Any peanut butter treat recipes?

[Hen House 60]

I was just given 50 jars of almost out of date peanut butter--Is there a treat recipe I can make up for the girls? If not I will donate the peanut butter to a food pantry. If its almost out of date I think I could make up some peanut butter and oat balls and then freeze them. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks

What a good find! I don't have any peanut butter recipes, but imagine it would be good chicken TV watching them eat peanut butter straight!

Have you tried mixing in some crumbles with the peanut butter and letting them have a go a that? I bet they would like it. I can envision a lot of beak wiping and peanut butter flung all over!
