Posting to TikTok, Mansfield — who is a chef and a mum who posts mouth-watering recipes to the video-sharing platform — shared her secret to getting every last bit of peanut butter out of its peskily-shaped home.

"Take your spatula and brush all the outsides," she says as she demonstrates the hack, scraping all the sides. "It's the easiest."
"My husband's favorite pastime is watching me do this for… the bottom of the jar," Mansfield explains as she takes a bite of the peanut butter she's removed from the jar.
"Literally, nothing brings me more happiness than doing this," she says as she reveals the now properly empty jar of peanut butter, which has clean and clear sides.
