Nutty butters three ways with hedessent product

Looking for ways to jazz up your nut and seed butters?

Say hello to these quick and flavourful Nutty Blends Made Three Ways by Evolving Autumn. Whether you’re craving something sweet, savory, or even nut-free, we’ve got you covered with these flavour-packed spreads!

The first recipe uses a blend of cashew butter, Caramel, and Vanilla Cookie Flavour Drops to provide the most scrumptious Caramel Cookie Spread.

“It’s as delicious as it sounds, and I am now addicted and will be eating it every day on sourdough.” – Autumn

The second recipe ramps up the savory side of peanut butter, indulging in a unique flavour opportunity with our easy Flavour Drops. We’ve blended peanut butter, Chili Hot, Fried Onion, and Garlic to create a vibrant peanut stir fry dip perfect for groups and gatherings.

The third recipe is a nut-free option that plays on the nut-like flavour of sunflower seeds. The combination of sunflower seed butter, Parmesan, Basil, and Garlic makes a deliciously fragrant Nut-Free Pesto Dip, perfect to pair with crackers or fresh bread.

We hope these recipes have inspired you to get creative with your nut and seed butters! With Hedessent Flavour Drops, the possibilities for flavour combinations are endless, so have fun creating your own unique blends!
