Whats your favorite raw nut/seed butter?

[1love4ever]

I want to move away from peanut butter and instead get another type of raw nut or seed butter.  I am looking at sunbutter and almond butter in particular, although the sunbutter does not say Raw....   I just want to know which is the closest to peanut butter, do they taste good, etc?  They are pretty expensive and I dont want to waste my money if DD will not like them.

We use sunflower seed butter all the time in place of peanut butter. My kiddos are pretty picky and I haven't had any trouble w/it being 'different' than peanut butter.... As a matter of fact, we just call it peanut butter. We go a little light w/it in sandwiches as we prefer a higher jam ratio. :-)

I use it for cookies, too - just remember to add a dash of lemon juice in w/the recipe to avoid any discoloration in the cookies (think I read that on the sunflower butter website).

YUM!
