Bliss Nut Butters hit my top picks for this year’s Expo West! Then shortly after the show, I got the opportunity to sample full size jars at home!
And by nut butters, they currently mean Hazelnut Butter plus loads of Peanut Butters (Original, Chia Seed, and Cinnamon Chia Seed). Although I’m betting there is more nuttiness on the way. That said, all of the Bliss Nut Butters (we’ll just lump the peanut butters under this label for simplicity sake!) have a unique consistency – they’re not smooth but they’re not quite chunky. I’d describe the texture as a roughly ground micro-chunkiness that is uniform throughout.
This rough yet still decently spreadable texture really helps the peanut and nut flavors shine. And though I usually only buy unsweetened nut butters, I have to admit that the little spike of honey makes Bliss Nut Butters a delightful spread with nothing else required. I could even enjoy these as a “frosting” on healthy muffins. I also love that two of the peanut butters are rich with chia seeds!
My only two wishes for Bliss Nut Butters is that they either tone down the sea salt or use a finer grind… Each bite seems to end with a very potent salty note – and that they cut the added sunflower oil. I’m not completely sure if the oil is the issue, but these nut butters tend to stay a little “greasy” even when thoroughly stirred and even chilled to prevent separation and encourage freshness.

It’s amazing to me how many different types and kinds of nut butters there are these days! And so many amazing and creative flavors!
I know, someone could be a nut butter taster!
I have never heard of this brand! My brother is a big nut butter person, I wonder if he’s tried this! Love the addition of chia seeds.
They’re a fairly new brand, so this might be a fun surprise for him!
I love a good nut butter! These seem like an interesting option with some ups and downs!
