"Almond butter is not a variety of butter, instead, it is actually an alternative choice of peanut butter that you could consume as a sandwich spread or additional ingredients for cake or smoothies (depends on the fruit since not all fruit smoothies could be mixed with almond butter). In other words, you could substitute peanut butter for almond butter and vice versa but you cannot substitute butter with almond butter, especially in cake, the result will be different. However, still most people will wonder what makes almond butter and peanut butter is so different. "
