Hello my almond butter loving friends. If you're new to HEAB, you may like to subscribe to my RSS feed or receive my posts via email. Thanks for reading!
After all of you shared some of your favorite ideas for savory hot cereal ideas on this post, I couldn’t wait to get back to Nashville and try some of them. First up was Peanut Butter Boy’s Spicy Hominy and Oats. Thanks Nick!
Look who came back into my life for this very special breakfast..
Early on in my pregnancy, I had a very bad experience with my beloved tahini. I used to drizzle tahini in and on everything, but I got really sick after eating it one night and haven’t really wanted any since. Well, when we arrived home Saturday night, I had a sample of Artisana’s Cashini Butter waiting for me. It’s a blend of raw cashews, raw sesame seeds, and Celtic Sea Salt, and the jar said it would make a great peanut butter replacement. So, I decided to try it in Nick’s recipe this morning, and as far as the wing sauce goes, all I have to say is Emeril, I love you. I’m so glad we’ve been reunited 
Now onto my amazing breakfast…
I followed Nick’s recipe, using a combo of oat bran and quick cooking grits. I also subbed water for the skim milk and the Cashini Butter for spicy peanut butter. I didn’t have any PB2 on hand, but I bet some Trader Joe’s peanut flour would have worked just as well, right Sarena? Unfortunately, I didn’t have any of that either. Oh well, my bowl was still delicious…and so filling. I’m stuffed! I loved the taste of the Cashini Butter, but the flavor isn’t as strong as regular PB. I think next time, I would add it on top rather than stir it in, so that I can taste it more with each bite. I also think this would taste amazing topped with a runny egg or perhaps even some crumbled blue cheese? So many possibilities!
So, speaking of Artisana, besides the Cashini Butter, I also received a few more goodies from the company while I was away…
They now sell individual serving size squeeze packets. So exciting!! I also received a jar of Cacao Bliss and raw almond butter. Thanks Artisana! Would you like to share in the wealth? Simply leave a comment below telling me which of the company’s nut butters you would like to try, and I’ll send one lucky winner a squeeze pack…or two.

Cashini for sure!! And oh my gosh… so excited about the packets!
I want to try the Raw coconut butter and the Raw cacao bliss. Neither of which have I found in my local stores!
I would love to try Walnut Butter…Actually I would love to try any and all of them!!! I am obsessed with their Coconut Butter.
YUM! I would love to the cacao bliss and the walnut butter!
That cacao bliss and macademia butter look fabulous!!
I would love to try the cashini butter and the cacao bliss. wow!
The macadamia nut butter or the cacao bliss, which I STILL haven’t tried!!
Cool, coconut bliss in packet form! I would like to try that, or the cashini – if they have that one in squeeze packs!
Ana
Sounds delicious!
ahh cacao bliss looks amazing!!! p.s. my sweet potatoes were delicious! Thanks again!
Maren,
You’re welcome. So glad you enjoyed!
Wait, did you put the wing sauce on your breakfast bowl? i’m not sure how I feel about that…
I’d have to say cacoa bliss or coconut butter!
Kim,
Yep, 1 TBSP wing sauce stirred in…and so good!
I like you, Heather, but man, I just don’t know! It’s kind of freakin me out…
Kim
Hehe – I’ve been known to do that to people.
I would love to try coconut butter. I’ve had the oil, and coconut creme, but never the butter!
Oh my gaaahh! Nut butter HEAVEN! I always see this stuff in stores, but it’s SO expensive for my college-girl budget, haha, you lucky HEAB, you!
Umm I’d be happy to try ANY of them, really
Thanks, Heather!
Macadamia Cashew butter for real? Holy goodness. I need to try that. I have never tried their coconut butter either. They all look super yummy and now portable!
Hooray — I love it when nut butters are available in sample packs. I hate buying a whole jar before I even know whether I like it! I’d definitely go for the cashew butter.
<3 <3
I’ve never tried any of the Artisana products, but I would LOVE to try either the walnut butter or the cacao bliss.
macademia butter looks good!
no brainer..raw cacao bliss
I’ve always wanted to try the cacao bliss!! They all look amazing. Love those little packets!
I would LOVE to try the coconut butter. i put coconut milk on everything but i’m always scared off coconut butter by the price!
I’ve been dying to try the cacao bliss or almond butter.
Yum! I’d love to try the Macadamia Butter, or maybe the Walnut butter. I love the Cashini, has a little hint of sweetness to it.
Such a tough decision! I would love to try the coconut butter!
i’m all about the cocoa bliss…holy yum!
Chocolate–(Pardon me: cacao…). Everything else is secondary.
I would love to try all of their products, naturally, since I can’t get any of them around here (sigh … limited nut butter choices are frustrating). Okay, picking just one I’d have to say Macadamia Cashew butter !
almond butter!!
Any of them! Pretty please?
Those all look so fun and interesting! I’d love to try their coconut on walnut butter!
Look at all of your goodies!!!
I have been dying to try the Cacao Bliss!!!
Cacao Bliss- of course!!!
Cacao Bliss sounds wonderful! I think Cashini would be interesting too.
Well the cashini butter…of course! Great, now I am craving grits and I have NEVER put hot sauce on them. This actually surprises me! This is going on my “to make soon” list! I just made crepes with buckwheat and peanut flour…oh my, I am in total love of the peanut flour. I made need to go to a group for my addiction now. Have a great day Heather!
Sweet jesus I want to dry the macadamia and walnut butters! In third place I shall say Cacao bliss, because I am just so curious.
Macadamia Butter or Cacao Bliss both sound so delicious!
I would LOVE to try macademia nut butter. I haven’t figured out a good way of making it myself yet.
Cacao Bliss sounds so delicious! Cashini also is one I would like to try.
I would love the raw cocoa bliss. I haven’t seen that in the stores yet. Yum!
Yummy! I would love to try cacao bliss or the Macadamia Cashew Butter!
The Walnut Butter sounds really good! I haven’t tried very many nut butters yet because they’re so expensive (college…) but the walnut butter sounds especially good!
I’d love to try the macadamia butter. =)
Wow, that cashini butter sounds awesome! And walnut and macadamia nut butters mmmm!!
I’m definitely going to try that breakfast, I love grits but have never thought to put hot sauce on them!
Hmmm…I think I’d like to try macadamia butter. Maybe I could make something resembling a white-chocolate macademia cookie-ish creation in the form of oatmeal? LOL. Hope you’re enjoying your first few days back in Nashville-I think you came back just in time to enjoy warm weather but no more crazy heat
Jill,
Oh my gosh, the weather here in Nashville is beautiful. I’m loving it!
I’d love to try the cacao bliss!
That recipe sounds very interesting!
I’d die if I could try Coconut Butter or Cacao Bliss. I admire them on many blogs, but the price tag is just so much.
They are so worth the price tag though! Over here I pay £14.99 for a jar of the coconut butter but it lasts for ages and is so amazing – it’s worth every penny
Any of them!! I have never had any of Artisana’s products (can’t find and $$$ online). The walnut butter or the cashew butter would be be fun…heck any of them would be great to try!
I would love to try the coconut butter!
Mmmmmmmm………:P
Cashini butter and cacoa bliss sounds gooood!
Never tried Artisana butters and there cashew butter (never tried) sounds dreamy too!
i’m still feeling like the only foodie on the planet that hasn’t yet tried the cacao bliss, but, i think i’m more of a straight up nut butter kinda gal. as much as i adore a good chocolate fix…my tummy says, hand over the almond butter.
oo I’d LOVE to try the walnut butter
Holy macadamia nut butter, HEAB!
I’d love to try the almond butter or the walnut butter! There are not a lot of nut butters available in Norway, so I kind of feel like I’m missing out
The cacao bliss and macadamia look AMAZING!!!
Ooohhhh the cacao bliss!! And the coconut butter!!
I would love to try the cacoa butter
I’d love the cacoa bliss or coconut butter! They look delicious!
I’d love to try the coconut butter! I can’t find it anywhere around here! Also I’d love to try a packet because then I could decide if it was worth spending the money to buy online!
Also that is one amazing breakfast! I always forget that savory oats are an option….
I’m a new adventurer to the world of nut butters (cuz I’m guessing Nutella doesn’t count?)
and would love to try the cacao or the macadamia nut.
And how cute are those little squeeze packs?!?
Heather,
Nutella totally counts in my book.
Ah the cacao bliss and the cashini both sound amazing!
Cacao bliss and coconut!
Hey Heather! Just curious, how many jars of nut butter do you have in your house right now? I only ask because I somehow have recently obtained an OBSCENE amount of nut butters and I’m feeling quite guilty about it… lol. I, too, received the Artisana samples, so they only added to my stash! lol.
I guess I would just like to know that I am not alone in my plethora of butters, haha.
Kelsey,
It’s over 20, but some of them are for reader giveaways. Never feel guilty about a big nut butter stash! No shame in that.
Looks like you’re going to be swimming in some delicious butters for awhile! I would love to try Artisana’s cacao bliss…and the walnut butter sounds like it would be just perfect with a banana!!! Mmmm.
WOWZA! Lucky, lucky girl!
Cashini sounds great–and different! I would probably chose that and macadamia — because I have expensive taste! Hmmm. Or all of them.
Macadamia butter looks good to me!
I would LOVE to try the Cacao Bliss. I’ve heard such good things about it, and just haven’t ponied up the cash to buy some…..but maybe a sample would help with that
Cashini sounds interesting, too, but I’m not sure if I’ll like it since I don’t love tahini?
Keri,
The cashini is not as bitter as tahini, and the addition of cashews sweetens it up a bit. It’s pretty tasty.
That could definitely be good. I do like cashew butter, so maybe it’s worth a try
Walnut butter…or macadamia nut butter…or coconut butter…ok, they all look amazing!
Holy moly, Cashini sounds so great! and it’s fun to say
I’d love to try it!
I’d love to try Coconut Butter since you and CC Katie are such huge fans! Though really, they all sound good… macadamia nut, walnut, cocoa… send any one of these!
Macadamia Nut butter sounds delicious!
I am very intrigued by coconut butter. I am not a big fan of the flakes but I love coconut milk. So I think it might be a toss up for the butter!
I want to try the cocoa bliss. It just sounds so happy!
Walnut or coconut butter. As long as the coconut butter isn’t TOO coconutty
Tay,
The coconut butter consists of coconut oil and coconut meat. If you don’t like the taste of coconut, then I don’t think you would enjoy it very much.
Cashew or Cacao Bliss Plllleeeasseee!
I’ve always been curious about the macadamia nut butter, i’d love to try that one!
xx eliza
I would love to try the macadamia butter. Yum!
I would love to try the Cashini!
I’ve tried their coconut butter and I ADORE IT. I would be happy to try any of these other flavors…some of them sound amazing. especially the cacao bliss line!
I’m glad you can stomach tahini again! I’ve never been able to eat it alone – something about the bitterness turns my stomach! But I think cashini would be awesome!
Mmm, I would love to try the macadamia cashew butter or the pecan butter!
I would love to taste some Macadamia Nut Butter!!!
I won’t lie: I want the cacao bliss so I can compare it to Dark Chocolate Dreams. And I LOVE their coconut butter too.
Your oats looked interesting….not sure I could do hot sauce in the morning but I love that you did! Did the HEABlet kick around in there after that wake up call? lol
Nicole,
I know you would love the Cacao Bliss, and yes, the HEABlet was kicking up a storm this morning…not sure if she likes spicy foods or not.
I have looked for the Cacao Bliss but have never been able to find it so I would want to try that most. I bet they all are delicious!
I have just been itching to try some cashew butter. Can you believe I NEVER have?… and it’s my absolute favorite nut, no contest!!
Taryn,
No, I can’t.
i would looooove to try that cacao bliss one! sounds so good!
Ahh!
Cashini? What a neat name hey?
Gosh – I’d love to try their cashew…or I seen a Walnut there I think?!…oh, heck, I couldn’t choose – all of them! – you’d have to choose for me. I can’t make such difficult decisions!
I think my little bagelette (I’m pregnant too!) would love to try the raw walnut butter and the raw coconut butter! Wow hope I can find these squeeze packets!
Claire,
Bagelette? Too cute. Congrats!
I would love to try the cashini butter,
Great giveaway!
I would love to try the cacao bliss! I bet it would be delicious!
i’d love to try the cacao bliss and/or the cashew butter!
I’d love to try the cashini butter
Great giveaway!
Xxx
I would love to try the cashew and coconut butters!
I would love to try any of them! I have never had any of this brand and am always looking for a new nut butter to love on!
Artisana Organic Raw Macadamia Cashew Butter and/or Cacao Bliss! Thanks for offering to share your new treasures, Heather!
I’ve used coconut oil (BTW great to rub on the growing belly) but would like to try the coconut butter before buying the jar.
Yes, I’ve heard coconut oil is great for the belly. Makes my skin so soft, and I love the smell!
i havent seen the cashini butter here
sounds good!
the artisana products are so expensive…i often drool over them but canno afford then
Cashew or Almond, for sure, or really any of them! I’ve never tried any of their butters!
I would love to try any one of Artisana’s butters! I’ve only recently made a complete change to my diet and I’ve been reading about Artisana all over the blogosphere, but have yet to try it.
Toby,
Best of luck with the new dietary changes and in the giveaway. Artisana makes some really good products, and I hope you’re able to try them soon!
I would love to try the Cashini, never had anything like that.
Thanks.
I’d love to try the Raw Cacao Bliss or the Cashini butter!
I’ve been dying to try the cocoa bliss!
Coconut butter for sure! As much as I looooove nut butters, I have yet to try coconut butter.
I’d love to try to Cacao Bliss!
ah!! i would love to try cacao blisss!!! thanks for sharing your wealth with us, heaby! if i win, i’ll be sure to try it on a roasted butt!
Sami,
Haha – that’s what I like to hear!
OMG I am SO ENVIOUS!! Those Artisana packets look so good!!!
In where I live, not only that there’s not much of Artisana available, it’s so expensive!
Omigosh, I want to try the cashini butter and cacao bliss. Let me win, let me win, let me win… Pretty please? With a cherry on top? o:) How could you possibly resist that angelic face? ^___^
Walnut butter, pleeeeease!!!
cashini, hands down. i’ve been eyeing it for a few months now in my health food store and the fact that you say it tastes kind of like pb just makes me want to get it even more. i havent touched pb in what seems like years!!!
Love the individual squeeze packs. I’m willing to try anything!
Lucky Duck!! I would love to try the cacao bliss and macadmai butters. yummmmm.
The cashini! it combines my two favorites!
I’m dying to try some coconut butter but cannot afford it on my budget right now. I actually just made some homemade “cashini” butter today, so that’s funny that you wrote about it! I’d never heard of Artisana’s version, and here I was thinking I was so original
I love the combo of cashews and sunflower seeds!
Cacao Bliss for sure. But I do have to admit it was difficult to make a choice since they all sound wonderful.
Hi Heather! Fun treats to choose from.
I would love to try the Coconut Butter and/or Cacoa Bliss Butter…I haven’t tried either one before and they look so fun to experiment with! It was hard not to just say the Almond Butter (such a solid, surefire staple) but I thought I’d be bolder this morning. Thanks for the offer!
wow, that WALNUT BUTTER’s got my wheels turning!
cashini or the macadamia nut butter.
I love the coconut butters!
I LOVE their products and would love to try the Cacao Bliss!
Cashini! I love raw cashews and anything dipped in tahini. I will neeed all of the nut butter packets I can get as I move acorss the pond to Spain.
I’ve actually been wanting to try Artisana’s Cacoa bliss and Justin’s almond chocolate butter. Both are difficult to find in Madison, WI. I’m drooling over all that nut butter.
I’d been wanting to try sunflower butter and just purchased it, but i don’t really care for it.
I’m quite intrigued by the cacao bliss.
I still haven’t tried coconut butter…would love to!!
I definitely want to get my hands on some of that cashini! I love my cashews and sesame seeds.
I would love to try any of it! I would gladly take any goodies that you would like to share.
I am eager to try the Raw Cacoa Bliss.
you lucky dog, i mean lucky pregnant lady
nice score!!
cocoa bliss please!!!
xxoo
i really like savory oats, but i never want to eat them for breakfast. they make a great cold weather lunch with a runny egg on top though!
i’ve been dying to try their cacao bliss (and, actually, all their products. walnut butter sounds like just my kind of thing)! i can never justify the cost though. i am but a lowly college student, ya know?
Ellen,
Yes, I remember those days…trust me, I had no $12 jars of nut butter sitting in my dorm room. Best of luck with the giveaway.
Macadamian butter?!?! That sounds amazing.
I haven’t had savory oats in a while. Nooch is always an essential ingredient for me.
All of their products sound amazing. I’ve never tried coconut butter or macadamia butter so those two are at the top of my list.
Rachel,
Nooch…brilliant!
I’ve only tried the coconut butter and it’s amazing. I’d love to try the cacao bliss
I would love love LOVE to try the coconut butter please!!! Or the cacao bliss?? … hmmm… hard choice!
Oh my! What loot! That’s awesome that they’re selling individual packets now.
I think I’d most like to try the Cacao Bliss – I’ve head so many great opinions of it!
I’d love to try the pecan butter. I love pecans and have never seen it as a nut butter in my stores!
I’ve ALWAYS wanted to try the cacao bliss!
That Cashini butter looks amazing!
oooh the cashini sounds amazing!!!
I’ve been dying to try their macadamia butter!
I would love to try to coconut butter or the cacao bliss! I’ve wanted to try them for a while but I’ve been afraid of spending so much on a jar only to not like it.
Oh man! You are so lucky! My friend and I were just talking yesterday about how we wish we could get all of those wonderful samples! As college kids, we have to stretch teh budget and sometimes have to settle for plain Wal-Mart PB or AB because, well…you understand
So, then, I would love to try one I’ve never had before- maybe walnut or coconut? Or just Almond butter because I am IN LOVE with it
Yes, I so understand. I’m very grateful for all the samples, but sometimes there’s just nothing better than plain old all natural crunchy peanut butter PB from Trader Joe’s, and you can’t beat the price – less than $2!
WALNUT butter! Walnuts are my favorite nuts to chew on, so I’m sure the butter would be amazing.
Macadmia Butter!! I wonder if it would make for some killer dark chocolate sqaure sandwiches?? Or freezer nut butter cups…
But I could settle for cacao bliss ; )
Yum! The coconut butter sounds really good to me today! I’d try that one.
I’m eating Artisana coconut butter with my lunch as I type! I’ve been wanting to try walnut butter, cashew, pecan, and macadamia butter haha. I think walnut would be my top choice, though.
I would be moreee than thankful for any of them, but if i had a choice i would love love love to try the cacao bliss or Macadmia Butter!
thankyou so much Heather!
i would TOTALLY love the cacao flavor! i’ve been on such a chocolate kick as of late and i think this would hit the spot
I would love to try the cacao bliss!
Is that Macadamia butter I spy? I’d LOVE to try some of that!
i’ve been wanting to try the coconut butter forever now! lucky you with all of those samples:)
Wow it sure looks like heaven! But I would love to try the coconut butter and the walnut and cacao bliss. Sounds so yummy!
Cashew butter!!! I can not get it where i live!! Great gifts
The cocoa bliss sounds absolutley amaaaazing!
Choco-holic… and I’ve never tried it before!
I wasn’t sure if you were ever going to start using Tahini again! I would love to try their coconut butter. I made my own after you did and it was great, but I would also like to try the real thing
I would love to try the coconut butter or the cacao bliss! Although, the macadamia nut butter sounds amazing too!
I would love to try Cacao Bliss. I’ve been eyeing it for awhile!!
The cacoa bliss sounds delish! What an awesome thing to come home to.
i’m actually curious about their walnut butter. i’ve never seen it anywhere.
I’ve never heard of coconut butter!! I’d like to try that or the macadamia butter…chocolate covered macadamia nuts are my faaaaave
I am DYING to try coconut butter!!! And macadamia butter
I would love to try the Cacoa Bliss!!
I’ve always wanted to try the cacao bliss! Sounds like frosting to me.
I’d really like to try coconut butter, or maybe macadamia cashew
wow… still haven’t tried coconut butter. Have NO idea how it tastes like!!! I got introduced to AB by you and LOVE it!! but now,,, it’s time to explore the new one! : )
I would love to try the almond butter, but I haven’t yet tried any of their products, so anything would go!
I want to try the cashew or walnut butters. Of course the raw almond butter sounds amazing too.
I would LOVE to try the Cacao bliss and either the macadamia butter or well any of their nuts butters of course!
Def. the cacao bliss!!!!
I’d love to try the Cacao bliss…or the Macademia nut.
Hey,
I think squeeze packs are so awesome. Unfortunately Germany is not that far yet..well we’re not far at all with nut butters at all. here you can get crunchy and creamy PB that’s it. But at least that leaves me with less choice since it’s hard to try to decided what i would try
But I think from the Artisana Bunch I’d love to try Coconut Butter since I love coconut!
Stef,
In my opinion, sometimes crunchy PB is all you need.
Hey,
yeah you’re right “sometimes crunchy PB is all you need”, but the key word here being sometimes! If it’s all you get it tends to get boring. Of course I can always make my own but I find it difficult to decided on a recipe to make my own if I don’t know what it tastes like at all. But lucky me my mom is working in Canada at the moment so I get her to bring me different nut butters. Last time she brought Cashew Butter which definitely tasted different from what I was expecting but still good (especiall blended with Tofu and Banana)!
Stef,
Aren’t moms the best?
I’d love to try the Raw cacao bliss. I’ve never heard of the Cashini butter that sounds intriguing as well!
I love Artisana’s coconut butter–sadly it’s the only one I’ve tried (because it’s pretty pricey), but I would love to try more, especially cacao bliss
I’d love to try the Coconut butter & Cacao bliss – they both look D.I.V.I.N.E!
)
I would love to try the Cacao Bliss — looks delicious!
that macadamia butter sounds like a different twist than a normal butter and delicious
I’d love to try the Walnut butter and the coconut butter. I’ve never tried Artisana, but I was a little dissappointed with some of the brands I did try.
Thanks!
Yes, ma’am. I’d love to sample some Artisana goodies.
Packets! Well, I STILL have never tried coconut butter, but walnut butter sounds pretty good, too!
Cacao Bliss sounds yummy!
I also think I need to be investing in some Emeril’s Wing Sauce!
Ahslee,
It is yummy, and yes, invest in some Emeril’s. I’m not even a big fan of hot sauce, and I love that stuff!
I’d love to try Cacao Bliss!
ive been dyin to try the coconut butter that ive seen all over the blog world!
the coconut butter for sure!!
Cashini butter looks and sounds amazing….I’d love to give it a proper debut in my oatmeal!
I would love to try the coconut butter or the cocoa bliss! Definitely wouldn’t be too picky though– they all sound delicious!
omg lucky girl! i’m glad you had an amazing babymoon, all the trips to the dairy bar made my mouth water!
i would LOVE to try their plain coconut butter, as i’ve never had it before!
Courtney,
Thanks for reading, and oh the Dairy Bar…I miss it.
I want to try Cacao Bliss! It looks amazing–like healthy chocolate frosting
The macadamia butter looks great too as mac nuts are my favorite!
I LOVE all nut butters, but I would like to try coconut butter. I tried to make it myself once…it was an epic FAIL!
I’ve always wanted to try coconut butter but with the price as high as it is and my pretty sad college student salary…I’ve help back!
hmm cacao bliss or cashini butter? tough choice
I would love to try any of the butters but especially the cacao bliss and the macadmia nut! Yum!
I would love to try the cacao bliss & the coconut butter! Delicious!
oh my, artisana has squeeze packs?!??!?!? mmm, cahini sure sounds fun
i’ve also wanted to try their coconut butter, and of course i wouldn’t turn down the cacao bliss!
I’ve always wanted to try to cacao bliss! I just splurged big time and bought a jar of the coconut butter…best…idea…EVER. I’m definitely in love.
Heather, I got a similar package and was in complete heaven! I haven’t tried their raw almond butter yet, but I have a feeling that will be my favorite!
~Alyssa
I’ve always wanted to try coconut butter (:
Yum! I would love to try the coconut butter and the cacao bliss! I hope my health food store starts carrying the packets!
I have never tried Coconut Butter and I am VERY intrigued!
Good old almond butter-hard to go wrong with that!
walnut butter is my favorite from artisana…i guess i cant say id love to try that one since i already have.. but id surely love to re-try it
otherwise the macadamia one would be next on my list <3
xoxo
ps. the squeeze pack idea is a trend i hope many companies continue jumping on board with. i dont understand why the idea didnt come out sooner.. plus it'll help get more organic nut butters to replace the kraft ones in every single cafe/restaurant!
Kelsey,
Regarding your p.s. – I concur.
I’ve seen that brand but have never been brave enough to try raw nut butter! I would love to try walnut butter.
I would LOVE to try out any packs but that cacao bliss looks extra yummy!
I would love to try any of them, the only Artisana I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on is the Coconut Butter, which is super yum!
The Macadamia butter!! Ohhhh that’d be incredible!
Oh I saw these at Whole Foods a couple of weeks ago, and spent five minutes trying to decide on a flavor before giving up. It was so overwhelming! I think the Walnut Butter sounds very interesting, and I also wanted to try the Cacao Bliss because I always see it on blogs.
Walnut, coconut, or almond butter would be my choices! I can’t find these in a regular grocery store?! Is that even normal? I look all the time thinking ok maybe they have gotten it in, but NOPE!
Kami,
I can’t find the Artisana nut butters here in Nashville except our Whole Foods does carry their coconut butter. As far as regular grocery stores go, you can normally find almond butter in the health food section, and even most Wal-Marts carry it in the peanut butter section. However, walnut and coconut area little harder to come by.
I want to try them all! First choice would be the coconut butter. It all looks fantastic.
Man, I would LOVE to try macadamia cashew butter! It sounds like something I couldn’t eat every day, so a little squeezy pack would be the perfect trial size! =)
HEAB! I would love to try the cacao bliss or coconut butter, I have always wanted to try the coconut butter but have been hesitant to buy a whole jar for fear of not liking it.
coconut butter would be amazing!
i have been *truly longing* to try the coconut butter! it is just so darn expensive… and i’m afraid that if i bit the bullet and bought it once, i’d be hooked and have to *keep* buying it. but gosh, i would love love love a sample!
Mmm cocoa bliss or the coconut butter!
That breakfast looks and sounds delicious!! I will have to give it a try – thanks, Heather.
As for flavours… if I had to pick, it’d be a close call between Cacao Bliss or Coconut Butter – I’ve never tried coconut butter before in my life (at least not consciously).
Alison,
You’re welcome.
The coconut butter seems so multi-purpose that I am dying to try it! Unfortunately, they do not sell it where I live, so I am stuck without it. The little munchkins that I babysit love coconut, so I think it would be fun and cute to make them little snacks with the coconut butter!
Dana,
Don’t tell Artisana I told you this, but it’s really simple to make your own coconut butter: http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/recipes/coconut-butter/
oh man, i’ve never tried any hazelnut or macadamia or walnut butters. any of those would be bangin’!
I’ve ALWAYS wanted the coconut butter. Mmm.
Wow…I’d love to try Cacao Bliss. Heard so much about it through all the blogs!
Cashini for sure!!!! I am tahini obsessed (I went through a 1 lb. container in errr…3 days this week)!
J,
Impressive!
ohhh macadamia nut butter?? yes please! Also cacao bliss!!
I would love to try cocoa bliss! Yum!
Ahhh I’d go for ANY, but I honestly have to say I’d LOVE to try cashew butter…I’ve never had cashew butter PERIOD, so trying amazing Artisana’s would be awesome
izzyy
xoxx
walnut, macadameia, almond all the nuts and seed butters.. yummy! would love to try them all. Heather- do you use the reg Quaker Grits and have you tried any other brand? Thank you for being so generous and sharing your stash!
Lindsay,
I have the Quaker quick cooking grits – the one in the canister that take 5 minutes to cook on the stove-top, and no, I’ve never tried any other brand. However, when I run out of the Quaker stuff, I’d like to try some polenta.
And always happy to share my stash.
cacao butter, AND coconut butter?!!!!!?! Oh. my. goodness!!! If I were to have a packet of either of these I don’t know that they’d make it onto/into anything, I’d just squeeze them into my mouth! YuM! It must be so exciting to receive surprise packages of tasty things all the time!

Almond Buttah!
Oh cacao blisss! Yes PLease!!!
jeepers – being the nut butter freak i am, i wouldn’t be picky:-)!! i’d be happy with any, but the cashini would definitely be new to me and i haven’t tried the walnut & macadamia yet either – thanks for the chance to win.
i have wanted to try their coconut butter for ages now but every time in the store i just can’t bring myself to spend $10+, i know it would be so worth it though!
that recipe looks so good!! i think i’ll try it soon :]
i really want to try cashew and macadamia nut butters!
I’d love to try the coconut butter. I love coconut oil, but never had the buttah!
Squeeze packs!? Oh no they didn’t!!! I want to try the coconut butter so bad!
Caco Bliss or almond butter!!! Mmmmmmm!
The Cacao Bliss would be interesting to try. Your oats look good.
I would love to try Artisana’s brand of nut butters. They all sound yummy!
Ohhh, coconut butter. Always fondle it at the store and have never been willing to fork over the cash and actually invest in a jar of my own. But when I do, that’ll be the day.
Mmm def the Cacao bliss… I lurve Nutella but can’t deal with all the scary ingredients, so CB has been on my wish list…
cacaoooooooooo
Mmmm… cacao bliss or coconut butter! want to try so bad!
Yummy! I would love to try the macadamia nut butter.
The cacao bliss definitely!
oh wing sauce! YUM!! i use frank’s, but am definitely going to try Emeril’s next. I feel like the whole time I’m eating it I will be hearing “bam! bam bam bam!” in my head haha. as for the nut butters, cacao bliss is at the top of my list!
Elaine,
I love Emeril’s sauce – the ingredient list is so simple. Try it.
Def. the coconut butter, i seen it in the stores but to buy a whole jar and not like it wold be a shame, I’d love to try it before spending a good 13.00 on the stuff.
Oh man, you have no idea how happy this post makes me. First, I had no idea that Artisana made such a thing as Cashini–glorious! And, they’re making squeeze packets now?! I love their raw almond butter.
Cashini Butter, Cocao Bliss, or Macadamia Nut Butter would be my top three picks. Sorry, couldn’t pick just one.
I’m DYING to try either coconut butter or macadamia nut butter (oooooooh-imagine them together!)
I would love to try any of the flavors! I love surprises!
Cacao bliss for sure!
Im desperate to try the macadamia butter, coconut butter and cacao bliss <3
I would LOVE to try the Coconut butter… I have never seen these in any of my stores. However, I have purchased Justin’s squeeze packs and they work out perfectly for my out of town oatmeal breakfasts on the go!
Definitely the Raw Cacao Butter and the Raw Coconut Butter!!
Oooo! Cacao Bliss would be divine! I’ve never seen that anywhere around here, but I really want to try it!
Thank you!
I would love to try coconut butter and cacao bliss – can’t go wrong with something chocolatey right?
Oh, man. Walnut butter! After reading about you and Ash at The Edible Perspective making nut butters, I have big plans to try every kind under the sun. Omega 3s… in buttered form? Yes please.
Ugh! I would absolutely die for a sample of any chocolate nut butter. I just moved to Virginia Beach and I can’t seem to find nut butter (other than peanut/regular almond butter) anywhere. I practically sit and drool over all of your nut butter flavors and recipes. I see I have a lot of competition, so I will gladly take a suggestion if no sample
Danielle,
Have you ever thought making your own? It’s super easy, and you can add cocoa powder and sweetener for a chocolate version.

I’d love to try some coconut butter…. read your post on making homemade, but didn’t want to deal with washing the food processor, so I tried it in the vitamix. Bad idea– I ended up with coconut sand and it looked like a snowglobe had exploded in my kitchen. Almost makes $8/jar seems reasonable (you know, or makes me consider washing the food processor)
Christine,
Oh gosh, I’d much rather clean out the food processor. Trying to clean around those Vita-Mix blades is such a pain. Sorry, the homemade coconut butter didn’t work for you. Good luck in the giveaway!
I’d love to try Walnut or Macadamia! I’m not a huge almond fan (blasphemy, I know) but walnuts are a weakness for me.
I would LOVE to try Artisana’s Cacao Bliss!
I would love, love, love to try them ALL!! Fo sho! But I think Coconut Butta would be the bomb-diggitay!!
Where can I buy the packets???
brilliant
Katherine,
I’m not sure if they’re available anywhere online yet. The Artisana folks don’t even have them up on their website. However, I hear that some Whole Foods are carrying them. Unfortunately, mine is not.
Awwwwwwww man! They would be perfect portion control, as I tend to be rather generous with my coconut butter portions!
On some wing sauce and a prayer, do you have some Cashini you can share?
Mary,
Haha – I love it. You definitely win points for creativity.
Or for being a complete cornball… more likely!
When I recently (finally!) tried Artisana’s Raw Coconut Butter, I fell in love. Needless to say, I’ve been wanting to try Cacao Bliss ever since. Chocolate + Love? Might that be what heaven is like?
Thanks for the opprotunity, HEAB! You’re so generous to give away some of your buttahs.
If I won, you get to choose, as I have not had the pleasure of trying any of their products. The closest Whole Foods is an hour away
Though it sounds like some of the products they sell at Whole Foods, would be worth the trip!
I really want to try the Macadamia Butter and Cacao Bliss! The former because I love eating those nuts whole (or baked in cookies, mmm), and the latter because it seems to be everyone’s favorite. Oh, and I want to compare it to PB&co’s Dark Chocolate Dreams.
How could one person even pick!!? But … well … the chocoholic in me says the cacao bliss, or the coconut butter!!
walnut butter! walnut butter!
I didn’t know that Artisana made squeeze packs! I’d love to try the Cashini butter.
I can’t believe how many comments there are here! Well, actually I can because this stuff is supposed to be insanely good. I would love to try the cacao bliss or the coconut butter or the almond butter! I have been reading about Artisana for a long time but have never tried it! I just started college across the country from my home state and I desperately miss special healthy treats! Thanks so much for offering to share the wealth!
ooh I would love to try their cashew butter or cacao bliss!
hope all is well!

I would LOVE to try the cacao bliss! They all sound soo delicious though
macadamia, walnut, cashini… GIVE ME NUTSSSSSSSSS!
nut butter fascination=not humanly normal
I’ve heard so much about Cacao Bliss; it’d be nice to try it out.
It is a toss up between the walnut butter and the cashini butter!
Cashini! Now you’ve got me intrigued
Well as you knw after seeing how much you LOVE almond butter I had to try! And I as well have falling in love with it! Gotta have some everyday!
But I would love to try the cacao bliss! Anything chocolate is heaven! And of course I would love to try their version of almond butter!
the macadamia nut butter looks so yummy!
oh my gosh cashini! ive never heard of that! would LOVE to try. anything with cashews makes me
i havent had their plain coconut butter either. the choco coco is so good.
Good evening, Heather…and HEABlet, of course
I think i’d love to try cashini and or cacoa bliss (still haven’t tried that one…not liking the price tag….just got more coconut butter, so for now that’s it!)….I’m an indecisive person, so can’t decide on one.
I hope i’m the “lucky winner”
I have to say I’m very curious about the coconut butter and the cacao bliss!
Every time I go to Central Market I look at the Cacao Bliss but talk myself out of the splurge. I’d love to try that and anything else you want to toss in!
Trying to choose was really nerve-wracking, but….
cacao bliss.
I’ve been dying to try plain old coconut butter for months now but have balked at the idea of shelling out 13 or so dollars for a jar. So I need to win!
I also want to try the cacao bliss…and the walnut butter and, well, pretty much everything!
I would love to try the coconut butter and the cacao bliss!
I’d love to try any of them, but of course have a special interest in trying almond or walnut. Yum!!
Macadamia nut sounds really interesting to try!!
oh cashini sound great tooo!!! Mmmm, im dreaming of nut recipes…
I’m getting funny menatl images…
“So, Artisana team…what do we make now?”
“I know! Macadamia-Cashew Butter!”
“Nah, those Maranatha bastards beat us to it.”
“Hmm…TAHINI AND CASHEWS!”
“Genius!”
But I’d go wild over the walnut or macadamia butter!
Much as I poo-poo the weird nut butters, that cashini stuff is HEAVEN. I got a jar of it too, and I love it.
HI HEAB! JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS AGAIN FOR VISITING MY BLOG! PLEASE COME BACK ANYTIME!:) I would love to get free samples like this from Artisana for my blog! Any ideas on thiS?
I would also love to try the Cashini and raw hazlenut butter! I’ve never heard of the Cashini!! I, like so many, LOVE the raw coconut butter by the company and the cacao bliss is okay, but I would really like to try a nut butter! Thanks so much!:)

cashini for sure!
Cacao bliss- it’s almost oatmeal season!
hmm…cacao bliss. I have never tried that before! Sounds like a nice topping for morning oatmeal!
whatttt!!! i havent even heard of half those blends!! cashini?!?! wow. ok, i think i will take anything i can get at this point (you have like one million entries above, so i think my odds are pretty slim).
sorry the preggo made your tahini love wane for a bit…im sure itll come back in full force soon enough. im just getting back into the swing of things post honeymoon and its kinda rough. im still in denial about my re-entry into the real world…
thanks for the info on cory btw. i do think im gonna do the blog makeover soon with his help.

cacao bliss and macadamia nut sound good
I want to try the macadamia cashew butter-I love making tropical oats bowls with pineapple or mango, and this would be the missing nut butter link to tropical oat bliss!
I would love to try the cacao bliss or thr macadamia cashew butter!!
coconutty butter pwease!!!:))))
OMG I would love to try the coconut butter and the macadamia nut butter. I cannot find any of either for sale in the UK. If your willing to post overseas I would give anything to try it!
the cacoa bliss!
Coconut butter please……. I’m in the N.Ireland and I’m having difficulty getting it. do you know if any U.S. websites post to UK?
I’d love to try coconut butter!!!
I’ve just moved to Sidney Australia and I get sooo jealous reading about all of these yummy looking butter combinations (which are not here sadly:( ) I just found a very small jar of cashew butter yesterday in a health food store and only paid $12.95 for it! Can’t wait for my good friend Ms. Vitamix to arrive soon so that I can at least attempt to make my own.
cocoa bliss! i’ve been looking to try that but i haven’t seen it in stores yet.
i’ve never tried coconut butter so i’d definitely go for that one.
Mmmm all of those nut butters look so tasty. But I have way too much nut butters. This year I won Maranatha’s contest and won a year supply of nut butters!
How cool that you sent you all of those samples, especially the single serving packets!
Oh how kind of them? I have still never tried spicy with peanuts. Maybe my time has come?
I would love to try the walnut or pecan butter!
Thank you for sharing your bounty
Definitely the macadamia butter–I have never had that!!
Glad to see you are back in home safe in Nashville!
I would absolutely love to try the Coconut Butter!!
I think either the coconut butter or walnut butter would be interesting to try. Would love to try them on quinoa for breky. I do love me some PB or AB on my quinoa or oatbran but I think my taste buds need a change!
Oh my gosh! I would love to try Macadamia butter because I’ve never had it. But they all look so good!
I finally found the Justin’s chocolate nut butters and can’t wait to try those
ooh I would love to try the walnut and macadamia butters – just because I’ve never had those before!
