Perfect Peanut Butter

To have the best peanut butter of your life, all you need to do is leave a half-eaten jar in the afternoon sun for a few hours.

The gentle warmth is strong enough to transform the peanut butter into a slightly melty, very creamy confection - but not so strong as to turn it into an outright liquid or unmanageable goo, like if you melted it in a saucepan on the stove. Rather, it retains some degree of solidity, allowing you to spoon it out with ease, as before.

I discovered this yesterday and I'm scared of doing it again because I know that if I do, I'll probably end up eating an entire jar's worth in the space of a few minutes. There truly are some powers that are far too dangerous to leave in the hands of mere mortal men.

(And I'm sure any further consideration of throwing in a handful of chocolate chips certainly wouldn't help matters)
