Sometimes you want something sweet and chocolaty, but don’t necessarily need all the sugar inside. That’s why Peanut Butter and Company has started creating their own chocolate hazelnut spread called Chocmeister. They sent me a jar of it before it hit the shelves to try out, it has only a quarter of the sugar compared to their competitors on the market and more protein as well.
I’ve always been a fan of chocolate hazelnut spread, it’s a nice addition to toast, on top of ice cream or to use in recipes. With a lower sugar content, I was interested to see how Chocmeister would stand up compared to other bands I have tried in the past. After eating my second spoonful (without anything else) it was easy to tell that Chocmeister was going to be a delicious addition to our pantry. There is a bit of a more nutty taste to the spread, but even with the lower sugar content it hit the sweet spot. I had to put the jar down and hide it for a bit, because Peanut Butter and Company asked me to make a recipe with it, and if I didn’t – well, I wouldn’t have any left to work with!

What is better with chocolate than cupcakes? I actually used our Chocmeister to make a Chocolate Hazelnut Cupcake recipe to share with friends and my students. The rich chocolate taste with the hazelnut flavor give them almost a mocha flavor and they’re completely gluten free!
