I basically had dessert for lunch today and it was fabulous.

The generous people over at Naturally Nutty sent me a couple of their famous nut butters to sample and review.

Each of their Naturally Nutty Nut Butters contain no Trans Fats, Hydronated Oils, or Cholesterol, while offering the additional health benefits of added Hemp Seed and Flax Seed. Each ingredient list is short and sweet, listing items I can pronounce and recognize.

When asked the select which flavors I was most interested in trying I was overwhelmed by all of the many wonderful flavors but eventually decided the Vanilla Almond Butter and Chocolate Toffee Peanut Butter were calling my name. I was stoked when the packaged arrived with the addition of the Regular Toffee Butter Peanut Butter as well.

I decided to sample each flavor as part of my lunch today. Slathering a little bit of each on their own slice of toast with a Strawberry Topper.

Vanilla Almond Butter

This vanilla almond butter has been described as "heavenly indulgence"! Why? Because it is our natural almond butter with pure vanilla powder that comes together perfectly!

I knew this one was going to be my favorite which is why I gave the nut butter its own piece of toast. Boy I was right, this was good! It was the perfect amount of vanilla in the almond butter to give it just a hint of flavoring without going over the top. It was also very cream and easy to stir yet had a bit of crumbliness to it that made me know the nuts were freshly ground before packaging.

Toffee Butter Peanut Butter

Watch out….you will get hooked! This has been our best seller to date and is a favorite for kids. Your definition of "kid" may vary! Butter Toffee peanut butter is smooth with a little sugar and a little salt. You should probably order by the case!

I can see why the Toffee Butter is a favorite! Its rich, sweet and a really good treat. As with all the nut butters I sampled, they reminded me of dessert. I can easily see topping these on cookies, ice cream or even trying them in my morning cereal.

Chocolate Butter Toffee Peanut Butter

Gourmet milk chocolate plus our famous Butter Toffee Peanut Butter equals singing and skipping with friends and strangers! (you will understand after you try it)  We never thought we would have to make so much of this stuff!

Now this peanut butter was treat! The perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter that had me licking every last drop off of the knife and my hands. Another dessert item I can’t wait to sample in other ways. The only down size to the this particular one was the longer ingredient list then the others.

So there is my review these nut butters are great and if you are looking to change up your typical nut butter routine I highly suggest checking out Naturally Nutty Almond Butter and Peanut Butters! They have a great sample pack for sale for a very reasonable price so you have the option to sample many of their wonderful flavors.

On the side of my lunch I had 2 whole Carrots and Apple slices, which I dipped in a dollop of each of my Naturally Nutty Nut Butters.

Oh yea, these make for killer apple dipping!

Unfortunately as great as my lunch truly was it did not give me a full feeling at all, which meant I would be diving into my afternoon snack before I sat back at my desk, so I had a small serving of Vegan Tamale Pie to fill my belly up.

And before my great lunch I also had a serving of Peanuts as a mid morning snack.

I can not Thank You guys enough for all of your generosity concerning the bake sale! I have contacted about half of the highest bidders and will continue to contact more as the afternoon moves on.
