    Better how? They both contain comparable amounts of calories, protein, fat and carbs per serving. Personally, I eat both. It just depends on my mood.

    Peanut butter is safe to have in the house. The same cannot be said of almond butter.

    Pretty much this...

    I get little enjoyment from almond butter...

    Oh god, yes.

    Altho I actually prefer sunflower seed butter to all of the above.

    Like both but prefer almond. Also enjoy cashew butter. Better for you? Depends on how much you eat, plus if there is any added sugar or salt (unnecessary for my tastes).

    The sunflower seed butter truly is the best. I have a hard time finding it, though.

    I've never heard of this. Definitely adding it to this weekend's shopping list!

    If I had to choose one: almond butter. But they are both good.

    No. No. No. You are wrong. Justin's Honey Peanut Butter is the best.

    Carry on. :D

    They are both dangerous for me to be around. Particularly raw almond butter. Pure crack.

    Currently, I have peanut butter, cashew butter and sunflower butter in the house. I alternate between cashew and almond. I always have peanut and sunflower. Variety is the spice of life.

    I'd eat either one sparingly, but I think almond butter

    I'm trying to lower my cholesterol so I tend to eat almond butter. They were on my recommended food list.

    Both, preferably on a spoon, dipped in chocolate chips

    I prefer peanut butter for making sandwiches, but I prefer almond butter for making cookies. :)

    I don't really like nut butters, much prefer whole nuts, but nutrition-wise I think it doesn't matter.

    Trader Joe's Sunflower Nut butter for the win!     cashew nut butter is tasty too..

    Pistachio butter. I found it once at a farmer's market, and now I make it myself. Just toss pistachios in the food processor.
