Gourmet peanut spreads

It all started at a restaurant called Spread in San Diego, California where a couple of inventive people reinvented one of the most classic comfort foods: peanut butter. Instead of sticking with the traditional "butter" label, the restaurant turned all natural ingredients into a wide variety of nut "spreads." Not only are they organic and without preservatives, but the gourmet peanut spreads and almond spreads are all made by hand and sold in 4-ounce containers. Some varieties are seasonal, but many offerings are available year round and all can be ordered online. Their best seller is the Seasonal Cinnamon, which began as a seasonal flavor, as the name suggests, but is now so popular it sells all year. Dark Chocolate with Pretzels sounds like a combination made in heaven to me, but Chili Mango and White Chocolate Espresso Almond sound fantastic as well.
