Reginald’s Homemade Nut Butters
Reginald’s Homemade Nut Butters
When we first wrote about Reginald’s two years ago, founder Andrew Broocker could be found flogging his sumptuous peanut butters at farmer’s markets on Saturday mornings. Soon, folks were lining up for his bourbon pecan, AppleSin, NanaHoney and double chocolate chunk peanut butters. Others crowded around for his hazelnut amaretto and the white chocolate macadamia peanut butters. Soon there were write-ups in Bon Appetit and Cooking Light and an appearance on The TODAY Show. (Kathie Lee and Hoda lapped them up.) Now the nut butters are on grocery store shelves in 11 states from coast to coast. Despite the growth spurt, Broocker says his payroll is “still basically two-and-a-half employees. And some random people who help out with labeling and stuff.” Obviously, he’s not jaded by success. He’s still hard at work: Look for two new flavors now in the works. Oh, how we love our Reginald’s. $5-$8 per jar. ReginaldsHomemade.com
