I have developed an allergy to some nuts. Almonds don't affect me. I can have some, once in a while. I don't think almond butter is better than any other nut butter. I, too, like marzipan, but I have to be careful with sugar.

Peter Pan for me, when I want peanut butter. This is not like the "natural" peanut butter that has no salt nor sugar, and to my mind tastes awful—though the grandkids like it. So it is somewhat sweet, but like peanut butter, not like marzipan, so lack of sweetness is probably part of my problem. But mostly it is lack of almond flavor.

Diane, since peanuts are also from plants, what makes almond butter better in your mind? Does it taste like almonds to you?

P.S. The production of palm oil is problematic. https://wordpress.clarku.edu/id125-envpro/2016/11/01/the-harming-results-of-palm-oil-plantations/

Almond butter is good. It has protein, but lots of fat. When I use it, I eat it by itself. I don't stir the oil in. I pour it off. I like foods that come from plants.

My guess is that you were expecting something sweeter?

To me, almond butter and natural peanut butter are not that tasty and they are a pain in the neck to use - thick and you have to mix in the oil. They tell you to stir it, but I found that extremely difficult to do. I always made a mess because the oil comes up near to the brim of the jar. Unless someone can explain to me what I am doing wrong, I have given up.

I suppose you can get used to and even like the flavor, but I think I'll stay with Skippy.
