Useful tips for Chocolate almond butter
This recipe is pretty straight forward. It’s similar to peanut butter or walnut butter with a Vitamix.
But since almonds are a bit dryer, naturally, you’ll need a tiny bit of oil to get the best result.
Buy raw unsalted almonds and then roast them in a single layer.
This stuff is good on anything, we recommend pretzel sticks.
If you're feeling really crafty, you can make these campfire cookies and use your almond butter as the base. (That's colored shredded coconut in the middle).
I tried to notify you so I could get my free recipes, but the site wouldn’t allow me to go to “next.” I just bought mine from QVC. I hadn’t seen your site before I bought it. I enjoy how you explain how you come up with ideas for your recipes. I a looking forward to making lots of them. My mind is a-buzz with ideas.
We used a 32 ounce wet. Either container works fine for nut butters.

Well I will use 64 ounce wet container, I don’t have wet 32 ounces. I received as gift 32 DRY container.
Did you used WET or DRY container for making this gorgeous treat ? 🙂
