feel like I binged. It might not be a true binge to those who have binge eating disorder and stuff but it’s all relative, if you ask me. I ate an entire sleeve of Do-si-dos. All by myself. Not all at one time, just throughout the work day over about six hours. That’s about 10 cookies, I think. Might have been 11 but TW says there are 10 in a sleeve. We don’t know for sure because there aren’t anymore left to count. (If you’ve got a box with a full sleeve, could you count and let me know, please?)
Besides the fact that this binging thing is weird it bugs me that I ate 10 (or maybe 11) of those things. I use to love them. But now they taste funny, not as salty as they use to be. It’s not the baker, I’m use to having the Little Brownie Bakers as our GS Cookie distributor. It isn’t the trans fats, I don’t think, because these things still have trans fats. (Man I think I probably had 8 grams of trans fats – do not tell Elaine!) Why DID I eat 10 (or maybe 11) cookies that I didn’t even enjoy? It wasn’t like the Nutter Butter binge, when I really did enjoy those suckers. Every time I ate a Do-Si-Do I grumbled that they didn’t taste the same and didn’t taste as good – but still, I ate them.
No more peanut butter oatmeal type cookies are coming in this house ever again. Nutter Butters and Do-Si-Dos are BANNED from the Flamingo House foreverrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Um, my personal take is you have been nice to me lately, and this is manifesting itself in unusual ways. Binge cookieing would seem symptomatic of this…
now if you had them with milk, I’d be worried.
With milk? OMG, no. That would mean I am dying and while death is a good thing, it’s not quite time yet.
Milk. sheesh.
I am always nice to you, in my evil and venomous way.
which one are the do-si-do’s…I get confused…you’ll have more and nutter butters too
Trust me, ten cookies over the work day is not a binge! More like a graze! Are Do-si-do’s oatmeal or peanut butter? Trans fat is a no no, most cookies not good!
Don’t feel bad, your normal, you the hell ever binges on rice cakes?
*cough*
Didja have a cookie today?
I did… a big, huge soft chocolate chip, this after pizza for lunch. Now I’ve eaten soup all week, and was bound and determined to splurge today!
Nope, no cookies. Yuk. I’m back to normal now.
Hey FB, Do-So-Dos are both oatmeal and peanut butter – oatmeal sandwich part with the PB in the middle.
I’m normal! Yea!
I would be more likely to binge on rice cakes, if they had olives or muffaletta spread on them…
