Abstract: In a first embodiment, the invention is directed to a process for making a variegated nut spread comprising (a) forming an enclosure from a film, b) pumping a nut spread into the enclosure; and (c) before, during, or after step (b), pumping in a separate stream of an inclusion to form a variegated nut spread; and (d) sealing the enclosure to form a container without homogenizing the nut spread and inclusions. The inclusion is generally another food component which is desirably eaten with peanut butter, such as fruit filling variegate, banana, marshmallow filling, chocolate, bacon bits, etc. The invention is also directed to a nut spread, comprising discrete inclusions selected from the group consisting of chocolate syrup, fruit and mixtures thereof. The inclusions in the nut butter of the inventions are discrete so that consumers can experience simultaneously organoleptic properties both of the inclusions and the nut butter.

Abstract: A peanut or other nut spread with reduced levels of adjusted carbohydrates. The spread preferably includes peanuts, added peanut oil, added vegetable protein such as soy protein, and a stabilizer. An high intensity sweetener may also be included.

Abstract: In a first embodiment, the invention is directed to an edible product comprising a squeezable nut butter in combination with a further edible component. The component is generally another food component which is desirably eaten with peanut butter, such as jelly, banana, marshmallow filling, chocolate, bacon bits, etc. Also, a squeezable edible product can advantageously be dispensed from a tube having an applicator cap with a dispensing orifice. Preferably the squeezable product is peanut butter, optionally in combination with a further food component such as jelly. The nut butter or other edible food is sufficiently flowable to be readily squeezable, yet is viscous enough such that its application can be easily controlled. It does not flow so freely so that its placement is beyond the control or the user.
