I was so excited to sample the Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread, as I’m a huge fan of their organic chocolate hazelnut spread. The almond cocoa variety is smooth and delicious and is perfect with a little fruit. Nut butter and fruit seem to go hand in hand, but add a little cocoa to it and GAH – it’s irresistible!

The secret ingredient? Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread. This creamy, dreamy blend of almonds and cocoa is what takes these muffins from ordinary to extraordinary. It’s like having your favorite candy bar in muffin form, but without all the guilt.
Here’s why Once Again Organic Amore Almond Spread is a game-changer:
