It comes vacume packed really hard to open but once you cut it open and take a spoon or knife and break it up it loosens up. I love this stuff!

It should break apart easily with a spoon is what I used. If it won't something is not right. Yes it should be powderlike.

It is, try squishing the bag to see if it'll break up. I had a few big chunks in one of mine, but it's fine now. If it doesn't break up I'd contact the company and have them send a new one.

it should be powder yes but i also had two bags and they are air tight in bags, which compresses the powder. it should break apart ..

I thought the same thing when I got it. It's vacuum packed. I think they do that to seal in the freshness. I opened mine and kneaded the package first to loosen it up. Then I transferred it to a container with a small measuring scoop to make sure I use the right amount in each of my shakes.

these are air tight containers and once you cut into them the contents will be powder.

My chocolate pb2 was initially like that, but once I got the package opened and started using it, I was able to break it up and it was powder. It had more lumps than the regular pb2, but just needed a bit of kneading. If this is not the case with yours, you may contact bell plantation. They appear to be interested in creating a quality product and would likely want to replace your rock with a new package.

They are crunchy treats. They do break apart pretty easily and you would be able to crumble them but they are not soft.

It is the texture of regular sugar, not powdered. I don't know if they make a powdered. The rare times I need powdered I just put it in my blender. Poof powdered!

No they are not quite jelly bean-like. They are somewhat chewy.crunchy-ish and smaller but they do melt in heat like if you were making red hot applesauce or apple butter.

That was just the opposite of my experiences. Mine were constantly hard (undercooked) no matter how long I cooked them, even tried soaking them overnight still no success, so it stays in back of my cabinet and took out my old pressure cooker and gone back to my old ways!!!

They are semi-hard with powdered magnesium inside, it appears the capsules screw together. I've been taking these for over 3 yrs and do not have a problem with swallowing, just pop in mouth with water.

I just bought this last week and it is not a powder. It is a thick paste - consistency similar to peanut butter.

I think this is the texture not creamy like peanut butter. So if you wanted creamier I would add some coconut milk and/ or coconut oil and experiment to the consistency you prefer.

They aren't soft, definitely about as tough as a bully stick or a rawhide - so use your best judgement I guess. My little elderly schnauzer mix does fine with it, and our friend's pom eats it like a cracker.

They are not crunchy. Not really soft either. I would say "pliable" like taffy.

No they are hard. I do not recommend . There are better products that are soft .

General there is a picture that shows the bags or jar. It doesn't matter to me because I put the powder in a plastic container and mark on it what it is and any information I need to know. I won't ever use any other Peanut Butter as long as they make this one. I love the Chocolate Peanut Butter also.

They are hard, not soft. My daughters both chewed on the soft ones and made extra holes, so these worked better for them.

I can't answer that question Mr. Norton. I bought the peanuts for eating them as-is. My limited peanut butter experience is from dipping a knife into a jar of it from the grocery store.Good luck in your efforts. If you haven't already, I suspect you can find the "how to" on the Internet.

T hat was why i bought it however, I put them in water and they swell up but it was like a gel and I didn't care for texture. I never got around to putting them in muffins or something else. Sorry I couldn't be helpful.

They look raw to me. I bought them on few occasions and give one package to my son. He is against roasted nuts and strictly paleo, he never complained.

They are equal to a tablespoon. 3 Pts. on Weightwatchers. It is a good amount of peanut butter. The size of the container is probably as big as a 50 cent piece. Hope this helps
