    My favorite nut butter is almond butter, but peanut butter always takes me back to happy memories as a child! 🙂

    Raw macadamia butter is my absolute favorite, although I use far more raw almond butter (from Italy, since American almonds are almost always pasteurized).

    It’s so hard to choose because all nut butters bring something unique to the table. Depending upon what it is you are creating, of course. But, peanut butter remains a strong favorite simply because it is tied so tightly to childhood memories of summer picnics on the lawn in the backyard while sitting under a wonderful Weeping Willow Tree. Magical! And, it always goes well with chocolate!

    My favorite nut butter is really hard to say considering that I love so many. I suppose I’ll say pecan.
