March is National Peanut Month, and we’re celebrating by scouring the city to find the best peanut butter-based treats. Here at CBSNewYork.com, we love the stuff – and we bet many of you do, too. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a staple of childhood for many of us. Even the King of Rock & Roll himself, Elvis Presley, had a penchant for peanut butter. These are our five favorites throughout New York City. By Annie Reuter.
