The language used under the picture was offensive and I will not use your website in the future.
Haha. Well then, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and let me know. If a bleeped out curse word online is offensive, I kind of feel sorry for you.
Looks and sounds great my only wish is that the recipes included the nutritional facts.
oh my, even this looks so delicious. i have never bought Justin’s butters, although I see them at my grocery store. Is it one of the best? If so, I’ll definitely consider it. :-)
It’s definitely good, but Nutella is a perfect substitute as well!
Nutella soooooo much sugar!!! Try Peanut Butter & Co Dark Chocolate Dreams instead!!
Yep, that’s a great option too!
Tasty but kind of a weird texture.
Mug cakes usually are. Add 2 Tbsp of beaten egg (I freeze 2T at a time in ice cube trays) for a better texture.
Oh my goodness this looks incredible! Where can I find myself some Justins?
I found it at my local health food/wannabe Whole Foods store. I think I’ve seen it in some “progressive” grocery stores though. There’s always online and nutella would be a fine substitute, same flavor profile.
I followed your recipe for chocolate hazelnut mug cake and found them delicious. Got anything for apple pie :)

Yay, so glad you liked it! I haven’t tried anything with apples yet in the mug cake department but there is a good apple cake recipe on my recipe page that’s pretty simple and seriously delicious!
That mug cake thingy looks delish. I am going to try and veganize it and substitute the milk for almond milk…YUM!
