Almond butter

Ground roasted almonds blended into a thick, creamy spread. Milder and slightly less sweet than peanut butter. Natural varieties separate — stir well before using.

  • dipping fruit

Picking it at the store

  • Natural almond butter (ingredients: almonds, salt) is healthier; the oil separation is normal — just stir it
  • Store opened jars upside down so the oil migrates back into the butter
