Do you have any favorites? Which have you tried, which would you like to try? Have you ever made any from scratch?
 
I LOVE peanut butter. I like almond and cashew butters, but I adore peanut butter. And while I can eat pretty much any peanut butter, my ideal is organic roasted peanuts with salt in a glass jar. (I hate to buy peanut butter in plastic jars.)

Peanut butter, rather boring I know. I love the organic Whole Earth PB.
 
I love peanut butter. And cashew butter. I will use almond on occasion but it's my least favorite.

When my husband was working full time I splurged on a cashew/macadamia blend. That stuff was good. And expensive!

I was about to say that I don't think I have ever seen soynut butter, but then I realised that I have!

Tahini hands down. Then peanut butter, then almond butter, then sunflower butter. Strangely I have never tried cashew butter or soynut butter. I have made my own homemade peanut butter and also almond butter and sesame butter with my awesome blendtec. I tried to make my own sunflower butter but the consistency was wrong.
 
I should try tahini again. I like sesame seeds but I had tahini years ago and didn't like it. Whenever I make a recipe that calls for it, I always leave it out. I think I need to give it another chance.

I love peanut butter, but can't eat it so I have to say it's almond butter. I sometimes eat soynut butter too but not as often. I only use cashew butter in recipes, same for tahini. Tahini sauce for dipping falafel or pita sandwiches is delicious.

One of these days (when I get a candy thermometer) I'm going to make some halvah with the tahini. I love halvah, especially when it's covered in chocolate. :lick:

For those wondering what halvah is: Halvah and Turkish Delight - Candy Blog

I love peanut butter! :D It's excellent for everything. Spreads, dinner and guess even desserts.

Tahini is more of a dip or sauce than a butter. I think I've seen actual sesame butter in the HFS a while ago.
 
I must be the odd one out then, as I can eat tahini straight out of the jar. :p HOWEVER, it does make me gassy for hours after. I rarely buy it because I can't leave it alone.
