Let’s just say I’m over-the-top about my buddy Justin and his fabulous nut butters…I recently had the pleasure to meet Justin (twice,hehe) last month and tasted all of his incredible nut butters… Not only is Justin an amazing guy and a REAL Person, but his nut butters are out-of-this world. Seriously, have you ever tried Chocolate Hazelnut Butter? Honey Almond Butter? Maple Almond Butter? Honey Peanut Butter? I didn’t think so…
Sick and tired of your regular ol’ peanut butter and jelly sammie, well go ahead and take my word for it, you can jazz up your sandwich, wraps, crackers, veggies, fruits, ice cream, anything with Justin’s Nut Butters…and the best part? These tasty creations are sold in handy dandy to-go squeezable and portable packets for easy traveling and munching on-the-go.
So, I decided to whip up a tasty dessert last night and use some of my Justin’s Chocolate Hazelnut Butter…yummm….how about a little Chocolate Hazelnut Mousse to take the heat off this summer? I hope you enjoy my newest indulgence…it’s guilt-free and exceptionally tasty…

It was so fun meeting you at the Step Up event last night! Kate and I chatted the whole way home about what a small world it is, and crazy coincidence to have met you randomly! As promised, I’m entering your nut butter giveaway 🙂 I would like to try the chocolate peanut or honey peanut, since I’m allergic to both almonds and hazelnuts so those are out! Hopefully we can grab cocktails sometime soon!
Sam,
Such a pleasure to meet you last night, as well…I am thrilled to have met you and Kate and chat about our work and BU days! Thank you so very much for your comment and I look forward to seeing you both again soon at the shore and here in Manhattan…we’ll make a date to get together again at your convenience. Thank you; have a great day! Best, Amie
