What peanut-shaped peanut butter sandwich cookie is sold by Nabisco? The answer is Nutter Butter.

Nutter Butter is a branded American sandwich cookie made with peanut-butter-flavored biscuits and a peanut-butter filling. Its distinctive biscuits are shaped like peanuts, making the product easy to distinguish from an unbranded peanut butter cookie or a candy such as Reese’s.

Nabisco introduced Nutter Butter in 1969. Nabisco is part of Mondelēz International, which currently owns the brand. The company’s original design history is not completely settled: William A. Turnier is often credited with creating the distinctive peanut shape, but Nabisco has said the exact origin of the visual concept cannot be confirmed.

The cookie also developed an unexpected connection with blood donation. In Georgia, reports said blood donations fell by about 20,000 pints after the American Red Cross stopped distributing Nutter Butter to donors in 1995. Nabisco agreed to donate the cookies, helping end the dispute the following year. Nutter Butter is a brand name, not a general cookie category.
