If you love almond butter and the classic Nutella spread, this recipe is for you! This chocolate almond butter is my latest obsession. Almond butter is a staple in our home and adding chocolate only makes it more delicious!
Nut butters are a great way to add some more protein and healthy fats to a snack to make it more well-balanced and satisfying. As written, this recipe is not super sweet, but feel free to add more sweetener to get the flavor you prefer!
You can also try substituting another nut or seed to accommodate for allergies or preferences. Chocolate peanut butter is amazing!
I absolutely love combining this spread with apples, bananas, toast, pretzels, and whole wheat crackers!
