Nut Butter Rice Crispy Treats with Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt being dipped in chocolate syrup in a white bowl (front-view)

When I was a kid, one of my favorite snacks was fruit. But, then I started making nut butter and it all turned around. Yep, you better believe it. I started making crispy rice treats and snazzing them up with all kinds of goodies: dark chocolate, sea salt, and of course, any of your favorite JUSTIN’S® Nut Butters. Feel like a kid again with my nut butter rice crispy treats with dark chocolate & sea salt.

 

Thai Coconut Curry Soup in a two-colored bowl on a grey round plate on a white marble tabletop with cilantro leaves

Looking to shake up dinner time? Look no further. This Thai Curry Soup with Crunchy Coconut Almond Butter is anything but ordinary. Nobody ever went wrong with sauteed onion, garlic, ginger, and red curry, but adding a handful of crunchy, coconut-y roasted chickpeas on top takes this soup to the next level. Best of all? You can enjoy all this flavor with only about thirty minutes of hands-on cooking time.

Don’t be a meanie, eat a panini! My Cheesy Almond Butter, Apple + Bacon Panini has got everything it says in the title and maybe a little more if you add some extra love to the mix. It’s also got JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter in it, which is basically love, anyways.

 

Almond Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates on spoons on top of a wooden serving plate on a wood background

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love to dance. Full-on dad style. If you know anything else about me, it’s that I have a huge sweet tooth. One of my favorite ways to indulge my cravings for sweets is with my almond butter bacon-wrapped dates. I make it with fresh pitted dates, crispy bacon, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. It’s so good it makes me feel like I could dance!
