    Both. Seriously.

    I have maple almond butter and Jiff whipped chocolate peanut butter in my fridge right now along with a couple different types of peanut butter in my pantry.

    Also both. As far as nutrition goes, they are pretty similar with a slight nod to almond butter because of better fats (OTOH, there is more total fat). I like them for different things. Almond butter I like on bread and crackers, but I prefer peanut butter with bananas or apples.

    Almond butter is lovely - dont be scared!

    Nutella is vile, imo, far too sweet and sticky. And very little nutritionally to justify it.

    I love both but seriously the Justin's vanilla almond butter and maranatha maple almond butter are both amazing and way too addictive.

    Have you tried peanut butter on toast with apples on top? I prefer the green apples and it's so delicious as a pre-work out snack!!

    I like almonds more than peanuts, but almond butter is so expensive I just can't bring myself to buy it. I am going to try to get a food processor for Christmas and then I'll start making my own nut butters.

    This is what I do. As for me, here's what I like the most:

    1. Macadamia/Walnut butter (50/50 mix).
    2. Almond Butter (100%, roasted)
    3. Walnut Butter (raw)
    4. Peanut Butter (roasted)

    Those are the ones I've made. I want to try a 100% macadamia, which I'm sure will feel like god himself sent it down from the heavens.

    I also just discovered almond butter - much tastier than peanut butter - nothing added in this almond butter! It's just lovely.

    I would not be able to live in your house haha, PB is dangerous lol
    I prefer PB to AB but it could've been the brand I bought of AB

    OP, aren't you not supposed to have sugar?
    Unless you're buying the natural nut butters where the ingredient list is just "nuts", most companies add sugar to their nut butters...

    Don't be scared to try almond butter. It's good, though I prefer peanut butter personally. I like almonds in almond form.

    You ever have Macadmia Nut butter? You'll forget peanut butter even existed.

    I might make a mix of Macadamia and Peanut, and try that.

    Love almond, but cashews and peanut are great too. I buy the sugar free nut butters.

    Almond butter is delicious, but tends to be drier compared to peanut butter brands like Jif. I've only seen it in "natural" styles, so it's comparable to "natural" style peanut butters. A little milder in flavor, but can be used in just about all the same applications.

    I just hold a torch for the Macadamia, which I find the be the most delicious of all the nut kingdom. I feel strongly about this. :laugh:

    Jiff has a version of that now, too. Do you have Jiff where you live?

    I put the Dark Chocolate Dreams in my fruit smoothies. Mmmmm.

    Nutella is so yummy, but SO bad for you. Read the labels, you'll be shocked. It's like eating a straight up candy bar.
