1.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT the original Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter ! September 23, 2011

By Ena

Amazon Verified Purchase

I hate to be the only one with 1 star review here, but I have to warn - I ordered Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter because I loved the original. However, they recently (Sept. 2011) changed the formula which now includes almonds in addition to hazelnuts. The new label says "Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Blend". The added word "blend" is tiny, but the taste difference is huge and and I don't like this new version. Justin's customer support team confirmed they changed the recipe and that they are now only making the "Blend" version.

We'll see what other customers say about this new concoction. As for me - I'm not liking it. Justin, the original "Chocolate Hazelnut Butter" without almonds was WAAAAAAY better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adult Nutella?! July 29, 2010

By Bianca

Ok, maybe not quite. But that is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this at the store today. I bought a little squeeze pack to try it and.... OH MY. This is sooooooooooooo delicious. It's a bit salty, a bit sweet, and really does make me think of Nutella. A couple of things, though... this nut butter isn't completely smooth and it isn't really even close to being like Nutella. BUT it so much more satisfying because it is a nut butter not just chocolatey sweetness like Nutella is. I am so in love with this Chocolate Hazelnut butter that I am buying the three pack as soon as I am done typing this. I bought a squeeze pack of the Chocolate Almond as well and I don't like it as much. It is good, but the Hazelnut is totally out of this world. And because it is a rich, satisfying food I will be less likely to eat the whole jar in two days like I do on the rare occasion that I allow myself to buy Nutella. Thank you, for this product.... it allows me to think of my childhood in Germany without making me totally nuts with guilt over what I am putting in my mouth. That's not to say that I will never buy Nutella again... because I will, but I don't think I'll feel the overwhelming urge quite as often with this stuff in my house. Yum, yum.

Before I sign off, though, I would like to emphasize once more (so I don't get hate comments on my review): This is not a Nutella copycat, not even close... but if you love that and you love nut butters then you will be in chocolatey, nutty heaven with Justin's.

UPDATE 10/09/2012: Yes, yes the formula has changed. I'm guessing because Hazelnuts are expensive. That being said, I broke down and tried the new BLEND this morning... and you know what?... It isn't anywhere near as bad as all of these 1 star reviews are making it out to be. Yes, the flavor of Hazelnut is not nearly as strong, but it IS there, and I still thought it was delicious. In fact, I found the blend to be just a little creamier than the original all-hazelnut version and I rather liked it. Did I prefer the pure Hazelnut? Yes. Do I like the new "Blend"? Yes. I liked it enough that I stand by my original five star rating. Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 stars Original hazelnut butter vs new almond-hazelnut blend February 15, 2012

By Smart Shopper

I have both original and new formula at home. They taste almost the same, but new formula separated after opening and has more oil IMHO. My child loves Nutella, we recently started on a dairy free diet, and this is an ok substitute for our favorite Ferrero nutella spread. I personally didn't like justin's hazelnut butter taste, especially weird aftertaste, but, since new formula contains almonds, they should put almond picture on the label and the word "blend" should be the same size as brand name on the label. They should also lower the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars New Formula February 4, 2012

By Katy

I originally purchased this product from Amazon a few months ago, and was very satisfied. Shortly after, I bought it in a health food store and could not understand the difference! I have since realized that the second jar, which still sits half-full in my cupboard, is a new formula. They have changed the recipe to include a hazelnut-almond blend. Definitely not the same texture or taste as the original. Very disappointed!

1.0 out of 5 stars Old formula - a winner with my family; New formula - won't touch it February 14, 2012

By Praskofka

The old formula, which doesn't contain almonds, is oustanding; I would put a very thin layer on a slice of bread and I could say it is like heaven. The new formula tastes different, looks different....and I would simply not buy it again. I would try to see if Target has any left in stock though the last jar I bought there had an expiration of May. It is truly dissapointing for the company to go the cheap route and change the formula without surveying its customers first. Market share is hard to gain and easy to lose. There are a couple of other brands of chocolate hazelnut butter on the market and I am willing to give the Italian one a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Nutella! August 27, 2010

By Subliminal Misanthrope

Oh my God, this hazelnut butter is so addictive I have to hide it from myself! :)
I originally got a couple of single packs at a local health food store because I didn't want to risk buying a whole jar of the 'unknown'. After I tried it, I RAN back to the store to stock up. :) The taste is out of this world and the ingredients are so simple, it's amazing. It really does taste a lot like Nutella, only in a more grown up way. :) It's also not as smooth as Nutella (it has a grainier texture) but I don't mind one bit. I actually prefer it to Nutella (even though I grew up eating Nutella and it used to be one of my all time favorite foods). I've also tried the almond butter and the maple almond flavors--both beyond delicious! Also, even though it doesn't say it on the jar, I'm pretty sure it's vegan too! I've signed up for email alerts from Amazon, so let's hope they bring it back soon.
In case you're wondering: no, I don't work for the company and I have no idea who 'Justin' is, I'm just in love with their products! :)
