4 Heavenly Nut Butters You Can Make Yourself

Store-bought nut butter varieties of today are vast compared to the days when peanut butter was the only option you could pair with jelly. Take it a step further and make your own nut butters at home; all you need are some nuts and a food processor.

Bacon Pistachio Butter. Everything is better with bacon, and nut butter is no exception. Pistachios are mild-flavored nuts and rich bacon brings out all of their subtle flavors.

Chocolate Almond Butter. If almond butter is the new peanut butter, then this chocolate almond butter is about to be the new chocolate-hazelnut spread. No trip to the grocery store necessary.

Sweet Ginger Cashew Butter. Use this ginger cashew butter as a spread on toast or jazz up coconut-soy sauce salad dressing with a hearty scoop.

Citrus Pine Nut Butter. Lemon, lime, and orange zest brighten up woody, mellow pine nut butter. Save this for special occasions — pine nuts are one of the more expensive varieties of nuts.
