I like to have a variety of nut butters available to eat at any given time. As of last night, there were six open jars in my kitchen. I’m not going to tell you how many unopened jars are in the cabinets. Let’s just say that I invest in peanut butter like some people invest in the stock market. At the rate the market is going these days, I think I’m the smart one.
Some time between last night and this morning, I decided that six jars of nut butter just weren’t going to cut it. Time to make a new one! And of course a dessert-y nut butter would be appropriate.
Have you ever dipped an Oreo into peanut butter? No? Okay, go try it, now. And then buy bigger pants. Have you ever dipped an Oreo into almond butter? I hadn’t either, but it seemed like a good idea. It seemed like an even better idea to merge the two foods though. Oreo cookies in my almond butter? That’s right.
