I never thought I’d say this but … phew … I would choose this Almond Joy Spread any day over peanut butter!
*flinches*
Oh, I thought you were going to (virtually) punch me for a second there.
This spread is super buttery and creamy, similar to peanut butter, only it’s sweet and full of three amazing flavors: almond, coconut, and chocolate… totally unlike peanut butter. It’s like spreadable dessert!
This is probably definitely the best replacement out there for fruit jellies and jams, cream cheeses, butter, and dare I say, other plain nut butters? Plus, it’s lower calorie and lower fat (see the nutrition label below)
