Chocolate Hazelnut Babka on a wooden serving board on a cloth beside a cup of coffee on a blue wood background

Rome wasn’t built in a day. All good things come to those who wait. There are probably some other expressions about time and working hard that aren’t coming to me right now. These Chocolate Hazelnut Babkas take a little bit of time, but they are well worth the effort. They use JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter and when served warm are a delicious snack for friends and family.

Have you ever heard of the term “Heaven on Earth”? Well, this is what they meant when they said that. This is a Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream Cake made with JUSTIN’S® organic nut butter cups, brownie mix, fudge sauce, and ice cream. Need I say more?

Peanut Butter and Jelly Smoothie in clear cups with white and gray striped straws on a white background

I would say something like “Enjoy the taste of childhood PB&J with this Peanut Butter & Jelly Smoothie,” but that would imply that adults don’t eat PB&J sandwiches. That is not true at all for this adult. If you love Peanut Butter & Jelly just as much as me, then you will like this smoothie.

Guilt Free Maple Almond Butter Doughnuts on a cooling tray in a white background with a peanut butter jar

When you go get a Baker’s Dozen of doughnuts, you’re actually getting 13 doughnuts. A JUSTIN’S® Dozen is when you eat all of them by yourself. Get a JUSTIN’S® Dozen of these Guilt-Free Maple Almond Butter Doughnuts. They’re made with JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter so you know they’re good. Just kidding, don’t really eat 13 doughnuts, no matter how good they are.

 

Spicy Peanut Sauce used to dip dumplings being held with brown wooden chopsticks on a white background

I can’t get enough of this Spicy Peanut Sauce. Fresh ginger, garlic, and of course, JUSTIN’S® Honey Peanut Butter. It’s so good I could drink it right from the bowl. Of course, I’d never do that. Maybe.
