Nutmare

Iowa's Haunting

The Origin: Before the monsters, before the madness, there was the original. Nutmare Original was created to prove that simple ingredients can still create something unforgettable. Fresh peanuts, a touch of salt, and nothing to hide behind.

Nutmare Warning: Many customers buy this as a “safe choice.” They usually return for more flavors.

The Origin: I wanted a flavor that represented home. Using locally sourced Iowa honey, I created a peanut butter that captures the sweetness of the Midwest while staying true to Nutmare’s dark roots. It’s proof that even Iowa has a few sweet secrets hiding in the shadows.

Nutmare Warning: Strange sightings of empty jars have been reported throughout Iowa.

8oz: $12.99

16oz: $16.99

8oz: $13.99

The Golden Harvest

Devil's Fiddle

The Origin: I wanted to create a peanut butter that felt rich, smooth, and a little special. After discovering acacia honey—one of the sweetest honeys in the world—I knew it deserved its own flavor. Golden Harvest combines fresh peanuts and golden honey into a jar worthy of a king’s table.

Nutmare Warning: May cause customers to stare into the jar searching for hidden treasure.

The Origin: Most spicy peanut butters just bring heat. I wanted something smoky, sweet, and sinister that slowly creeps up on you.

Nutmare Warning: If your ears start smoking, that’s normal.

Spooky Cookie

The Origin: One night I wanted something different from the usual chocolate and honey flavors. I started thinking about those late-night cookie cravings, so I blended the taste of sweet cookies into fresh peanut butter. The result was Spooky Cookie—a flavor that tastes like a haunted bakery after dark.

Nutmare Warning: Do not leave unattended near milk. The cookies may start calling your name.

8oz: $14.99

16oz: $19.99

Ghostly Chill

The Origin: I wanted a flavor that felt like a haunted ice cream shop at midnight. Mint and chocolate seemed like the perfect combination for a chilling Nutmare experience.

Nutmare Warning: Side effects may include freezing in place while staring into the jar.

16oz: $19.99

Batter Splatter

The Origin: I’ve been obsessed with brownies since I was a kid. While creating new Nutmare flavors, I wanted something that tasted like licking brownie batter straight from the bowl. After a lot of testing, Batter Splatter was born.

Nutmare Warning: May result in customers hiding jars from family members.

8oz: $14.99

16oz: $19.99
