Almond Butter Cups
Dear Reeses Peanut Butter Cup Enthusiasts,
I have something new for you to try. Something you’ll enjoy just as much. They’re Almond Butter Cups. And you can even make them at home. Yourself. Yes, YOU!
Love, RecipeGirl
The folks at Barney Butter sent me some samples of their all-natural almond butter. It’s not like some of those natural nut butters that you find in the stores… the ones that come with the nut and oil separated and you’re forced to break your favorite wooden spoon to try to blend them together. No, this one comes to you all luscious and creamy and ready to eat. No stirring needed at all. It’s gluten-free and peanut free, and you don’t have to keep it in the refrigerator.
What do you do with almond butter? Well, you can treat it just as you would peanut butter. Make cookies with it, spread it on your English Muffin, pair it with jelly and bread and call it a sandwich, dunk chocolate bars inside of it and eat it right out of the jar, or you can make almond butter cups with it. Just melt some chocolate chips, and spread them into mini muffin papers. Chill that until it has had a chance to firm up.
While that’s chillin’, mix almond butter with powdered sugar. This is going to be your creamy filling.
Roll that sweetened almond butter mixture into little balls.
Flatten them and set them on your chilled chocolate cups.
Melt some more chocolate chips and drizzle those over the top. Chill again. That’s it!
And there it is all sandwiched together. Just like a Reeses, only better. Because you made it. And because it has some fancy schmancy almond butter in it.
Eat ‘em up! Or keep them in the fridge until you’re ready for them. They’ll be waiting patiently for you. And they’re even better coming straight out of the freezer!
Here’s the fun giveaway!

Lauren at Keep It Sweet — July 25, 2011 @ 3:28 AM
I definitely want to try making your almond butter cups if I win!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga — July 25, 2011 @ 3:41 AM
Lori these look awesome! I make my own PB Cups and love making them at home b/c I can stuff EXTRA P.B. into my cups
If I won AB, I think I’d make AB cups just like you did. Or some sort of dessert. Can’t go wrong with nut butter!
Theresa — July 25, 2011 @ 3:49 AM
I would love to just try almond butter out and see if my picky eater will like it. He won’t tolerate peanut butter — makes lunch box packing difficult. If that worked…it opens up a whole world of possibilities!
Michelle I — July 25, 2011 @ 3:49 AM
I would like to try Almond Butter. I love peanut butter and have been told that almond butter may be a bit healthier. I have been trying to find healthier alternatives to my eating habits. Even if there is not a significant difference, I have been curious about it, and would love to try it.
Jean — July 25, 2011 @ 3:50 AM
If I won, I would definitely use it in my daily oatmeal breafast, but maybe I’ll get more creative and make an almond butter Elvis. Can’t get enough of this stuff.
Kate — July 25, 2011 @ 4:02 AM
I would definitely make these almond butter cups. They look yummy!
Emily — July 25, 2011 @ 4:10 AM
Almond butter is yummy on waffles!
Jamie — July 25, 2011 @ 4:11 AM
These look awesome!
I am always looking for a vegan gluten free treat and I think I’ve found it.
I’ll use Barney Almond Butter in my morning smoothies for a great protein source – Coconut Milk, Banana, Barney Almond Butter, Flax Seed Oil and Lecithin – a perfect combo.
Becki@Becki's Whole Life — July 25, 2011 @ 4:32 AM
I love all of the different nut butters that are out there right now. I agree that its great when the oil and the butter don’t separate – especially since I keep mine in the fridge! These look amazing.
Rachel — July 25, 2011 @ 4:38 AM
Wow! What a treat! With 3 people allergic to peanuts in my house, this version of a classic candy treat would be heaven!
Andrea — July 25, 2011 @ 4:49 AM
Yum!! I’ve loved every nut butter that I’ve tried. I haven’t had this brand of almond butter, but have had one that separates and it’s delicious, but a bit of a pain. Sounds like this is the perfect solution!
Amy G. H. — July 25, 2011 @ 4:50 AM
I am a huge fan of almond butter and would love to try the Barney Butter! I have been trying to perfect an almond butter and banana smoothie and this is just what I need!
Beccs — July 25, 2011 @ 4:56 AM
I love almond butter – but I have yet to try barney butter…. I would have it on a muffin for breakfast and make these almond butter cups!
Jessie — July 25, 2011 @ 4:59 AM
sounds good for a cheesecake!
Kelly — July 25, 2011 @ 5:02 AM
Yum and double yum! I would make this recipe – looks great!
Tera — July 25, 2011 @ 5:15 AM
mmmm…almond butter sounds delicious!!! I’m thinking it should be mixed into a chocolate cake/cupcake recipe for an awesome variation!
Sherry — July 25, 2011 @ 5:22 AM
I love that Barney Butter Almond butter is gluten free. I will definitely try the Almond Butter cups, but I also can’t wait to try it on GF crackers or toast. It would be fun to experiment with it in recipes that call for peanut butter, like for dressings and sauces.
Erin — July 25, 2011 @ 5:22 AM
I would absolutely give these almond butter cups a go! Yum!
Lynne @ 365 Days of Baking — July 25, 2011 @ 5:34 AM
I could really go for one of those cups right now even if it is 5:30 in the morning! I definitely prefer almond butter to peanut butter!
I’d love to make some Almond Butter cookies. We love peanut butter cookies, but have never made them with Almond Butter. I’d make your cups, too!
Jeanne ODonnell — July 25, 2011 @ 5:35 AM
I would do just what you did with it. I’m not very good at thinking up my own creations!
Adriana — July 25, 2011 @ 5:38 AM
I am slightly addicted to peanut butter, so I am super excited to try almond butter. I think I would try it in a sandwich with bananas…
kayceebeebee — July 25, 2011 @ 5:41 AM
almond butter cookies!
Sharon Holderman — July 25, 2011 @ 5:47 AM
I have my grandma’s peanut butter cookie recipe that is so delicious my husband gobbles them up. I’d like to try making them with different peanut butters!
Kristine — July 25, 2011 @ 6:09 AM
Looks good! I love peanut butte and I am always looking for an alternative. Thanks for the great recipes.
lisa — July 25, 2011 @ 6:17 AM
I would love to try this recipe with almond butter, yummy!
Erika @ The Teenage Taste — July 25, 2011 @ 6:23 AM
I love almond butter! If I win this Barney Butter you better believe I’ll be making these Almond Butter Cups. I also want to try making a grilled banana and almond butter sandwich.
Nichole — July 25, 2011 @ 6:27 AM
This are definitely on my to-make list! How easy!
Crystal — July 25, 2011 @ 6:32 AM
Almond butter cups of course
Nelly Rodriguez — July 25, 2011 @ 6:34 AM
I’d love to make peanut curry with this!
Rachel — July 25, 2011 @ 6:44 AM

Jenny — July 25, 2011 @ 6:57 AM

Maria — July 25, 2011 @ 7:00 AM
I love Barney Butter. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
Janelle — July 25, 2011 @ 7:02 AM
Yum! I’d love to try this cups. I’ve always wanted to make my own PB cups, but never got around to it. I made my own almond butter once, too, and then made truffles with it. I didn’t have the consistency quite right, but the flavor was good.
For anyone who makes these cups and wants to get the texture as close to Reese’s as possible, add a little bit of graham cracker crumbs to the butter/sugar mixture inside the chocolate. That will give it the gritty crunchy-ish texture.
Thanks, Lori!
Blog is the New Black — July 25, 2011 @ 7:02 AM
Looks great!
Chelsey (cookteen) — July 25, 2011 @ 7:04 AM
I would make tear with dark chocolate!! I love almond better (even better than peanut butter!) so these would be perfect!
Jenny Flake — July 25, 2011 @ 7:11 AM
I am drooling over these babies. I would love them right now for breakfast
Love almond butter!!!
Jan Paschke — July 25, 2011 @ 7:13 AM
Chocolate and almond butter? Am I in heaven?
Erin — July 25, 2011 @ 7:22 AM
Mmm almond butter is great! Wonderful idea putting them into cups
Evan Thomas — July 25, 2011 @ 7:23 AM
Yum! I love the flavor of Barney Butter; have trouble telling the difference from peanut butter. I’d love to eat it with some chocolate.
Great meeting you yesterday! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time here.
Cheryl Duke — July 25, 2011 @ 7:23 AM
Would Love to try the AB on a graham cracker with a few mini choc chips sprinkled on it! Possibly a mini s’more. Sounds yummy!! Can’t wait to try your AB cups!
Sydney Fanovich — July 25, 2011 @ 7:24 AM
That looks delicious!
I know it sounds strange..but I’ve been strangely longing for an egg white omelette with buttery toasted coconut, bananas and peanut butter. But after seeing the almond butter I would definitely have to try it with that.
Renee — July 25, 2011 @ 7:26 AM
These look great. I’ve tried almond butter once and it was grainy and had the oil separation thing going on. I’d love to give it another shot and let almond butter redeem itself
I would definitely make these yummy looking treats if the right almond butter came into my life.
Lori B — July 25, 2011 @ 7:26 AM
I would just eat it with a big spoon!!!
alex — July 25, 2011 @ 7:44 AM

Melisa — July 25, 2011 @ 7:52 AM

Megan — July 25, 2011 @ 8:09 AM

Karly — July 25, 2011 @ 8:10 AM
Oh, Lord. My PB cup lovin’ self MUST eat these soon.
Doreen — July 25, 2011 @ 8:20 AM
I would use it in my peanut butter icing recipe
Cecilia — July 25, 2011 @ 8:22 AM

Jill M. — July 25, 2011 @ 8:27 AM

Rachel Cotterill — July 25, 2011 @ 8:43 AM

Sarah — July 25, 2011 @ 9:03 AM
Yum, I love almond butter. I’d try this one in my Almond Butter Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe!
Denae — July 25, 2011 @ 9:12 AM
I think I would start with “spoon of almond butter” then probably switch out my pb for ab in my favorite cookie recipe!
Taryn — July 25, 2011 @ 9:24 AM
I am a fan of peanut butter on bananas so that’s the way I would like to try the almond butter. Just typing this makes me want to taste it now.

Amilia Nimblett — July 25, 2011 @ 9:28 AM
I love peanut butter so I would just like to see how this compares! I really want to make peanut butter cupcakes so maybe i’d try almond butter cupcakes instead!
Ysolde — July 25, 2011 @ 9:28 AM

First thing I would do if I won is fill my mouth with a tablespoon right from the jar:)
Second would be the almond butter cups you shared with us.
Third, I would attempt an almond butter cake frosting in lieu of PB frosting. Sounds heavenly doesn’t it?
You cannot go wrong with Almond Butter in anything as far as I’m concerned! Love it in smoothies and on my oatmeal or pancakes:D
Wendy berger — July 25, 2011 @ 10:45 AM

I definitely want to try making your almond butter cups if I win!

My daughter is allergic to peanut butter so this is great – thanks for the recipe. As for what I’d like to try with Almond Butter, I’ve put it with almost everything already, except for jelly, believe it or not. So I’ll have to pair it with my mother -in-law’s homemade blackberry preserves.
Katie — July 25, 2011 @ 11:22 AM
I’d love to try these almond butter cups! And switch out peanut butter for the almond butter in a post-run banana/chocolate/almond butter smoothie!

Katrina — July 25, 2011 @ 11:34 AM
Yum to the AB cups! I love Barney Butter. I’ve made a number of things with it, but a few years ago I made some really good AB chocolate chip cookies with it and have been wanting to make those again!
Lyndsay Zoratti — July 25, 2011 @ 11:45 AM
There are a couple things I would do with this, first I would check the melting temp! Then I would make a date almond crumble square with home made riley toffee beaten with an 8 ox block of cream cheese to marble into yet more almond butter on top! Then if I win I will put links for my recipe on both my facebook pages, the sweet cuppin love page and my flicker as well as my recipe blog and link to recipe girl cos I follow her every day …. I will even tweet out this contest repeatedly! I do this because when recipe girl asked me before about a survey I fogot what a reeses pieces was hahaha Love ya duckie! In case I dont win I will go buy me a bottle (——-) <— grin

Paula B. — July 25, 2011 @ 12:04 PM

Kimberly Levin — July 25, 2011 @ 12:07 PM

Mary W. — July 25, 2011 @ 1:56 PM
Oooh,a Nutella and almond butter panini sounds fantastic!

We love almond butter… almost as good as nutella, but if we make the Almond butter chocolate cups, it is sure to be better!
Christina — July 25, 2011 @ 2:37 PM
I’d love to try and make almond butter cookies
Heidi @ Food Doodles — July 25, 2011 @ 2:45 PM
Mmm, I want to try making my own nut butter cups too! I have tried before but they don’t always turn out just like I want them to. Yours look great. And to be totally honest, almond butter on a spoon is really the first thing I’d try
Anne — July 25, 2011 @ 2:52 PM
The almond butter substituted for peanut butter could be my favorite new way to make sesame noodles.
Misty — July 25, 2011 @ 3:01 PM
I’d try my Barney Butter with a spoon!
Your almond butter cups looks delicious!
Ericka — July 25, 2011 @ 3:05 PM
Hello little beauties! Now I want to try making my own too! I would try it right out of the jar with a big ol spoon!
April was in CT now CA — July 25, 2011 @ 3:12 PM
Probably like everyone else who just read this post I would try these almond butter cups!! *drool* After that I’d try the good ole’ fashioned almond butter and jelly sandwich.
connie munoz — July 25, 2011 @ 3:15 PM
I would love to try the barney almond butter, i have made my own and it is kind of a hassle and would love to do taste testing on a already made,so i can save time and energy and buy my own….
Cookin' Canuck — July 25, 2011 @ 3:18 PM
Now that’s the way to enjoy almond butter. What a great treat, Lori!
Haley — July 25, 2011 @ 3:36 PM
I would eat my Barney Butter with my right index finger! … then maybe on a banana =)
Kelly G — July 25, 2011 @ 3:41 PM
I’ve been wanting to try almond butter forever. I would love to try this recipe also! I think I may want to try it on some toast also!
Heidi — July 25, 2011 @ 3:42 PM
That looks so yummy!!
Deborah Denny — July 25, 2011 @ 3:42 PM
My 1-year-old LOVES almond butter! And I would love to try some fun almond butter recipes. Thanks!
Carollee — July 25, 2011 @ 4:36 PM
This look so yummy! I love almond butter on celery instead of peanut butter, so much better!
Leigh Ann — July 25, 2011 @ 4:44 PM
I love almond butter on my toast, but I would really want to try almond butter and banana bread!
Jen — July 25, 2011 @ 4:44 PM
with black cherry preserves on toast!
Kate — July 25, 2011 @ 4:49 PM
Those sound so delicious! A nutritionist recently recommended that I add almonds to my diet. I am going to go check out their website right now!
Dana — July 25, 2011 @ 5:04 PM
Would love to just try it plain! It sounds wonderful.
Susan — July 25, 2011 @ 5:08 PM
I use Barney butter to make egg free, peanut free nut butter cookies. Can’t wait to try these almond butter cups!
Sarah W — July 25, 2011 @ 5:18 PM
I would have to make a AB&J sandwich for my son…but then I’d try out some brownie/cookie/other dessert recipe. Looks delicious!!
Evan Barbour — July 25, 2011 @ 5:27 PM
I’m OBSESSED with Barney Butter! It melts like heaven on toast- definitely my favorite almond butter, especially with a sprinkle of salt on top. These look amazing!
Cheryl — July 25, 2011 @ 5:29 PM
The first spoonful (crunchy!) would be eaten directly from the jar, then I’d like to try some in my oatmeal. Almond butter cups made with dark chocolate would be high on my list as well! Yummmmmmmmm!
Carol Archambault — July 25, 2011 @ 5:31 PM
These almond butter cups look so yummy, I will definately be making these. Thanks for sharing!!
Sarah — July 25, 2011 @ 5:32 PM

Debra — July 25, 2011 @ 5:36 PM
mmmm….sounds yummy! I bet a pretzel smothered with the almond butter then dipped in chocolate would be awesome!
Heather — July 25, 2011 @ 5:49 PM
These sound absolutely sinful, which is why I want to make them right now! I love Barney’s Almond Butter, it’s the best! And of course, I want to try these with the Barney’s Butter.
Pure2raw twins — July 25, 2011 @ 5:50 PM
drool! these look amazing! and thank you so much for making them with almond butter as we can not handle peanuts!!! thanks!
Joanne — July 25, 2011 @ 5:55 PM
I’m actually WAY more of an almond butter fanatic than a peanut butter fanatic but I barely keep it around because I could totally eat an entire container in a day. I’d make some almond butter and jelly bars!
The Undercover Cook — July 25, 2011 @ 6:16 PM
I absolutely love almond butter! Never use peanut butter anymore. I just used it to make Frozen chocolate almond butter banana bites. My next almond butter dish is going to be a almond butter brownie.
Samantha Edwards — July 25, 2011 @ 6:24 PM
I would love to try this almond butter with chocolate!!! Looks yummy!!!
Lorraine Camire — July 25, 2011 @ 6:38 PM
So great you posted a healthy recipe using Almond Butter instead of Peanut Butter….. Can’t wait to try the recipe!!!
Sarah — July 25, 2011 @ 6:44 PM

LaNan Bedwell — July 25, 2011 @ 6:58 PM
These look delish! Would love to try them out.
Judy H. — July 25, 2011 @ 7:08 PM
Would love to spread some on a slice of homemade bread fresh out of the oven!
Marty — July 25, 2011 @ 7:11 PM
Almond Butter Buckeyes is what I’d make. Deeeee-licious!
Michelle @ Brown Eyed Baker — July 25, 2011 @ 7:33 PM
What a fabulous idea! I love almond butter, I bet these are delicious.
Alicia — July 25, 2011 @ 7:58 PM
That looks so delicious!! I would never have thought to make almond butter cups!
Tracey @ The Kitchen is My Playground — July 25, 2011 @ 7:59 PM
I would love to eat it just plain on a spoon!! But I also make peanut butter protein balls … would love to give almond butter protein balls a shot.
Margaret — July 25, 2011 @ 8:00 PM
Those look awesome – I’d make some for sure.
Laura — July 25, 2011 @ 8:40 PM
Ooh sounds yummy, I wonder if I could use it as a substitute for peanut butter In peanut butter cookies. I definitely could use this
Cathy — July 25, 2011 @ 8:44 PM
I would love to try and make some cookies – it looks so creamy and yummy!
Chris at Hye Thyme Cafe — July 25, 2011 @ 8:56 PM
Hmmm, what immediately comes to mind is incorporating it into a Hummus, or using it with Nutella in crepes or tortilla wraps. Whatever you pair it with, it sounds delicious! Love your candies.
Iona B-B — July 25, 2011 @ 9:48 PM
I absolutely love peanut butter and have tried cashew nut butter once which was real good too. As I love peanut butter and chocolate cupcakes, I think I would probably make almond butter and chocolate cupcakes with an almond butter frosting
yum!! And obviously I’m definitely going to have a go at making these too!
Jen — July 25, 2011 @ 9:51 PM
I would definitely try this recipe, but also use it in my smoothies and use it to replace the peanut butter in a terrific peanut butter banana muffin recipe I found!
AmyG — July 25, 2011 @ 10:00 PM
I make smoothies in the morning that I’d love to try this with!
Rebecca — July 25, 2011 @ 10:30 PM
I would love to try Barney Butter in a granola recipe I have that calls for it as part of the “wet ingredients” portion to be added to the dry ingredients before baking!
Heather — July 25, 2011 @ 10:41 PM
Love almond butter!! Would use it in our homemade granola bars!!
Sara L — July 25, 2011 @ 11:49 PM
mmmmm almond butter!!!!! how about a grilled almond butter and banana sandwich…yum!
Katrina — July 26, 2011 @ 1:15 AM
I would make some almond butter cookies with my new nut butter! Great giveaway!
Ilene — July 26, 2011 @ 3:10 AM
First I’d eat a big spoonful out of the jar and then I’d try your almond butter cups.
Realtor by dya, Chef by night — July 26, 2011 @ 3:54 AM
I love the idea of having these as my secret stash and just eating them right out of the freezer! Yum…
Marisa Cibirka — July 26, 2011 @ 4:05 AM
Have you ever had a grilled PB&J sandwich? The peanut butter gets all warm and gooey! I would swap out the PB with the almond butter. Can’t wait to try it.
Laurel — July 26, 2011 @ 4:08 AM
I haven’t tried Barney Butter, we buy from our local Publix who fresh grinds peanuts, so there is no additives – the kids snub thier noses most of the time though so we keep a spare jar of Jif in the cabinet for them. (sue me)
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) — July 26, 2011 @ 4:17 AM
Mmm, I love almond butter! Can only imagine how tasty it’d be in those chocolate cups.
Linda — July 26, 2011 @ 4:28 AM
I would like to try their almond butter. My son has peanut allergies and we buy our almond butter through Costco. But, it is the kind like you mentioned – you have to stir it up. I was just wishing for an almond butter that you don’t have to stir!! This would totally fit the bill
LauraN — July 26, 2011 @ 4:39 AM
I have never seen Barney Butter! Looks yummy! If I win I want to try your almond butter cups!
Suzi B — July 26, 2011 @ 4:40 AM
This sounds yummy. I would definitely spread this on a whole wheat english muffin and top with banana slices and cinnamon!
Laura P. — July 26, 2011 @ 4:40 AM
Chocolate and peanut butter is my favorite combo! I would love to make these:)
Donna C — July 26, 2011 @ 4:46 AM
I eat low lo-carb and my go-to breakfast is a very thin slice of homemade whole wheat toast slathered with nut butter such as almond, cashew, sunflower… It keeps me going all morning.
Marisa — July 26, 2011 @ 4:49 AM
I would love to make “Barney Butter” cookies for my nephew. He has peanut allergy and has never tasted a peanut butter sandwich/cookie, I’m betting “Barney” cookies would be just as tasty!
Angela — July 26, 2011 @ 5:08 AM
I would make your recipe. I make treats for my sons lunch table and I’m sure they would love these! Thanks for the recipe.
elizabeth — July 26, 2011 @ 5:28 AM
First, I would eat this right out of the jar,, then if any is left, I would swirl some in some blonde brownies. Yum! I would definately smear some on toast too!
Heather — July 26, 2011 @ 5:31 AM
Thank you so much for posting this! My daughter is highly allergic to peanuts so I am always trying to find recipes that I can try and substitute peanut butter for. I would love to see an almond butter pie recipe similar to the peanut butter pie recipes.
Thanks again!!
Valerie — July 26, 2011 @ 5:38 AM
I would def make these cups – just with dark chocolate instead of milk!
Gwyn — July 26, 2011 @ 5:39 AM

Hey Girl, I bet the almond butter would be great paired with some cream cheese and spread on a toasted bagel????
Tracey — July 26, 2011 @ 5:55 AM
Barney on marshmallows. with or without the graham cracker! Ok, lets add chocolate to it too!
MichelleH — July 26, 2011 @ 6:04 AM
I would love to have almond butter that doesn’t separate! Your cups look amazing. I would definitely try them, pancakes, and my kids would be all over a dollop in oatmeal.
Patsy Behrendt — July 26, 2011 @ 6:06 AM
All of these recipes sound fantastic but one of our favorite snacks for the kids was always peanut butter on Vanilla wafers! I would have to make a handful of those and I always share with the bulldogs in my house while we sit on the deck and watch the squirrels! I love almonds better than peanuts so this sounds amazing to me. The possibilities are endless!! Thanks to you and Barney Butter for offering this prize.
Stephanie — July 26, 2011 @ 6:15 AM
I would use Barney Butter to prove to my roommate she DOES like almond butter. I will use this recipe because she is addicted to PB cups! Thanks!!
Terri Michalenko — July 26, 2011 @ 6:19 AM

Sunnie in NC
oregonjudy — July 26, 2011 @ 6:46 AM
My daughter has a peanut allergy so we could use this to make almost anything with peanut butter since it’s been sadly missing in our menu.
Irene — July 26, 2011 @ 6:46 AM
LUV LUV LUV ALMOND BUTTER

Definitely would love to try the almond butter cups recipe, but I think amond butter cookies would be super yummy,too!
Beth — July 26, 2011 @ 6:54 AM
Almond butter thumbprint cookies with a dollop of raspberry jam in the middle sound delicious!
Kristy H — July 26, 2011 @ 7:02 AM
I will definitely try these. However, I would use dark chocolate and crunchy almond butter. Thanks for another yummy recipe!
Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! — July 26, 2011 @ 7:05 AM
Wow, these almond butter cups look amazing! I’d love to try making these or perhaps maybe some s’mores with almond butter…chocolate, marshmallows, graham cracker, AND almond butter? Yes, please!

I definitely would make these almond butter cups. Yummy!
Missy — July 26, 2011 @ 7:26 AM
My goodness. I would try this on with everything, wraps with bananas, pancakes, on apples add to cookie/protein bar recipes. The Almond Butter Cups are a must-try, too!
Lyndsi Weise — July 26, 2011 @ 7:29 AM
I’ve never thought to do almond butter cups- looks awesome!
Randi Johnson — July 26, 2011 @ 7:35 AM

I would make some almond butter cookies, and definitely try your recipe too- these look fantastic!
Jennie — July 26, 2011 @ 7:46 AM
I love almond butter, but have never tried Barney. I’d like to add it to my oat bran (along with bananas, sea salt, and honey).
Mollie — July 26, 2011 @ 7:48 AM
I would just dunk a spoon in!
Rt — July 26, 2011 @ 7:54 AM
Omg! I’ve always wanted to try almond butter- yummy! I’d love to add it to my oats in the morning or eat it straight out of the jar!
Debbie — July 26, 2011 @ 7:56 AM
I love Almond Butter and would love to try Barney’s. I have been wanting to try using Almond Butter in a family recipe that uses peanut butter. They are called Peanut Butter Crinkles and are similar to Peanut Butter Blossoms. I think that they would be great with the Almond Butter!
Maura — July 26, 2011 @ 7:57 AM
I would spread my almond butter on apples and sprinkle with cinnamon! Or I would just eat it…
Jamie — July 26, 2011 @ 8:01 AM
I would make those Almond Butter cups! PB cups are my fave and this recipe intrigues me and looks delicious!
Michelle Harrison — July 26, 2011 @ 8:08 AM

mmm…almond butter cups…If I won, I would definitely make the almond butter cups recipe and also some satay sauce!
Megan — July 26, 2011 @ 8:20 AM
I don’t believe it would actually last long enough to make it into a recipe – I’d probably just eat it with a spoon
Katie — July 26, 2011 @ 8:23 AM
I would love to use the almond butter as a replacement for peanut butter in my peanut butter and banana sandwich I eat everyday! yum!
Marilyn — July 26, 2011 @ 8:33 AM
Almond butter hot fudge milk shakes come to mind. Or chocolate ice cream w/ almond butter – love the chocolate/AB combination. Also good right out of the jar w/ apple sections. What’s not to like?
Merideathx — July 26, 2011 @ 8:35 AM
Almond butter for the WIN! The mother of my best friend growing up used to make homemade peanut butter cups at Christmas time, and they were pure heaven! I am certain they could ONLY be improved with the use of almond butter. Cheers!
Rebecca — July 26, 2011 @ 8:35 AM
I want to see how it tastes with chocolate!
Katie Hart — July 26, 2011 @ 8:43 AM
I’d love to try some of this in almond butter cookies instead of peanut butter cookies. I might even make a chocolately spread to sandwich in between two cookies!
Pat R — July 26, 2011 @ 8:45 AM
I would make the peanut butter cups since they are my favorite candy, but I’d like to try the peanut butter in a satay marinade,
Lindsay — July 26, 2011 @ 8:55 AM
Peanut Butter Brownies!!!
Alicia — July 26, 2011 @ 9:03 AM
Wow, these look amazing! I can think of so many desserts to make, how about a frozen pie with a cookie crust and drizzled with dark chocolate! So refreshing during this heat wave, my mouth is watering!
Sarah — July 26, 2011 @ 9:06 AM
those look amazing!!
I think with AB I would make almond butter oatmeal cookies. I’ve been on an oatmeal cookie craze lately! Maybe fill them with blueberry jam…? Oooh..this is sounding good..
jess — July 26, 2011 @ 9:12 AM
I’d use it on pancakes and in granola.
Babs — July 26, 2011 @ 9:13 AM
Almonds are a really healthy snack, so it stands to reason almond butter with apples would be delicious.
Cynthia Flores — July 26, 2011 @ 9:20 AM
First of all, I love Barney’s Almond Butter. I have it every morning with a toasted bread! Besides that, what other simple breakfast meal can I make in the mornings with Barney’s Butter???
Christina — July 26, 2011 @ 9:21 AM
Yum!! i love Reece’s cups. I would love to try these.
leanne — July 26, 2011 @ 9:25 AM
Well, those little squeeze packets would probably just go straight into my mouth, but I think a smooth almond butter would make a good dip for my afternoon snack of slice apples. I can swap out of the almonds for almond butter!
Melany — July 26, 2011 @ 9:25 AM
I would try to make some oatmeal peanut butter cookies with the almond butter or I would sub the almond butter for peanut butter in my chocolate peanut butter pie. It looks awesome!
tcmaryf — July 26, 2011 @ 9:26 AM
A triple almond cheesecake for sureand my new fav, my peanut butter cookies reinvented as almond butter cookies
Mary — July 26, 2011 @ 9:27 AM
cookies, cookies and more cookies. Nom
Emily380 — July 26, 2011 @ 9:27 AM
Since developing an intolerance to peanuts, I’ve wondered about recreating the peanut butter cup with almond butter. But, I’ve never found a butter that seemed smooth enough to pull it off. I think this Barney butter fits the bill perfectly! Bravo!
Laurie K. — July 26, 2011 @ 9:30 AM
I’d love to get in on this.
Now that I said that, I just want to say… I will definitely be trying this recipe. My sister-in-law is allergic to peanuts and lives on almond butter from Wholefoods. So this might be a nice little treat for her =)
Monika — July 26, 2011 @ 9:39 AM
I would make these for sure with it and use it in my peanut butter bread recipe as well, making it an almond butter bread. YUM!
Emilee — July 26, 2011 @ 9:55 AM
I would try everything with it! Those almond butter cups look divine and I’d definitely make some cookies. I can’t eat peanut butter while I’m pregnant and I keep trying to find an almond butter that will be a satisfactory subsitute. Whether I win or not, I’m definitely giving this brand a try. Thanks for spotlighting it!
Marella V — July 26, 2011 @ 10:02 AM

What a good idea! I have enjoyed almond butter cups before but haven’t tried making my own yet.
Rachel — July 26, 2011 @ 10:24 AM
My daughter and I both have peanut allergies and have grown tired of sunflower butters and the horrible alternatives that require constant mixing!
Your almond butter cups look heavenly by the way!
Natalie — July 26, 2011 @ 10:32 AM

Linda T. — July 26, 2011 @ 10:56 AM
I’ve been wanting to try almond butter on grilled asparagus, and on bagels, and in Biscotti, and on pancakes and waffles, and dinner biscuits.
Tracy — July 26, 2011 @ 11:00 AM
I’m totally trying these with SunButter. YUM!
Stephanie R. — July 26, 2011 @ 11:09 AM
I’d like to try and make my husband’s grandma’s peanut butter ball recipe with it…and maybe some thai noodles!!
Sara — July 26, 2011 @ 11:43 AM

Almond butter is my fave! I’d rather have almond over peanut butter. I can’t wait to try almond butter cups!
Kristen — July 26, 2011 @ 12:15 PM
Almond Butter Cups and AB&J!
nicole — July 26, 2011 @ 12:24 PM
i’d definitely use the almond butter for an almond butter with jelly sandwich!
Sarah V — July 26, 2011 @ 12:29 PM
I’d make almond butter and banana sandwiches and those almond butter cups!
Sara M — July 26, 2011 @ 12:31 PM
I’m thinking it will be a great addition to a smoothie!!
Julie — July 26, 2011 @ 12:41 PM
I absolutely LOVE Barney’s almond butter. I would make an almond butter, strawberry and honey sandwich in a toasted wheat pita. Yummm….
ali robinson — July 26, 2011 @ 12:49 PM
I’ve actually never had almond butter. I’ve always wanted to try it. I would make almond butter bars… Oreo crust, almond butter center and topped with chocolate ganache.
Sara — July 26, 2011 @ 12:50 PM
Mmmmm! I’m a Reese’s junkie, but these sound good and easy to make! I can see using dark chocolate chips!
dee — July 26, 2011 @ 12:51 PM
oh I would love to try the almond butter cups, yum!
Caroline @ chocolate and carrots — July 26, 2011 @ 12:53 PM
Well, I’ve only tried Earthfare’s almond butter that you churn out in front of you and I didn’t care too much for the texture. The Barney butter looks so smooth!
I’d make some smooth and tasty peanut butter frosting and frost up some gluten free chocolate cupcakes. Yum!!!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Tammy Fertig — July 26, 2011 @ 12:57 PM
I absolutely LOVE almond butter! Would love to try Barney Butter because I hate that mine separates and that I have to keep stirring it — messy!
Tom — July 26, 2011 @ 12:58 PM
I would LOVE to surprise my saturday afternoon group with those almond butter cups! Hope I win!
Tom L — July 26, 2011 @ 12:59 PM
My daughter has loved spreading almond butter on apple slices since she was a toddler. Delish!
Tracy — July 26, 2011 @ 1:01 PM
These almond-butter cups look awfully tempting. But I might just be lazy and put it on a tartine with peach jam every morning for breakfast.
Faith — July 26, 2011 @ 1:03 PM
If I win, I would love to make your almond cups. But I would also love to make peanut butter eggs and then just to eat it out of the jar. Yum yum yum.
I love Barney butter. And it is really good on a piece of homemade toast.
Lindsay @CookVeganLover — July 26, 2011 @ 1:12 PM
I would love to try Barney Butter with my oatmeal
Sandra — July 26, 2011 @ 1:13 PM
I would definitely be trying these Almond Butter Cups! PB cups are my favorite and I do like almond butter … so these look and sound AMAZING!
Melissa — July 26, 2011 @ 1:16 PM
What a lovely giveaway! I hate mixing peanut butter together!
I’d definitely have to give your almond butter cups a go, but I’d likely make myself a lot of almond butter sandwiches. I have peanut butter sandwiches every day for lunch, so almond butter would be super fancy!
Sarah Levin — July 26, 2011 @ 1:19 PM
yummy!
Stacy (Little Blue Hen) — July 26, 2011 @ 1:23 PM
Ooh, I love love love almond butter. I eat it on apple slices or drizzled on my oatmeal in the morning. I’d be willing to try your chocolate almond butter cups, though!

I love almond butter & barney butter is the best!
Amanda — July 26, 2011 @ 1:28 PM

Abby B — July 26, 2011 @ 1:31 PM
This recipe sounds amazing! I’d make these
Shanna C — July 26, 2011 @ 1:44 PM

LeAnne — July 26, 2011 @ 2:29 PM
I definitely would make these Almond Butter Cups. I love Reese cups, but homemade (without peanuts) would be even better!
Cat — July 26, 2011 @ 2:39 PM
Ohhhh, almond butter ‘n apples sounds so simple and boring, but it is my FAVorite. Here in VT, we’ll be having our apple crop come in within another month or so, and it’s pretty much all I’ll be eating. Yum!
Melinda — July 26, 2011 @ 2:56 PM

My son is allergic to peanuts to I love the idea of making ‘peanut butter’ recipes with almond butter!!!! I will have to make some almond butter cookies for him!
Priya — July 26, 2011 @ 5:42 PM
I’d put the almond butter on english muffins, and then sprinkle them with cacao nibs!
AnnieJ — July 26, 2011 @ 5:46 PM
I have never tried Almond Butter … but I am willing!! I might treat it like peanute butter until I figure out exactly what it taste like. I love to make cookies …. I bet I could use it in any recipie I would use peanut butter in.

Lori — July 26, 2011 @ 6:25 PM
i love barney butter! i searched for years to find a decent alternative to peanut butter when we found out my son was allergic to peanuts. barney butter was the only one that even came close. since the day i found it, i’ve eaten none other. i eat it with pretty much anything, but my favorite snack is barney butter with banana.
Harmony — July 26, 2011 @ 6:43 PM
I would love to eat this straight out of the jar. Yummy!
Wofford — July 26, 2011 @ 7:08 PM
Cant find it here in SC, but I’d definitely pair it with a southern staple…
Cornbread!!
I’ll sneak some PB & honey on it from time to time, but give me some BB and let’s make East meet West!
Pamela — July 26, 2011 @ 8:02 PM

My mom actually makes a variation of peanut butter oatmeal cookies but with almond butter. I’d love to give that a try!
Tamara — July 26, 2011 @ 10:54 PM
I would like to try using this in my buckeyes. Buckeyes are peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate to look like a buckeye.
Stefanie — July 26, 2011 @ 10:55 PM
I would definitely want to make these almond cups, plus probably some almond butter cookies with chocolate chips! Sounds delicious!
Kristen M. — July 26, 2011 @ 11:13 PM
Not too exciting but I love almond butter with celery.
Tasha — July 26, 2011 @ 11:37 PM
I’ve been allergic to peanuts for as long as I can remember, so I would use the almond butter for everything you peanut-eaters use peanut butter for — sandwiches, cookies, and of course, these delicious almond butter cups. Mmm, I’ve always wanted to try a Reese’s.
Kris Dahlin — July 27, 2011 @ 3:17 AM
I can’t wait to try these almond butter cups! I also can’t wait to try some other yummy treats with the almond butter.

I want to try making almond butter cookies. I think they’ll be fantastic!
Michelle — July 27, 2011 @ 6:59 AM
I’d like to try some almond butter cookies, instead of the usual pb variety. Though, your almond butter cups are pretty wonderful too!
Pam — July 27, 2011 @ 7:05 AM
I love nut butters and so does my husband, except for peanut butter. I would love to try this almond butter because we love almond butter and it would be wonderfully enjoyed at this house!
Chantell — July 27, 2011 @ 7:28 AM
I loooovvvvvveeeeee almond butter !!!!!!
Anna — July 27, 2011 @ 7:49 AM
I would most definitely want to try those almond butter cups!! Yummmm! I also love to have almond butter on a organic flax or hemp waffle in the morning- with a light drizzle of agave or honey.
Happy Dishing!!
Caroline Wasko — July 27, 2011 @ 7:50 AM
my husband makes a phenomenal peanut butter pie that i’d love to use the barney butter in!
RecipeGirl's Mom — July 27, 2011 @ 8:22 AM
I was fortunate to be visiting my daughter when she made this treat that is not only scrumptious but gluten free. Thank you RecipeGirl for a new addition to my GF file. LOVE
Hannah Kinley — July 27, 2011 @ 8:39 AM
I would probably most like eating the almond butter straight out of the jar but as far as creating something…an almond chocolate milkshake sounds amazing. Topped with whipped cream and almond shaving and mini chocolate chips!
Nicole Shugars — July 27, 2011 @ 10:04 AM
My sister turned me onto almond butter a while ago but this looks AWESOME. Would love to try!
Kelli Reppert — July 27, 2011 @ 10:10 AM
My favorite Peanut Butter treat is a Banana S’more so I think I would try that. you take a banana, lay it on its side, skin on. cut a “V” in it length wise spread some peanut butter…err almond butter in there. Take 3 pieces of hershey bar and stuff it in the Butter. put the skin back on. wrap in foil, put really close to the campfire and wait til warm. eat with a spoon….mmmmm!
Ellen — July 27, 2011 @ 10:50 AM
Almond butter swirl frozen yogurt? Or maybe almond butter cup frozen yogurt
Jessi Thompson — July 27, 2011 @ 10:51 AM
I would love to make Spanish Almond Chicken. I saw the recipe on Sheknows.com. Great blog!

Eat it right out of the jar. with a big spoon. and a glass of ice cold milk
Rieke — July 27, 2011 @ 11:58 AM
I would make a banana-papaya-almond butter smoothie!
Stephanie — July 27, 2011 @ 11:58 AM
I’ve never tried almond butter before…it would first have to pass a quick spoon test for me (I usually just eat my peanut butter out of the jar…please tell me I’m not the only one!)
Dee — July 27, 2011 @ 12:54 PM
the classic way – in a sandwich with some strawberry jelly!
Jamie G — July 27, 2011 @ 1:08 PM
I love almond butter added to frozen and blended bananas with some stevia…oh my, talk about a yummy but healthy ice cream knock off!
Rebecca — July 27, 2011 @ 2:41 PM
One of the things I’ve missed most in the years since I stopped eating peanut butter is the joys of a good peanut butter cup. Considering the prevalence of peanut allergies and sensitivities, I hope that some candy company will take up the cause of us other nut eaters
In the meantime, I will have to try this recipe for myself…
Amanda Jasinski — July 27, 2011 @ 3:18 PM
Oh my goodness, these look delicious!
Joanie from CLBB — July 27, 2011 @ 4:10 PM
Aw, your mom likes them, too! I love almond butter, use it on my sunflower bread for breakfast almost daily. Thanks for such a great blog/site, have followed you from the CL BB years ago.
Thank you!
joanie

Yvette N. — July 27, 2011 @ 8:57 PM
I think I would make a batch of Almond Butter Oatmeal cookies if I won.
Your almond butter cups look delightful. Wonder how they would be
swirled in some Vanilla Ice Cream?
Jamie — July 27, 2011 @ 9:24 PM
My son is allergic to peanuts so we’re always looking for alternate ideas. These look yummy & we’ll be trying them soon.

After an almond-butter lollipop (scoop on a spoon) I’d love to try out interesting sandwich combinations and I might add it to cereal.
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh — July 28, 2011 @ 8:29 AM

Wow! These sound sooooo good. I think I’ll just eat mine with a spoon.
Jessica — July 29, 2011 @ 5:44 AM
I would try it on toast for breakfast first. I’ve always wanted to try Almond Butter but haven’t bought any. This is the perfect opportunity!
Lindseygirl — July 29, 2011 @ 6:38 AM
We are just starting on the GF journey and experimenting with almond butter. A favorite of mine is almond butter in a smoothie with frozen cherries, almond milk, banana, ground flax, and ice cubes blended til smooth. Yum!
Rose-Lynn Jackson — July 29, 2011 @ 7:15 AM
I would definitely have to make almond butter balls out of this! They would be awesome with a big glass of ice cold milk!

Kathy Richardson — July 29, 2011 @ 4:58 PM
I went to http://www.barneybutter.com/ to order some almond butter and got the error message that Almond20 was not a valid promo code. Just thought you might want to know.

I would love some almond butter! I love it on wheat toast as a post workout snack. I’d probably have to make some almond butter cups too because I wouldn’t be able to resist.
Stacy — July 30, 2011 @ 10:17 AM
Almond butter cups, of course!! Those look yummy. My other favorite thing to do with Almond butter is load it up on a spoon and then take a handful of chocolate chips and cover the almond butter in chocolate chips. Then just eat it off the spoon! It’s the lazy girl’s almond butter cup!
Marilyn — July 30, 2011 @ 10:27 AM
Anything with chocolate and nut butter is fabulous.

ta1130 — July 30, 2011 @ 8:34 PM
I just bought some Barney Butter from Whole Foods and as my almond butter cups are cooling, I am thinking of all the yummies I can make with a cool basket of the stuff.
Jen — July 31, 2011 @ 12:10 AM
I would really like to make your almond butter cups and put them in the freezer for a rainy day. On any other day, I would put it on crackers or on apple slices for a snack, or make an almond butter waffle sandwich with apple slices for breakfast. Or for dinner make an almond butter sauce to dip chicken satay in…the possibilities are endless!
Kelly Phillips — July 31, 2011 @ 5:37 AM
These look incredible and I’ve been wanting to try Barney Butter!

Pamela Erickson — August 6, 2011 @ 7:55 PM
I make a version of these every Valentine’s Day for my family. Since my daughter- in-law can’t have soy , I use Enjoy Your life chocolate chips. Would love to try Barney Butter.

There is no place to put the promo code on the Barney Butter website, so no discount.

I believe that they have the same promo offered on their site, so when you check out you will get the same discount.
