I know I’m switching lanes at an accelerated speed here, but… come on… it’s chocolate! One of the Melt Organic Buttery Spreads is the beauty you see above and below, Chocolate Melt.
On the container of the Chocolate Melt is a recipe for brownies. Naturally, I made them. Unfortunately, the picture below doesn’t do them justice. They were the most moist brownies I’ve ever made and were insanely good with ice cream.
From Melt Organic’s Website:
MELT® Organic is a line of luscious, all-natural butter improvements for butter lovers seeking an alternative with beneficial ingredients. Its flagship product line, MELT Organic Buttery Spreads, is made from the Perfect Blend™ of fruit- and plant-based oils: virgin coconut, flaxseed, hi-oleic sunflower, palm fruit and canola. Two new products that leverage the company’s tradition of innovation were launched in January 2016 – MELT Organic Buttery Sticks, with a simpler formulation of our VCO blend optimized for baking and cooking, and Probiotic MELT Organic Buttery Spread which delivers active cultures more effectively than yogurt. All MELT products are sustainably sourced and are certified organic, kosher pareve and Non-GMO Project Verified and made with fair trade, organic virgin coconut oil and Rainforest Alliance and Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil Production (RSPO) certified organic palm fruit oil. They are also trans fat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free. Each of our naturally sweetened MELT spreads (Honey and Chocolate) contain just 1 gram of sugar per serving. None of our products contain hydrogenated oils or artificial ingredients of any kind and they never will.
Other Melts are the traditional (pictured below) and a Honey Melt, which is fantastic, too. I’ve eaten each variety on just about anything and everything and, since having the samples sent to me by Melt (in exchange for telling you about them), I have bought EACH flavor several times.
Try not to judge me or my obsession with all things buttery. Read More…
Given that another obsession of mine is sweet potatoes, this beautiful vegetable was actually the first way I used the regular Melt AND the Honey Melt – each are uncommmonly delicious with white potatoes and sweet potatoes. They’re also perfect on cornbread, toast, rolls, carrots, asparagus, corn, pancakes (so is the Chocolate Melt!) and oatmeal.
Find Melt Buttery Spreads in your favorite supermarket, then try them all. I find mine in my local Meijer Supermarket. Whole Foods Markets also carry them. You’re going to be as hooked on them as I am.
