Try it – Justin’s Almond Butter

Try It

Last week I shared a pretty stellar creation. Go ahead, OOOO and AAAAH.

While I remember vividly explaining the chocolatey euphoria each bite created in my mouth, I failed to expound upon on pretty important detail: Justin’s Chocolate Almond Butter.

Ingredients: Dry Roasted Almonds, Organic Evaporated Cane Sugar, Organic Cocoa Powder, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Palm Fruit Oil, Natural Vanilla, Sea Salt.

When I first spotted the packet on the shelf I let out a piglet-like squeal and then apologized to those around me for making such a big to-do — what can I say, I’m a bit dramatic and when you combine that with my deep adoration for all things food, well you can see how this is a fairly common response. Anyway, after calming myself down, I was most interested in finding out the sugar content of the smooth chocolate treat. Those other Nutella lovers out there may know that one of my least favorite parts about the creamy goodness is the SUGAR! Two tablespoons contains 20 grams!

You can imagine my relief, then, when I quickly learned that two tablespoons of Justin’s formula contains a mere 7 grams – let the heavens rejoice!

But how would it taste? I mean yea, Nutella packs in the sugar, but it also makes my heart flutter, and well, that’s an important side-effect I look for in my chocolatey goods. After putting Justin’s to the test, not just in my delicious sandwich, but also implementing a finger-licking test (I find it’s the most effective), I can safely say this stuff is AMAZEBALLS.

Heart=fluttering

If you can, find Justin’s chocolate almond butter. Do not rest. Do not sleep. FIND IT. If you are having trouble, I’m pretty sure you can score some from the Internet gods – i.e. good old fashion e-commerce sites.

Have you tried Justin’s Chocolate Almond Butter yet? What did you think?

p.s. Justin’s Almond Butter did NOT provide compensation or product for this review — although I pray they will would graciously accept any surplus of the good stuff.

    I have yet to try Justin’s… although I hear it’s all the rage. ;) I tried Barney Butter- but was a tad bit disappointed. I think since I started to pick up the pb at Trader Joe’s that is strictly peanuts and nothing else, everything else seems a little sweet for my taste…

    I haven’t tried the chocolate almond butter yet. I currently have the maple almond butter and am so in love with it!! I can’t get enough of it. And I love the little take along packets.

    If you like this, you need to find the Justin’s hazelnut spread. It IS Nutella, but better!

    I just bought the chocolate almond spread today, after trying a packet. It is incredible! I agree with the previous commenter as well, try the chocolate hazelnut. It is definitely better than Nutella! Mmmm…

    Have you tried the Maranatha kind? I thought that was really good but haven’t tried Justin’s yet.

    I wasn’t a huge fan of the Maranatha flavor, so I didn’t want to splurge on this one. I DID however buy the Chocolate Hazelnut butter and YUM YUM YUM!!!
