The four flavored butters you need in your dorm fridge


Do you ever have a midnight craving for peanut butter before bed? I know I do. Here’s to those late nights  stock up on four peanut butter alternatives that will have you reaching for more.

  1. Coconut Peanut Butter

Does your peanut butter need an upgrade? Whole Foods’s Coconut Butter combines the classic creamy taste of peanut butter with a hint of coconut, creating the perfect salty and sweet combo.

  1. Cookie Butter

If you haven’t tried cookie butter yet, you are missing out, my friend. Offered at Trader Joe’s in multiple flavors from original to chocolate swirl, this heavenly spread tastes just like crushed up cookies. With its smooth consistency, a spoonful will satisfy your sweet tooth, but good luck stopping after just one! Cookie butter also can be the perfect topping to put on toast, in crepes or even on top of ice cream.

Sick of peanut butter? Almond butter is a great alternative if you’re craving something a little salty. In need of a quick and easy breakfast? Slice up a banana into slivers and place a spoonful of almond butter on each. Voila!
