That's only if you go for plastic peanut butter. The real stuff is
significantly coarser than "smooth" but does not have anything
approximating real crunch. I suppose you could add peanut pieces to
it, but I don't see the point, unless you like sharp corners doing
violence to your gums. ("How I envy the ro-o-o-ose you held in your
teeth, love / With the thorns underneath, love / Sticking into your
gums!")

True. Peanuts are rather low on hardness scales. :) For things
needing a bit of abrasion, slightly dampened baking soda can often do
good things. It's also comparatively nontoxic; even inhaled, it just
dissolves upon meeting mucous membranes.
