Have you ever heard of chocolate almond butter?
Haven’t you?
Well, let me tell you, it’s a game-changer!
Plus, it’s super easy to make at home with just a few ingredients plus a food processor.
I’ve been whipping up batches of this creamy, dreamy treat and can’t get enough.
I use it for everything from spreading on toast, topping yogurt, filling chocolate cups, and even as a snack right off the spoon.
The possibilities are endless.
Best of all, you can use the same process to make nut butter from any kind of nut and then add your own flavors.
I chose a chocolate version because everyone seems to love chocolate, but I think a little orange zest would be perfect for the holidays.
I promise you that a food processor is well worth the investment, and if you don’t have one yet, you should put it on your holiday wish list.
Trust me. This chocolate almond butter will not disappoint.
