You didn't specifically ask about Australia, but here goes ...
Aussie kids eat peanut butter. Probably peanut butter, vegemite (black yeast extract that Australians love) and jam (same as England, what Americans call jelly) are the most popular spreads. We are aware that Americans eat peanut butter and jam together, but mostly we don't.
I think most of the peanut butter available here is locally made. There is an Australian called Dick Smith who has a range of foods, all made in Australia and as far as is possible, made from Australian ingredients. He sells peanut butter.
The popularity may have waned a little due to allergy problems and the fact that some schools have a school-wide ban on anything with nuts.
Do other countries have crunchy and smooth?
