  1. Hey dilli,
    thanks for the heads up on the castor bean! I did do a little research on it too.
    This looks like a great recipe, I just bought 2 buckets of nut butters from Once Again in Nunda & was thinking on what to make with all of that peanut butter, so very glad to find your recipe here today! One of the buckets is sunflower butter...i may give that a try in the recipe too.
