About Imitation peanut butter

Imitation peanut butter is a spread formulated to resemble peanut butter. Its name specifies the style, not a fixed recipe or a guaranteed quantity or presence of peanuts; the ingredients and flavouring may vary.

It is used as a spread or in recipes where a peanut-butter-style product is called for. It is typically thick and spreadable, with a nut-like savoury flavour and possibly a smooth or coarse texture, depending on the formulation.
