Product Review - Almond Butter Balls!

Okay all you almond butter fanatics - this one's for you. Each month my family places an order with a food co-op located in Oregon. They have a lot of organic food including many dairy-free, gluten-free products that I can eat. In flipping through their catalog a couple months ago, I stumbled across these gems and just had to give them a try...

Here's my review in the style of Miss Em:

Review: I love these things! They have a crunchy outside thanks to the coating of chopped almond pieces and a soft, moist, chewy inside. Sometimes I will find a raisin or two in the middle of one, but mostly they are just big balls of almond buttery goodness. I like to take these with me to work for mid-afternoon snacks. They're individually wrapped, and they came in a huge plastic storage jar.

What else can I say, except ... they're drool-worthy! In the next pic you can see what the middle looks like:

I found the Betty Lou's website today, and to my delight I see that they make a lot of other various nut butter ball flavors including High Protein Almond Butter, Peanut Butter, Spirulina Ginseng, Cashew Pecan, Fudgie Filbert, Chocolate Walnut, Coconut Macadamia. WOW! Those sound soooooo good!

Sadly I haven't seen these in stores anywhere, but here is the link to the website where you can buy them online.
