Oh my, you are in for a treat…
I mean, everyone loves peanut butter, right? Well, imagine the best peanut butter you’ve ever tasted then add some chocolate and a caffeine-kick and you’re half way towards imagining how awesome this mocha almond butter is.
It transforms an english muffin, perks up boring old toast and even gives your cookies a kick and I’m going to tell you how to make your very own jar of this speckled nectar!
Not only can you use it just like peanut butter, you can also dress it up in a pretty jar and label and give it away as a present (If you can bare to part with it, that is!) I sent a jar to my Foodie Pen Pal last month and he referred to it as “that totally fantastic awesome scrumptious mocha almond butter. I used a little on some toasted home made brioche with a touch of coffee cream as a dessert. Heaven.” That reminds me, I must try it on brioche…
So, enough bigging myself (and my nuts) up, time for the recipe.
RECIPE: Mocha Almond Butter 
Ingredients
2cups whole almonds
2tbsp honey (or maple syrup, if you prefer or you are vegan!) 2tbsp ground coffee (the real stuff, not instant!) 1tsp vanilla extract 1tbsp cocoa powder 1/4tsp salt

P.S. I know it seems like I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for almonds so far, but that’s just a coincidence. I promise the next post will not have an almond in sight!

Yum again, keep the almond recipes coming I say! Blogger question – which widget or whatever do you use for the drop down recipe index? Is it easy to do? Thanks!
I followed some instructions from a wonderful, lovely lady here: http://www.tinnedtomatoes.com/2012/01/how-to-add-recipe-index-to-your-blog.html (I'm sure she will read this ;))
Fabulous, thanks to you and Jac 🙂
Sorry I should have said to you sooner Fanny!
Loving this butter. I've been meaning to make some homemade nutella for ages, the hazelnuts are just sitting there waiting. I must and nice photos BTW x
Thanks! Look forward to seeing the homemade nutella. I guess you were subconsciously waiting for your Optimum 9400 before making it! 😉
Oh wow sees. This is such a brilliant idea. I was thinking about making a coconut cashew butter. Any tips most welcome! Especially which setting you have froothie at?
