Review of 'Maranatha' Natural Roasted Almond Butter (Creamy)

Maranatha -- Natural Almond Butter (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: Oh, so creamy. I think I may actually prefer this over peanut butter! You can clearly taste that the almonds were roasted and the flavour is rich and naturally lightly sweet. I would recommend this to anyone...especially those of you who dislike peanut butter. This is a great alternative nut spread...it has a flavour that is definitely distinct from peanut butter.
