This chocolate cashew nut butter recipe will make your NB&J sing. In our version of the famous chocolate nut spread, we used cashews in place of hazelnuts and added chia seeds for a great nut & seed butter combination. To make it even better, we used our Cacao with Maca for a superfood fiber boost that the other guys just don’t have. Whip up a batch today and use to your delight. Perfect for spreading on toast, adding to smoothies, oatmeal bowls, or any recipe that calls for a nut or seed butter.
