One of the neat perks of having my own food website is I occasionally get to try new products for free, as companies hope that if I like their product I’ll tell you about it. Once in a while this clever marketing tactic even works, as in the case of Barney Butter, the peanut free, all natural almond butter created by Calfornia mom, Jennifer Barney.
First, let me assure you that I am open-minded, but choosy. I recently tried Better’n Peanut Butter and almost gagged on that fakey sweetey tasting stuff. I also have no problem with regular peanut butter, love it in fact. But for those of you who can’t eat peanuts, or who love almonds and their health benefits, or who just want to try something different, I wholeheartedly recommend Barney Butter. I’ve tried it on a spoon, on a cracker, and most recently, on a chocolate rice cake for an afternoon snack–delightful! B.B. is available on the website or in many stores in the Western U.S.
Recently read a recipe for an adult PBJ: Almond Butter with sugar-free Cherry Preserves on multi-grain bread. Seriously yummy!!!
