If you know anything about me, you know that I love food. I love to cook. Love to eat. The whole shebang. One of my favorites to make for friends is this recipe Chicken with Savory Almond Butter Sauce. I make the sauce with JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter, sliced mushrooms, and shallots—which are like garlicky onions. It gives it an amazing flavor that everyone at your party is sure to remember.

This Peanut Butterbeer is wicked good and a great drink for any event. I’ve added JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter to a cream soda and topped it with coconut whipped cream. I go nuts if I go too long without one of these magical drinks.

I love to throw parties for friends and family. Sometimes they get a little crazy and we have to tell Grandma to stop dancing on the table. But, when she gets a hold of these almond coco-nutty buddies, it’s really hard to get her to stop. With JUSTIN’S® Classic Almond Butter packed into every bite, it’s hard to blame her. Get down from there, Grandma. You’re going to break something.

At this point, I have to ask, “what CAN’T almond butter do?” This Korean-inspired Almond Butter Ssamjang (which translates to “sauce for wraps”) is a sweet, spicy, and perfectly salty sauce that is phenomenal in a lettuce wrap or just as a dip for fresh veggies.
