The other day I came home from work to find a plate of peanut butter snack bars on the kitchen counter. Accompanying the delectables was a note from my 12-year-old daughter Melissa to her grandparents. “Dear Grandma and Grandpa, I made these for you. Love, Melissa.”

What does the phrase “snack bars” mean?

It is confusing, because a snack bar can also mean s sort of canteen or counter where snacks are sold.

That’s true but then it’s just a snack bar and not a peanut butter snack bar

Perhaps with our infatuation with peanut butter here in the US, there is a snack bar that exclusively sells peanut butter snacks! 
But seriously, I have heard that many years ago it was almost impossible to find peanut butter in grocery stores in the UK. Do you think it is becoming more popular these days in Europe?

Here in Germany the consumption of peanut butter and peanut butter products has been on the rise for the past few years. Most of the peanut butter products sold in German supermarkets are made in the US by the way.

Here, we also consume peanut butter (crunchy and creamy). My grandchildren prefer the crunchy butter. I like both.

It’s a typo, isn’t it?

According to lexical definition, a bar can be a counter in a pub, restaurant, or cafe across which drinks or refreshments are served. So it’s correct; not a typo, in my opinion.

Yes, it is a typo, sorry! Who designed this keyboard anyway? It’s almost like they wanted to slow typists down!
