day Almond butter was devised years ago as an alternative to peanut butter..
The flavored versions are more interesting....
Flavored almond butters are delicious. They come in flavors such as vanilla, coconut,
cheese, hickory smoked. Also you can find them in chocolate, amaretto, apricot,
maple, carob, and yogurt. |

Little known facts
Caramel and Butterscotch are made in
similar ways to toffee, as is fudge. The difference is in the degree of boiling
temperature and the ways in which they are cooled. This whole process uses high-heat to
convert sugar. Crystallization, graininess, and whether it is brittle or smooth are simply
variations of this process.
