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).
