Chocolate Almond Butter

January 31, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 24 Comments

Hi Everyone!

This was the first month I participated in the Foodie Penpal program sponsored by the Lean Green Machine.  Basically what you do is swap foodie items with another person that your linked up to.  For me I had to send my items to Christine at Oatmeal in my Bowl.  Check her site out to see what goodies I sent.  Hope she liked them!

For me, I received my goodies from Maureen from Organically Mo.  She sent me the items I love from Trader Joe’s and she wrote the nicest card.  I love all my gifts.  I took my Granola to work to munch on, and my dogs love the treats.  Their kind of a Trader Joe’s fan too!  She also did the cutest thing, taped Justin’s Nut Butter to a Jar of Roasted Red Peppers, he he, to represent my name.  After looking at that I thought, I picked a funny name.  I loved it!  I used the peppers already and I have the nut butter in my purse for emergencies!  You know you should always keep a hidden stash of peanut butter!!!  Thank you Maureen for the goodies!

Anyone can participate in the Food Penpals program, and you don’t need a blog to join!!  If you interested here’s some information below.


-On the 5th of every month, you will receive your penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.
-You will have until the 15th of the month to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the last day of the month, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal! 
-The boxes are to be filled with fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats! The spending limit is $15. The box must also include something written. This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about flat rate boxes!)
-Foodie Penpals is open to blog readers as well as bloggers. If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you are to write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to worry about writing a post for that month. 

*Breaking news! This month we’re going to do a trial run for our Canadian friends. I’m still not exactly sure how it will work with shipping costs and stuff for you guys up North, but if you’re willing to give it a try for a month and provide me with some feedback, that would be awesome! Please note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only. We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and vice versa. So, I’m going to keep two separate lists and match US w/ US and Canada w/ Canada!

If you’re interested in participating for February, please send  an email to Lindsay at [email protected] and include the following information:
-Your full name
-Your email address
-Your blog name/address
-Your twitter handle (if applicable)
–WHETHER YOU ARE A US RESIDENT OR CANADIAN RESIDENT. – this is SUPER important so I can get you on the right list!

The Lean Green machine will need to hear from you by February 4th as pairings will be emailed on February 5th!

This weekend I was at Trader Joe’s and I kept on seeing that Chocolate Almond Butter and I debated about buying it and then I thought why not make it?  I like my nut butters way better then the stores, so this weekend I did it and I am so happy I did!  I love it!!  Another one of my new addictions!

If you haven’t made a nut butter yet, you must!  Do it now!!  Once you make your own, you’ll never buy store bought again, I promise!!  Matter in fact this week, Target has nuts on sale, so check it out!!!  It’s cheaper than buying a jar of nut butter!!

What I did was make my normal Almond Butter and right at the end I added about 1 oz of dark chocolate.  It’s not that much chocolate, so next time I may add more.  But this Almond Butter has the wonderful almond taste with a chocolate after taste.  The chocolate I used was Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Pounder Bars.  This is the best dark chocolate, it’s creamy and smooth and melts like a dream.  Way better then using chips!  So if you want a GOOD chocolate check out the big red pounder bars from TJ’s.  You’ll see a picture on my Trader Joe’s page.

Chocolate Almond Butter – Adapted from my Cinnamon Almond Butter

Ingredients:

2 cup raw almonds

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 oz dark chocolate (Trader Joe’s Pounder Bars)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, mix together the almonds and maple syrup . Spread out almond mixture onto baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, stir and place back in oven for another 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow the almonds to cool.

In food processor add almonds and process until you see it form into a ball.  (NOTE:  You will have to scrape down the sides a few times, like 10.)  Add you cinnamon and vanilla extract and then process until drippy.  The whole process takes about 10 – 15 minutes.   When your right at the end I add the chocolate and process until all melted in, about 1 more minute.

Makes about 16 Tablespoons or a smidge over 1 cup

Calories per Tablespoon:  92,  Fat:  7.4,  Sodium:  30,  Potassium:  3.3,  Carbs:  4.7,  Fiber:  1.7,  Sugar:  1.8,  Protein:  3.1

This would be perfect for Valentine’s Day.  Serve with some strawberries, marshmallows, graham crackers, banana’s, maybe some whip cream, or you could make a scrumptious dessert with it. I won’t tell you what else I think you could do with it.  lol Sorry, being dirty here!! he he  Oh and a banana sandwich is so good with this almond butter.  You could also put this in ice cream, on top of oatmeal or do like I do and put in my yogurt.  So good, so creamy!  This is my best nut butter yet!!

Time for me to go make myself something for dinner, it’s fend for yourself night.  Hmm, what to make, what to make.  I do know it’s Monday night and I’ll be baking something sweet!  Have a great day!!  Don’t forget to check out yesterday’s post, to see all the Skinny Super Bowl Treats you can make!

    Can’t wait to make this I bought the Trader Joe’s dark chocolate too yummy!!!!

    Hi Jenn,
    I made this tonight for the first time. I’m not sure if mine came out right. Let me just say that I’m totally new to making my own butters. I’ve made your Cinnamon Apple Peanut Butter twice and absolutely love it so tonight I ventured out and made this. I used half of the package of the Trader Joe’s raw almonds and toasted them in the oven with the maple syrup. Not sure if I burnt them though, again I’ve never roasted almonds before so I wasn’t sure whether I should have taken them out sooner. I did the 15 minutes and then stirred and then 15 minutes longer. The parchment paper had dark brown stains I guess from the maple syrup…my husband came out and said what’s burning? When you do this part do your almonds come out very brown? Well I went ahead and finished the recipe and it tastes good I think but I’m not sure. Again, I think I taste a hint of burnt almonds…LOL… I may need to buy a little packet of the Justin’s chocolate almond butter and see if mine tastes like that…

      One thing I found is if you can smell your nuts, then they are done. I learned that lesson the hard way! Let’s just say I have burnt a few batches of nuts, well more than a few! 🙂 If you try the recipe again, just bake the nuts for about 15 minutes and flip every 5 minutes. I don’t have patience for 30 minutes, so I have done it this way. Sorry you may or may not like the nut butter! 🙂 Thanks for commenting and letting me know how the recipe came out! Have a great day!!

Happy Thursday! I am a day ahead of myself this w Happy Thursday!  I am a day ahead of myself this week. I thought yesterday was Thursday and I was excited because I thought today was Friday. I knew what day of the week it was, but my brain didn’t get it. Does that ever happen to you?
🐶
I’m sharing with you my new dog bone container that I got from @outshine_co. Oh my gosh Sampson loves it! Mom, move out of the way, I’m taking over!!
🐶
Hi all! This is Sammy here! I just have to tell you my Mom now has no excuse not to have bones in the house anymore. This beautiful container hold 5 boxes of my favorite Trader Joe’s bones. My Mom also needs to know that carrots, celery or a piece of lettuce doesn’t cut it! Bones is what I must have!
🐶
The container is made of a nice heavy coated carbon steel and holds 12lbs or 54 cups of dog food and bones. 🤩Yes thank you! That is what I’m taking about. The only thing is, the lid is so well fitted and airtight that I can’t get my paws in it. What’s up with that? Not fair! I need access to bones at all times.
🐶
My Mom loves the container too because it looks pretty on her counter and even comes with a sticker that she can write my name on. I absolutely love this container! Thank you Outshine Co. for sending this to me, I mean my Mom.
🐶
Thank your for letting me take over! I miss and love you guys!  Love Sampson!

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the week. I’m Happy Wednesday!  Half way through the week. I’m sharing with you, possibly my last look of my living room in it’s winter decor. I am so ready to add some color.
🪴
Depending on what is going on this weekend, I hoping to go to Homegoods for maybe a new blanket and some pillows. The only thing what color? I’m almost gravitating towards pink?
🪴
Though, yellow may look nice with the green plants. However, I do have so many pillows. Maybe I should look for pillow covers? Less storage. Pillows take up so much room. Oh the decisions.
🪴
I’ve seen some of you share pillow covers from Hobby Lobby. I’ve never seen them at my store, but I’ll do a search when I’m there? I guess that means I’m hitting up Hobby Lobby too. 😂
🪴
Instead of my daily question, I just want to wish and hope everyone is safe with this crazy weather.

🐰
Now that Valentines is over, it’s officially time for spring, at least in my mind. The weather may say otherwise, but I’ve been craving spring colors in my home. I went pretty neutral in my living room for winter, but I think I’m going to add some pastels. Now what color to add?
🐰
Last year if you followed me, I spent months trying to decide on what color to use. Ugh, I think I’m in the same boat again this year. I like yellows because it’s a happy color, but I also like pinks and blues. Oh the decisions.
🐰
I haven’t seem to much inspiration in the stores, though Target seems to have yellows and corals, plus a lot of neutrals. I’m seeing a lot of boho and woods. I do like woods with greenery.
🐰
What color doing you like to use in your home for Spring?

Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bi Happy Friday! We did it! Yesterday was a little bit of rough day in my house. Woke up to see my sweet Sampson wasn’t feeling well.  He was just laying around, didn’t get up to greet me, and the biggest sign was he didn’t ask for a bone. You know how he’s obsessed with bones.
🐶
Around 9am he perked up and asked for a bone and wanted to go outside to snoop around. He seems to be better, but is still kind of laying around. I just hope he will be okay. He’s 11, and I get so worried. He’s my child.
🐶
I’m sharing with you my pretty tulips from Trader Joe’s. They have such a great selection of tulips in array of colors. Though I didn’t see any roses, which is strange. We do not have any plans for the weekend, that I know of, but we have the tendency to wing it.  I’ll keep you posted. Hope you have a wonderful Valentines weekend!

Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most Hello Friday’s Eve! Today after work I’ll most likely be heading to Trader Joe’s and I have to get my husband a Valentines gift. I would get him his favorite, chocolate, but he bought himself a ton of chocolate last weekend, so I’ll have to think of something else. Maybe he’ll like flowers from Trader Joe’s? Lol
🌸
Speaking of flowers, check out my new, gorgeous marble and wood cutting board that I got from my friend Brantley from @thesassyoak. I love the engraved flowers in it. It is so pretty.
🌸
The cutting board is her newest item at her Etsy shop. She engraves different items, like your name, but for me it is flowers. I’ll always keep the cutting board displayed. I think it is far to pretty to use. I’m afraid someone would scratch it.
🌸
Do you use cutting boards or just use them as display?

Happy Wednesday! My bathroom refresh should be co Happy Wednesday!  My bathroom refresh should be completed, I think this weekend? That means I get to go shopping for some new pieces to add to the bathroom. I am on the search for is some new open shelves to go above the toilet. If you have any suggestions on where to get some, let me know.
❤️
I wasn’t going to, but I decided to do a small Valentines table setting. I couldn’t resist the small white plates with the little red heart in the middle that I got from @williamssonoma. It was the first thing I bought after my no home decor buying for 30 days.
❤️
I love the simplicity of the table. It’s a small space, so I do not like to go to overboard on the decor. I added a little gift of candy hearts to bring together the reds and of course to eat.
❤️
Do you have any special plans for Valentines Day?

Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I clea Hello everyone! Happy Tuesday! This weekend I cleaned my kitchen sink area. It was filling up with daffodils and tulips and my husband said he feels like he’s in a greenhouse. I said they are bulbs, they won’t be there forever. Well they did poop out so I cleaned up my area to make more room for new plants.
🤣
You know when you take a photo and you realize something is in the wrong spot, so you fix it and take a photo again? Or maybe you see a crumb, a dog hair tumbleweed and you have to clean up and take a photo again. We’ll here’s my story.
😂
I took a photo of the kitchen sink area and I saw in the photo a smear mark on the dishwasher. So I cleaned the dishwasher. Then I took a photo again and I saw that smear mark again. So I scrubbed the dishwasher and ended up up cleaning all of my cabinets.
😂
I took the photo again and I saw that smear looking mark in my photo. What the heck? I examined the dishwasher and I’m thinking it’s so clean and smooth. I don’t get what that smear mark is. It was driving me crazy!!
🤣
Then it hit me. It was the reflection of the dog food dish in the dishwasher. Sigh.... All that scrubbing and I could have just moved the bowl. Well now I have a clean dishwasher and cabinets.
🤦‍♀️
Has this ever happened to you?

Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hello Monday! We meet again!! And hello everyone! Hope you had a nice weekend. I took  advantage of the sunshine and 64 degree weather we had. I did some therapeutic yard work and I planted Pansies, Stock and Ranunculus in the garden. It felt so nice to be outside and to see flowers.
🌸
This weekend I finally repotted my Coffee Plant and Dracaena plant. They had roots growing out of the pot. I have no idea how the Dracaena (plant on right) plant survived. The roots were so dry and it was in about a 3” container.  I looked up the plant and it can grow to 10’. Not the care I gave mine. That little plant is about a year old.
🌸
If your looking for a low light, easy to care for plant that takes neglect, get a Dracaena. I’m proof that it can take neglect.
🌸
Basic repotting plant tips
1. Get a pot about 2-4” larger in diameter then the pot your current plant is in. Make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom.
2. Use indoor potting soil, preferably organic.
3. Carefully take plant out of current pot, check if the roots are root bound, if so, try to untangle a little bit. Just be gentle.
4. Place plant in new pot with fresh indoor potting soil
5. Give a good watering
🌸
Did you watch the Super Bowl? I wasn’t a fan of the game, but I enjoyed some of the commercials. The Cheetos one with Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunas made me laugh. I didn’t care for the Doritos commercial with my man Matthew McConaughey.
🌸
Were there any commercials you liked?

It’s finally Friday! Woohoo! I always say to my It’s finally Friday!  Woohoo! I always say to myself, I’m going to sleep in, I never do. I get so excited of all the things I want to do, that I can’t sleep. This weekend I’m hoping to hit the garden store. I really want to plant some Iceland Poppies.

Since Spring is in my head, I created this cute Spring tiered tray. I got all of the gorgeous handcrafted pieces from my friend Brantley @thesassyoak. The workmanship is amazing. They are just happy, cheery pieces.

The love birds sign is my favorite. It reminds me of my two Blue Jays that frequent my yard. They are my favorite birds next to Woody of course.

How cute is that sweet little “BLOOM” banner. Eeeee, It makes me want to plant flowers so bad. Crossing fingers that I get too. You have no idea how I just love Spring!
🌷
To get these fabulous pieces and many more, be sure to check out The Sassy Oak. She has a beautiful Etsy shop.
