ALMOND BUTTER HONEY NUT O'S BARS

This just came to me in an email from Cascadian Farms and I am posting it here for safekeeping. The recipe is credited to Shaina Olmanson. I found them rather sweet, so I will probably reduce the honey/sugar. Instead of making a drizzle I just added chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into the mixture, which was yummy but again added to the sweetness. Experiment! Let me know what you change to make it work for your family :). Time does not include cooling time.

Tips:

Choose the right almonds: For the best flavor and texture, use raw, unsalted almonds. If you only have roasted almonds on hand, be sure to adjust the amount of salt you add to the recipe.
Activate the almonds: Soaking the almonds in water for at least 8 hours, or overnight, helps to soften them and make them easier to digest. It also makes them more flavorful and nutritious.
Use a high-powered blender or food processor: A regular blender may not be able to handle the task of blending almonds into a smooth and creamy butter. A high-powered blender or food processor will give you the best results.
Be patient: It takes time to blend almonds into a smooth butter. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away. Just keep blending and eventually you'll get there.
Add flavorings: Once you've made a basic almond butter, you can add flavorings to taste. Some popular options include honey, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sea salt.

Conclusion:

Almond butter is a delicious and nutritious spread that can be enjoyed on its own, used as a dip for fruits and vegetables, or added to smoothies and baked goods. It's also a great source of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be an almond butter that everyone will enjoy. So what are you waiting for?
