Peanut Butter Panic is the seventh installment in the An Amish Candy Shop Mystery series set in the Amish community of Harvest, Ohio and featuring chocolatier Bailey King and her adorable rabbit, Puff. It's Thanksgiving and the staff of Swissmen Sweets has once again been roped in by Margot Rawlings to provide the candies for the community feast on the town square.

The usually unflappable Margot is beside herself with the news that her mother, Zara is coming to town. Zara is a retired judge currently living in Florida and she is not well liked by the Amish in Harvest, having sentenced many of them to strict punishments for seemingly petty crimes before leaving the bench. Zara arrives with a younger man in tow and makes the shocking announcement that they are engaged. Blaze is smarmy and seems to be making passes at Bailey, but she is still shocked when dies at the dinner table - a victim of peanut poisoning.

A delightful addition to the series which ones again weaves the lives of the Amish in with the English. The story ends with the promise of exciting things to come in Bailey's relationship, the future of Swissmen Sweets and the idea that a canine might be joining the duo of Jethro the pig and Puff.
