The other night I was super lazy (what else is new), and decided that dinner was going to involve the expense of as little energy as possible.
Enter Tropical Traditions coconut peanut butter.
Anything you can think of gets elevated from good to great with just a little bit of this stuff.
I heated some and drizzled it over roasted butternut squash and then had a bit more on a toasted Ezekiel english muffin.
Thus far, Iβve used coconut peanut butter in savory thai noodle dishes on pancakes and with nothing but a spoon β¦and now Iβd like to let you try some for yourself. π
If youβd like to enter to win your very own jar of Tropical Traditions coconut peanut butter, simply leave a comment telling me (aside from coconut), what you think a unique but yummy addition to a nut butter would be. Get creative!
If you tweet about this giveaway mentioning @elisehippie Iβll throw in an extra entry for you, too.
I love this stuff so much, I canβt wait to pick a winner! You have until April 4th (at midnight) to enter, Iβll announce the winner on the morning of the 5th.
This is not an April Fools joke.
This is. Nice try dad.
I think cinnamon and pretty much anything is great….so I vote cinnamon in a nut butter…..maybe not so creative…..but let me win because I really want to try the coconut peanut butter…..lol
I’d use it to frost a cupcake. π
maybe date pieces in peanut butter, because they taste good with pb on them
OH my goodness, I read this entry and nearly wept – the two bestest things ever, have been married? And they’re living together? And they have a beautiful love child?!
Peanut coconut butter – a match made in heaven…
So of course I was over joyed when I saw the offeer, and was thankful that I had one nut-butter trick up my sleeve!
Raspberry Almond Dressing
-around a tablespoon of almond butter
-couple tablespoons raspberry vinegar
-clove or two garlic
-ginger syrup (by-product of making my own crystallized ginger)
-couple table spoons olive oil
I think that’s it!
It is soo good! I really like it on a simple lettuce salad that has things like figs, almonds, avacados, beets, carrots, cucumber, tomato, another vegetable, another fruit, anything you like…from simple salad to complex it was probably the best dressing I’ve ever invented.
Even if don’t win, I’m super happy to share this dressing idea with the veg-web-blog world!
hmmm i think APPLE peanut butter would be good! I love PB on apples, so why not blend the 2?
I think pumpkin would be awesome in peanut butter π
I think cacao nibs would be awesome mixed in nut butter! Chocolatey flavor plus some crunch! :]
Coconut Blackberry Peanut butter. <– My goal to make that this summer. π
Date paste swirled in or maybe just chopped dates. Although I like the swirl idea…
I’d have to go with carob flavored peanut butter. It’s sweet but not too overpowering!
I think a unique jar of nut butter would be peanut, white chocolate, and pretzel!
I just tweeted about this π
definitely some sort of dried strawberry paste or other dried fruit . . .
I think honey would be good with most nut butters. Ginger, honey, and coconut butter sounds like a really good combination to me!
Tweeted it!
Marshmallow nut butter! That would be so naughty!
crushed coffee beans and peanut butter..mmmmm i’d love to try that!
I love bananas and peanut butter together so it only makes sense that they could make a potentially awesome combo in nut butter form. Heck, add in some chocolate and that would truly delicious.
Nutella + peanut butter. Perfect combination, me thinks.
hmmm I think I would probably do Bananas in a nut butter… BUT if I had to think of one CRAZY one it would be cheese doritos π my hubby LOVES PB and Doritos
ooohhhhhh that’s a good April Fools!!
I love this peanut butter, it’s SO good!!
hi elise! thanks for holding this awesome giveaway. an amazing addition to nut butter would be stevia sweetened adzuki beans! it would up the nutrition profile and the flavor is outta control. the idea comes from one of my fav sandwich combos – nut butter (preferably almond or cashew butter) with adzuki bean paste (i just blend boiled adzuki beans with almond milk and stevia until a thick paste) . it gets even better when i take the time to broil it – the adzuki bean gets all gooey and melty with the nut butter. NOM is all i can say!
Pumpkin butter =)
PS: I just realized that two other Haleys have already commented on here! CRAZY! lol.
I like to get a bit crazy sometimes, and I’m thinkin a savory peanut butter might be fun. Something w/ maybe sage or basil. I think it’d be super useful making asian-style sauces, yum!
Some other tropical flavor would be cool like mango. But coconut is the best!
Chopped up pretzels in nut butter!
dark chocolate covered pretzel chunks in peanut or sun butter, please and thanks!
banana would be yummy or wut about pumpkin?!
That coconut peanut butter looks so lush! I think chopped or pureed dates would be a great addition to any nut butter
Pineapple jelly swirls mixed in Peanut butter sounds good right about now π
definitely bacon (or veggie bacon) and peanut butter with a maple swirl…..itd be like a McGriddle on anything!
xoxo
Lo
mmm, I think chai peanut butter would be awesome….. maybe chai chocolate peanut butter ??
Hummus?
Just kidding π
Graham cracker swirl/marshmallows/cacao nib AKA S’mores Peanut Butter. What more do you need?!
Maybe like a butternut squash or sweet potato nut butter would be nice.
I am DYING to try this Tropical Traditions PB!
Awesome giveaway
Xxx
love this question!! hmm they should add peppermint to pb!!
i tweeted!
Iβm with everyone.. ANYTHING with peanut butter is amazing.. But Iβm going to cast my vote for peanut butter with crushed chocolate covered espresso beans.. OMG yum π
I personally think it would be delicious if raisins were added to peanut butter – MMmmmMM! π
I tweeted about this giveaway!
Brown sugar, vanilla, agave, honey, maple, cinnamon, all would be great adds.
Wow I am so excited to hear about this pb as well!! I have 2 ideas- vanilla bean and ginger lime.
I’m gonna tweet this too!! Thanks π
I would love to try that peanut butter! I think a great addition would be chunky dried fruit like dates, apple and blueberries, it would be so good!
Ooh crikey I want that nut butter!!
I would add parsnips to nut butter – they’re my favourite food, plus they’re sweet and just plain old delicious π AND I bet no-one else would want the stuff with parsnips mixed in = more for me π
Just tweeted too!
Just tweeted π
pumpkin or
pistachio or
cookie dough. . .
the possibilities are ENDLESS!!!!!!!
pumpkin or
pistachio or
cookie dough. . .
I’ll try anything that has to do with peanut butter
chocolate raspberry peanut butter!!!
just tweeted too! (is it too early to be drooling over coconut peanut butter???)
vanilla cinnamon swirl!
Cookie dough or coffee peanut butter would be lovely:)
I would make a sauce with that and nutirtional yeast (thin w water as necessary) then saute a bunch of zuccini, onions, garlic and mushrooms add tempeh serve over rice with sauce. Wow! Hungry already.
Dates in peanut butter would be awesome!! I stuff dates with peanut butter anyway, so why not just make a pb with dates already in it?!?
Mmm.. Chocolate chips!
Tweeted π
Caramel pretzel peanut butter!!?
Maple is ALWAYS a good addition
Peanut butter pretzel filled peanut butter! Holllllllllla! A little carob chips thrown in wouldn’t hurt either.
I’ve attempted to make my own cacao peanut butter in the past only to realize that it would be probably be better if someone else made it π Great giveaway, thanks for hosting!
I tweeted
I tweeted! (@AuDRunner)
Maple syrup and pb. yum!
I think a maple flavored one would be great!
I’ve tweeted!!!
I think incorporating pretzels into peanut butter somehow would be so yummy!
I think dried fruits and cinnamon would be fab!!! Chocolate chips and marshmallows would be amazing for anyone with a sweet tooth!!!
Ooo I’ve never seen coconut PB. I’d love date pieces in PB!
chocolate is always a winner in my book but for something a little different maybe ginger?!
hmm…
dark chocolate, cherries, cinnamon, & a touch of cayenne = spicy aztec chocolate nut butter! π love it!
Melted very dark chocolate would be amazing in nut butters. I made this creation like a week ago and enjoy it as often as I can π : I toast a sandwich thin, add sunbutter on one half and top it with grated 90% dark chocolate (it melts because of the heat) and spread the other half with mango jam. Put it all together and… SO DELICIOUS!! While I’m thinking about it, mango in nut butter could be very good too π
And I also retweeted the giveaway on twitter (@exerchealthyeat)
Hmm, what is there that PB & Co. hasn’t already perfected?
I think pb with banana chips would be a great combo.
peanut butter + maple syrup!! not creative but soooo good π
hmmm this has been said but I’m going to go with dates! I think it would make a sweet, delicious peanut butter!!
I tweeted π
Dark chocolate is always good with PB! I really want to try this with coconut though!
This is going to sound like I’m sucking up, but believe it or not I’m obsessed with crystallized ginger too. I think chopped pieces of ginger in peanut butter would be amazing, and would work realllly well in Asian sauce recipes. Yumyumm
I tweeted! @butterjessfly
I can’t think of anything that would NOT go well with peanut butter.
I’d like to add some chocolate covered pretzels for a very dessert-y nut butter!
My current favorite addition to nut butters is cream cheese. PB with cream cheese is amazing!
Pretzels + peanut butter!
I am dying to get a jar of this stuff. It looks amazing!
I’d like a savory nut butter made with papricka or maybe Asian spices.
I bet peanut butter with chunks of chocolate covered apricots would make a lovely combo!
speculoos peanut butter!!! i love speculoos spread and cookies (aka biscoff), and think they would be amazing together as well!
all about that espresso nut butter. i think i’d also swing for a mixed nut butter, like almonds with honey roasted peanuts, or cashew-macadamia. π
Coconut, chocolate, cinnamon, chocolate chips, vanilla, snickerdoodle and ginger cookies π hahah i’m just ranting on.. I should probably stop. Great giveaway!
I would add some spice to the peanut butter. Maybe jalapeno peanut butter. It would be perfect in stirfrys and with noodle dishes, and also make an awesome breakfast treat for spice lovers π
also just tweeted the giveaway!
i’ve had this stuff and it is the BESTTT with kabocha squash. just AMAZING.
i’m thinking coffee incorporated into peanut butter might be delicious…
I would love to use this to make bakes goods!!
Call me boring but I just want this nut butter on toast! Haha
Personally, a really smooth vanilla nut butter would be great – I think the flavour would be best in an almond butter!
I think adding apples would be an amazing idea.
Definitely chocolate! Chocolate with any type of nut butter is the best.
I tweeted! @thebalancedbean
I’ve seen a lot of fruit flavored peanut butters lately but I haven’t seen any apricot peanut butter and i think that would be fantastic!
dark chocolate covered espresso beans in my peanut butter would just be unbelievable. chocolate. coffee. pb. crunch. smooth. YUM!
I really want to try Tropical Traditions coconut peanut butter! I think this kind already exists, but banana pb seems like it would taste great. Also, chocolate anything nut butter, maybe chocolate walnut would be amazing!
As a side dish with chicken, rice and salad dinner. GMa (jk, this is dad on her computer)
Coffee. Coffee caffeinated peanut butter… o yes please and thanks!
Oh man, the coconut peanut butter sounds just amazing! If I don’t win it, I’ll have to try making my own! Caramel would be an awesome add to nut butter I think. Ha on your dad’s joke, how mean! π
Chocolate chip coconut peanut butter sounds like its right up my alley!
I tweeted!
maybe a savory nut butter with basil or oregano? something interesting. it might not taste the best in execution but in theory it sounds great!
by the way, nice name π
Cacao nibs π
I tweeted @djaffee87
I just tweeted about your giveaway!
But basically anything in peanut butter would be good, but I usually mix my peanut butter with chocolate protein powder. Also maple cinnamon is awesome!
Spicy and chocolate are my two favorite flavors, so I think I’d like almond butter with raw cacao and cayenne pepper. Hm, I might just have to give that a try…
Ha, dads are hilarious right? That looks like a prank mine would pull, too π
This may sound weird but what about miso nut butter.
Miso-tahini sauce taste good, so why not miso-nut butter?
Miso + coconut butter, miso+almond butter for the subtle but creamy taste?
yay or nay?
Pingback: Stir-Crazy Coconut French Toast | unmitigated grub
I love adding honey and cinnamon.
I’m also hosting a giveaway at my site this week if anyone is interested: Justin’s nut buter and KIND bars are involvoed π
your dad kinda rules for that joke, but an even better joke would be paula dean becoming lactose intolerant
i think a unique addition to nut butter would be mashed sweet potatoes, you’d mix it in like you would with butter in white potatoes. sounds weird but weird usually works. otherwise i just eat it off of a spoon cause that’s how classy people do it π
Chunky peanut butter with whole white chocolate chips mixed in would be deeeelicious π
I’d love maple mixed with peanut butter!
Banana/honey flavoring!
Im a nut butter purist. Straight from the jar is how I like it best! But for something different, maybe some vanilla beans would be good!
I think an espresso almond butter would be off. the. chain… And maybe it’d be a little more effective at yanking me out of morning-stupor. Yum!
How about banana or flaxseeds? Not much beats coconut though!
to nut butter, i’d probably add mangoes! it sounds like a weird combination but diced mangoes with a drizzle of peanut on top sounds yummmy! the cold and warm combination, and the sweet tangy texture of mangoes would go well with a melty nut butter.. with cinnamon on top.. with some greek yogurt.. YUM! i’m obsessed with mangoes currently π
COOKIE DOUGH nut butter! I know Ashley from Edible Perspective has made some like it, Id love to try it!
Cinnamon is always a winner… Maybe chocolate shavings and dried cherries in reg pb? I love full out choc pb on occasion but it can be a little over whelming
sweet potato nut better. mmmmm my two favorites ever!
How about something spicy like a jalapeΓ±o? π I would enjoy a sweet potato one though!
Maple! I know this isn’t that creative, but it’s so f-ing delish I can hardly stand it. π
Maybe some kind of citrus-y flavor? Or would that be weird? Maybe berry! lol like how jellies are berry flavored. might be good.
I would wonder what it would be like if some kind of cheese was added to nut butter, like a nutty cheese that would compliment it? That might be delicious π
I think a mocha peanut butter would be pretty bomb.
I tweeted about the giveaway from @itsBRITANNIExx π
This makes me so happy ima pee my pants. PB is maybe my favorite thing ever, except for coconut butter. So this is pretty much as good as it gets for me. But other than that, hmm . . . maybe some sort of peanut butter white chocolate combo? I’m reminiscing about Abba Zabba, which I haven’t had in years, haha.
Well since I love peanut butter granola…there should be granola peanut butter!
Dates! I’ve mixed mejdool dates with almond butter in the food processor before and it was sooooo good. Also i saw maple cream on a blog recently, it sounds like a great thing to mix with nut butter as well~
Caramel toffee peanut butter! um, heaven? i think so! π
ps – i love your dad’s april fools joke. bahahha
I think that a spicy chocolate peanut butter would be great! Maybe some dark chocolate with chilis π
peach peanut butter. π
Nutella + peanut butter. I dip two spoons in each jar and I would loooove to have them in one jar. Swoon!
So many possibilities…
banana
banana and cocoa
cocoa
cocoa and preztels
preztels
pretzels and caramel
caramel and apple
caramel and cocoa and pretzels
caramel and cocoa
marshmallow fluff
marshmallow fluff and cocoa
graham crackers, chopped up or crumbed
animal crackers, chopped up or crumbed
before I make this list as long as the blog post itself, I’ll cut myself off. Basically, any combo of the above ingredients would probably be delicious!
forgot to add toffe
…and white chocolate
…and vanilla extract
…and cinnamon is always good too!
Ok, that’s it…I swear!! π
forgot to add toffee
…and white chocolate
…and vanilla extract
…and cinnamon is always good too!
Ok, that’s it…I swear!! π
I would add those little red cinnamon candies!
cashew butter or almond mixed with cocoa and cinnamon
Almond butter with dried tart cherries and dark chocolate sounds yummy to me!
Chinese peanut sauce noodles of course! π
3 tablespoons peanut butter (either chunky or smooth)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
julienned cucumbers and carrots
cooked pasta of any type (angel hair, or regular spaghetti, enough for two people). Mix the above ingredients and enjoy!
mmm so many possibilities… i’m thinking some sort of chocolate bar flavoured, like heath bar infused peanut butter.
PB chips, just to gild the lily π
This is a difficult question…there are just too many options! I think chopped up figs, cinnamon and chile would make for an interesting combination.
Coconut peanut butter? Oh man I am intrigued. I’d go with s’mores peanut butter made with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham crackers chunks π
I would love a vanilla peanut butter…I love vanilla π
Courtney
hmmmm…..maybe banana chips? or CHOCOLATE COVERED BANANA CHIPS? and lets throw some shredded coconut in there too. because, obviously…
Chia seeds!
Thanks for the giveaway! I have been dying to try this nut butter! I think caramel, as long as it wasn’t tooo sweet would be amazing in a dessert nut butter, particularly peanut butter. Chocolate covered peanuts or espresso beans might also be good…or chunks of dates in almond butter, since almond butter plus dates equals amazingness.
It may sound kind of weird, but I often like to mix my PB with wheat germ and apple butter. It makes this delicious, chunky spread!
Hmmm I’d love to see a Cinnamon Brazil Nut Butter! Ooo or Almond Butter with Dried Cranberries!
I’m a big fan of peanut butter with banana but that probably wouldn’t package very well. I also really like peanut butter and cinnamon. Ooh, maybe cinnamon raisin. Wait, I think I just reinvented what PB&Co already makes…
Hmmm…
I’d probaly choose peanut butter and brownie bites. A Brownie PB! Holy YUM, right?!
π
I tweeted!
@FroYoLoverBlog π
Some how if they could swirl together (but not mix) an almond butter and peanut buter that would be awesome:)
dried bing cherry and/or brownie pieces!!! yummm
Can’t WAIT to try the coconut peanut butter, whether I win or not… Do you know if you can buy it in Vancouver Canada?
Also, I tweeted π
I would love to try this nut butter over whole wheat pancakes or vanilla ice cream! Yum!
i love making curry peanut dressing and dipping carrots into it, so curry peanut butter would be awesome!
Dried cranberries and coconut!
Vanilla Cashew Nut Butter!
Dried apple bits would be amazing!
I tweeted π
You can’t go wrong adding chocolate to nut butter π
!!!! you are a genius π i love it.
chai spices would be an awesome addition to peanut butter.. or garam masala –> curry peanut butter!
i tweeted!
Pumpkin Almond Butter π
a peanut butter, nutella, cinnamon hybrid… mmmmm
How about spreading holiday cheer on your sandwich 365 days of the year with ROASTED CHESTNUT BUTTER?
Mmm I like the sound of roasted chestnut butter topped with fresh raspberries snuggled between two slices of multigrain bread.
Or take it to extremes by mixing in chocolate to create a Nutella like combo but with roasted chestnuts instead of hazelnuts.
I think an almond butter with chai flavour would be wonderful – in fact, so wonderful that I’ll have to try it out soon. Cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, clove and almonds? I’m practically drooling!
I think cinnamon would be great… although that’s not very creative.
Maybe carob??
I really don’t think you can screw up nut butter!
chocolate covered sunflower seeds!
marshmallow creme! fluffernutters to a new level.
Hi Elise! What a delicious giveaway! Carob chips and peanut butter would be delicious. I’ve also been adding pb to my soy yogurt because I love the texture combo.
I love mixing in dried currant and cinnamon!
i absolutely LOVEEEE all kinds of nut butters.
i never dried coconut butter, but it sounds delish!
i DEFINATELY would love to try it out on oreos, since i love dipping my oreos in peanut butter.
also, i would eat it on bananas & apples, and possibly even make a sweet/salty fruit dip for dunking!
[i believe the possibilities are endless…]
β₯
how about recreating a pecan cinnamon roll…pecan and apple butter with cinnamon and raisins? yummmmm!!!!!
….i tweeted too :]
i tweeted…
How about a sweet and spicy nut butter? Might have to try that. Hmmm…
I added this nut butter to my amazon wishlist after you mentioned it a couple weeks ago!
Cranberry, orange, and cinnamon swirl in almond butter. Yummm
I’d love to bake cookies with coconut peanut butter! Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway, Elise!
I once made a homemade peanut butter with candied ginger thrown in– it was UNREAL. SO SO good. So yeah, I think candied ginger would be faab.
Hmmm, as weird as this sound I think pineapple in a nut butter would be really good. Maybe cashew butter, or hazelnut?
I would really love to make a chocolate/orange/ginger nut butter… it sounds like with the right balances, it would be amazing! Three of my favorite flavors. π
I would be all over some peanut butter that tastes like Thai peanut sauce. So obsessed.
sunflower seed butter mixed with coconut butter, you must try because you will LOVE it!!!
peanut butter with carob chips….mmm
I think it would be great in a noodle dish!
I tweeted!
I’m weird but I don’t like how natural nut butters are runny so I add wheat bran to them so they become more like a cookie-dough consistency! I LOVE maranartha’s raw almond butter with wheat bran. Then you get protein + fat + fiber! Perfect!
Would peanut butter with cookie dough be too much? haha
Mussaman curry, coconut, peanut butter or yellow curry, coconut, cashew butter…I’m craving curry :/
Peanut butter with dried strawberries. It’s like a built-in PBJ!
Molasses, pumpkin, apples, vanilla, maple, cinnamon, marshmallow….so many to choose from!!
ooh… ricemellow and peanut butter is a yummy combo… or cashew butter and bananas. I don’t think there is much that doesn’t go good with nut butters!
almonds, peanuts, pretzel butter
strawberry!
Peanut butter and chocolate go well together π
This looks great! I think that a banana, almond, coconut combo would be incredible. Some chocolate wouldn’t hurt either.
Or Peppermint chocolate almond? mmmmmm… (:
Have you ever had an ice cream cake when you were a kid? (or ok maybe last week?) Those crunchy things in between the layers of ice cream would be a faboo addition to peanut butter!!
fran
I would love a peanut butter chocolate and hazelnut butter. YUM!
I just had some mango tonight. And fruit and nut butter is always good together. So I’m thinking some kind of mango nut butter just might work, mmm mmmm.
OMG I have been coveting this stuff! Like, hard core.
Hmm, a good Pb addition. I think a good addition would be vanilla, cinnamon, and maple — all in one! I don’t think I have ever seen that combo in PB before…
I’ve been vegan for almost 9 months now and I attempted to make vegan pancakes for the first time last night. It was a total failure. π
What’s the secret to getting them fluffy like the regular ones?
Peanut butter and chai spices!!
Chocolate coffee peanut butter (:
I tweeted ;]
Strawberries! Strawberry nut butter would be amazing on oatmeal or toast!
I’m thinking some chai-spiced almond butter sounds pretty fantastic :). or some cayenne, cinnamon, and dark chocolate almond butter π
YUM!
I’m more of a savory food lover, so maybe PB with some crushed red pepper. Add a bit of toasted sesame oil, soy and rice wine vinegar and you’ll have a nice sauce for pasta! Yum-mie! π
The obvious answer is chocolate nut butter (that term makes me giggle every time). However, given my love of sweet-spicy-savory, what about a nut butter (hah!) with honey and sriracha? Just glob that on anything – rice, noodles, veggies, seitan – and you’ve got an easy-peasy meal! π
I think a pumpkin almond butter sounds pretty tasty!
i think an awesome nut butter combo would be dark chocolate covered cherries and apricots in almond butter!
xo.
tweeted @cox_2446!
ps- my dad would totally say something like that too π
haha.
I think dark chocolate cherry almond butter would be fun. Or even better, coconut vanilla kabocha almond butter. What a mouth-full!
Have a lovely day!
I tweeted about your giveaway!
I think a unique addition would be a mocha/coffee flavored peanut butter!
Okay.. this is going to sound a little crazy… but I’ve been dreaming up a thai curry peanut butter lately: curry powder, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black sesame seeds, and stevia to sweeten. No one steal my idea! It’s going on my blog soon! Bahahahah!
I LOVE NUT BUTTER AND THIS STUFF LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN IN A JAR P.S.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Apples! π
chocolate and banana!
I think that adding smoked paprika and sesame seeds would be a great way to turn nut butters more savory. Great with noodle dishes I would imagine.
Almond butter with white chocolate and cranberries!
Pingback: Booze & Border « hungry hungry hippie

I think almond butter+ marshmellow comb would be delicious.
white chocolate macadamia nut butter!
i love crunchy stuff in nut butters so any broken up nuts, chocolate chips, toffee (!!), coffee beans, cinnamon chips etc, i seriously think everything is good with PB!
I think pumpkin peanut butter would be delicious!
banana coconut?!
I tweeted your giveaway (I’m @kabochavore).
