Our beloved Stan’s Donuts in Westwood (near UCLA) had a “Reese’s” donut with peanut butter and chocolate frosting. Sadly, they couldn’t last through the pandemic (and through healthier eating trends) and closed after 55 years in business.
Nowadays some schools and playgrounds are banning peanut products because so many kids have peanut allergies. That’s something you rarely heard of when I was growing up.
I wonder if Charles Schulz ate his school lunches out on the playground. Most strips show cafeterias. Mu grade school didn’t have one- I never ate in a cafeteria until junior high. But prior to that, we didn’t eat lunch at school- we went home for lunch, and then came back for afternoon session. There were very few exceptions- kids who couldn’t go home and back for whatever reason. They would eat in a special break room with a small kitchenette. It’s been so long that it seems weird now, but it was normal to us then.
Bleah! A doughnut only my wife could love. She’s nuts about peanut butter; I say getting peanut butter within 10 feet of anything intended to be a treat or dessert is a crime against humanity.

too bad Portland, Oregon doughnut shop Voodoo Doughnut wasn’t around back then; it — having a variety of bizarre concoctions — was established in 2003

Does the Peanut-Butter Doughnut come with a strawberry jam filling?

What’ll that accomplish, Linus? Make Charlie’s lunch seem less boring?

The power of suggestion, now I smell doughnuts and peanut butter. Not sure how it would taste as a combination, but would be willing to try it once.

Tim Hortons has a Peanut crunch donut. A few of the other Tim Hortons favorites:
A crème brulee donut with a vanilla bean custard-style filling;
A donut filled with dulce de leche and topped with cinnamon sugar coating;
A donut dipped in icing made from Canadian maple syrup and topped with candied bacon;
A donut dipped in pink icing and topped with frosted Froot Loops and a white drizzle;
A donut dipped in pink icing and finished with a confetti buttercream swirl and sprinkles;
A raspberry jam-filled donut topped with peanut butter icing and crushed peanuts;
A donut dipped in a hibiscus flower icing and topped with dried blueberries;
A donut covered in brown butter icing and topped with sea salt flakes;
A donut with a chocolate base featuring buttercream with hazelnut spread that is topped with roasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate curls;
A donut with a sour cream cake base that is dipped in an orange zest icing and topped with a candied orange peel and chopped cranberries;
A Tim Hortons original glaze donut mixed with vanilla to create a vanilla bean dip donut;
A donut featuring a dark chocolate crust, praline almond spread and toasted coconut topping.

I can see peanut butter in a raised donut, but not a cake donut or a cruller.

Peanut butter is good in almost anything! But this strip must predate the idea that a donut could come in anything but “donut” flavor!

What’s wrong with that? (Or a bagel with peanut butter spread on it instead of cream cheese…)
