Yep, straight up substitute–behaves exactly like peanut butter would. I tried it once with cashew macadamia butter (also available from TJ’s) and it was mega-awesome.

I realize I could make my own in a blender but I’m lazy and prefer to just buy a jar–and pound for pound the TJ’s butter is comparably priced to bulk cashews so it’s a win/win.
