Ingredients

  • Super Spackle [1]½ cup unsalted almond butter
  • ½ cup unsalted cashew butter

  • 2 tablespoons almond oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to the bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on low for 30-60 seconds until well combined. It will be very thick.
