Kelly Loves Hazelnut Crack. Er, I Mean Butter.


A tub of delicious amazingness. Okay fine, half a tub.

So last night Julia and I were leaving Alchemy of Movement, fresh and sweaty after a great hour of dancing with Maria, when what should catch our eye but that Alchemy has a new neighbor. And a famous one, to boot. Our humble little strip mall is now home to none other than the offices of Justin's Nut Butter.

Now for those of you who aren't familiar with the deliciousness that is Justin's, get thee to your nearest Whole Foods and partake of either the Cinnamon Peanut Butter (yum!) or the Maple Almond Butter (yum yum!). While the company has risen to fame for it's ingenious packaging (individually portioned packets you can take with you skiing, on a hike, or on a meditation retreat--I speak from experience on all three counts) it's what's in the packet that you really shouldn't miss.

Julia and me, we're the intrepid types. As soon as we saw it was Justin's, we walked right in the front door. Turns out the very tall, very cute guy who was sitting just inside was none other than THE Justin of Justin's Nut Butters! Go figure! He's ingenious AND tall AND cute. That seems to be more than any one person's fair share, don't you think?


Now as you can imagine, there was perhaps just one thing on the planet that could have taken my attention off tall, cute, ingenious guy. And wouldn't you know it? That one thing was sitting right there on the counter in front of him. My attention alighted on a tub of his new Chocolate Hazelnut Butter, and I saw Justin no more.

All natural. 60% less sugar than Nutella. If it had been organic, I might have died on the spot.

My excitement must have been obvious (maybe it was all the jumping up and down) because Justin disappeared into the back room and returned with two tubs of said all natural 60% less sugar than Nutella chocolate hazelnut crack. I was only slightly disappointed when he said I had to give one of them to Julia. (She bought me dinner later, which made up for it. Kind of.)

As it turns out, he's nice to boot. Who'd have known?
