Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14, 2010

Whether you celebrate it or not, have a special Valentine, love it or hate it I’m wishing you a beautiful day! The kind of day that is perfect for a giveaway.

I don’t review a lot of products on my site mainly because there are few packaged foods out there that are natural enough that I don’t classify them as processed. However, when I find one that I love I want to share it with you and help you score some of your own in the process.

Soon after I reviewed Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, I was contacted to see if I’d like to review another one of their products. My eye had been on the coconut peanut butter since I discovered the company so I certainly didn’t pass up the opportunity.

Tropical Traditions Coconut Peanut Butter has two ingredients – 100% organic dried coconut from the Philippines and 100% organic roasted Valencia peanuts from the US.

The combination of the two creates a spread, more dense than peanut butter, with a sweet flavor that makes you think there has to be sugar in there, or salt, or something. Nope, just two ingredients.


I love snacking on it by the spoonful, but spread on warm toast it is even better. The second the peanut butter hits the bread the coconut oils kick in and it turns into a smooth, melty topping worthy of dessert status.
This Coconut Peanut Butter will be making a regular appearance in my kitchen and will likely turn into a gift for some of the nut butter and coconut lovers in my life.
Lucky for you I’ve got one for your kitchen too!
Tropical Traditions will give away one jar of their Coconut Peanut Butter to one of my readers. The contest is open to those with a US or Canada address.
As requested by my giveaway givers you’ll need to subscribe to the Tropical Traditions Newsletter to enter. Tell me you did so or already do in the comments.

For additional entries follow me on Twitter, follow my blog, tweet about the contest or blog about it. Leave a comment for each thing you do (as well as your Twitter name and link as it applies) if you want it to be counted as a separate entry.
Good luck! Entry deadline is 12:00 pm EST Friday, February 19, 2010. I’ll select the winner randomly that afternoon.

Disclaimer: Tropical Traditions provided me with a free sample of this product to review, and I was under no obligation to review it if I so chose. Nor was I under any obligation to write a positive review or sponsor a product giveaway in return for the free product.
