Almond butter is from roasted almond and crushed like peanut butter, it is actually better for you, less fat and more omega 3-6, almond paste is made from unroasted skinless almonds.

How exactly do you make almond paste?

A. Boil them longer, you'll get more oil out of them. Then, use a blender or a food processor, they'll do a quicker job, and much cleaner. Blend for a while, then once it gets clumpy, slowly add a little bit of peanut or some other oil, just till it makes the paste you desire.

A. No, almond paste is not the same although the bakery filling might contain almond paste. Almond filling contains more eggs or butter. Almond paste is very similar to marzipan paste but marzipan contains more sugar. You might have to go to a specialty grocery store or you could make your own. Here is my recipe: almond paste - 1 1/2 cups whole blanched almonds 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted 1 egg white (I'd probably use Just Whites powder for safety) 1 t. almond extract 1/4 t. salt Grind the almonds, a portion at a time, in an electric blender or food chopper, using the fine blade . Combine with sugar, egg white, extract and salt. Work to a stiff paste. Refrigerate or freeze in and airtight container or plastic bag.
