Justin's Natural Hazelnut Butter Chocolate -- 16 oz

BLEND. NOT SPREAD.
First of all this is a blend (there is that tiny word on the label) of almond and hazelnut, so the taste is only remotely reminiscent of regular hazelnut/chocolate.
Eventually , one can get used to the taste and many will appreciate the easy on the sugar part.
Since nuts and nut oils become rancid fairly quickly especially after opening, it would be wise to keep them in the refrigerator. And that's when this product becomes completely unSPREADable. It's more like dig it with a spoon and eat it like a candy.
Good idea, but not on my repeat purchase list. Rapunzel is a much tastier bang for the buck

Delicious and Filling...
I wasn't sure how I would feel about this spread (I don't usually do nut spreads, save inexpensive peanut butter). This was a wonderful surprise and the kids liked it as well! My only "complaint" is that it's not easy to spread when cold but, in the end, that's not a bad thing... making it more spreadable would require most oil etc. and would take away some of the protein so I'd prefer it to be a little more solid.
I am looking forward to trying the maple almond next!

Better Than Nutella
I like Nutella but I was very concerned about the sugar content in the product. When I buy food I don't want sugar as the first ingredient! Justin's Hazelnut Butter Chocolate is great! It is low in sugar and has ground hazelnuts as the first ingredient. It is pricey but worth it! You get the full flavor of the hazelnuts and ground almonds with chocolate and is lightly sweet. Just so great! I will NOT go back to Nutella.

Nutella replacement
This is such a delicious product. I'm not supposed to have milk due to a dairy intolerance, so this has been a nutella replacement for me (although I'm sorry there is just no replacement for Nutella) this has a grittier taste to it. I've even made my own hazelnut spreads and they came out the same way. How do they do it? I love this and feel a bit healthier eating it. I would recommend it if you need a chocolate fix!

The other brands can heat their heart out
This is a nut butter, that put's itself above the rest compared to what is generally commercially available in the supermarkets. Unlike the ones at the supermarkets, this is not too sugary.
It has a lovely nutty texture, and while sweet, has the occasional salty zing to it.
I keep it in the fridge, and whenever I feel like some dessert, grab a spoon and go to town. It's the best!
