I first came across RX Nut Butter Vanilla Almond Butter on a recent trip to Albertsons. As I was stocking up on holiday baking essentials (and again thankfully, I can find everything I need at my local Albertsons), I spied a display of RX Nut Butters and was immediately intrigued. Almond butter is a snack time staple in our house, but we had not really ventured into the world of flavored varieties. And the Vanilla Almond Butter seemed perfect for incorporating into a delectable, better-for-you holiday treat. I grabbed a few jars (okay, several jars) and as soon as I got home, I immediately got to work.

WHY RX NUT BUTTER IS THE BEST

RX Nut Butter ingredients are wholesome, nutritious, and delicious. With only a handful of simple ingredients, each one is added for a reason, this nut butter is perfect for a spread or even just the spoon! With 9 grams of protein and no B.S. it’s the perfect snack—or in this case, almond butter truffles!

I love to make several batches of these to keep on hand for gifting throughout the holiday season. And this year’s version is extra protein-packed, thanks to the addition of Vanilla Almond Butter. You know when you bake cookies and your whole house smells like a sweet, sugary delight? That’s this, but also having a handful of core ingredients. By using real and simple ingredients, they took almond butter to a whole new level! I love that this flavor combination of almond and vanilla pairs perfectly with cranberries and white chocolate. Hence the recipe for these Vanilla Almond Butter Truffles!

  • Microwave the almond butter and honey in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30-45 seconds. 
  • Add cranberries and puffed rice for added texture. You can also use mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and different spices to get different flavored almond butter truffles. 
  • Use a cookie scoop to scoop out balls evenly. 
  • Use damp hands to roll into smooth balls. 
  • Refrigerate the balls for at least one hour before dipping
  • Use coconut oil to thin out white chocolate while melting
  • You can decorate these for any occasion with different colored sprinkles and garnishes!

WHAT KIND OF CHOCOLATE TO USE TO MAKE ALMOND TRUFFLES

When dipping almond butter truffles, I like to use either white or dark chocolate chips. I melt them with a little coconut oil to create thinner dipping chocolate. You can also use candy coating wafers for easy dipping.
