Kids won't get bored with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made with these gourmet peanut butters. With flavors like vanilla cranberry and chocolate pretzel, these peanut butters are anything but ordinary.
Plus, peanut butter has no cholesterol and is an excellent source of vegetable protein, fiber, magnesium and folate.
Kids allergic to peanut butter? No problem. You can make any of my recipes with almonds, walnuts, cashews or any of your favorite tree nuts. And many of these store-bought gourmet flavors come in almond butters or walnut butters, too.

5. Chocolate Hazelnut Spread

This chocolate hazelnut spread is basically a homemade version of Nutella. Sweet and nutty, this nut butter makes a wonderful spread on bread or whole grain waffles. I like to make sandwiches of this hazelnut spread on whole wheat waffles topped with fresh strawberries.
6. MaraNatha Cashew Macadamia Nut Butter
Cashews and macadamia nuts are blended to make this rich, gourmet nut butter that appeals to kids and adults alike. Spread this nut butter on cinnamon raisin bread and top it with shredded Granny Smith apples for a real sweet-tart flavor sensation.

8. Chocolate Walnut Butter Recipe

Kids can't take peanut butter to school? No problem. Send them in with a sandwich made with this homemade chocolate walnut butter, and they'll be begging you for this lunch again and again. Walnuts are loaded with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. So even though this walnut butter tastes like it can't be good for you, it's actually pretty healthy.
