Sweet n' Salty Honey Roasted Almond Butter

Sometimes when I'm bored at home on a lazy Sunday afternoon I wind up experimenting making the most peculiar things. I was baking almond cookies on Sunday and I had a big 5 lb bag of almonds that were just waiting to be used. Then, I thought of Josh who eats almond butter for breakfast every morning lately and thought I would be a cute girlfriend and make him some.

But mind you, not just any old plain jarred almond butter- a sweet and salty one. The best foods always have a perfect balance of sweet and salty, don't they? The salt aspect comes from well, salt. & the sweet- honey and agave syrup. The honey gives such a floral note to the almond butter and the agave dissolves so well, and gives most of the sweetness.

Almond butter is delicious, a nice change from peanut butter. If you are a PB lover, try almond butter- you'll fall in love. If you want to get cute, put in a mason jar, label it and give it to someone as a present :)
