The holidays are the perfect time to give someone dear a sweet treat to enjoy, and Fraser Valley Gourmet’s Almond Butter Crunch was originally created for that very purpose.
One fall in the late eighties, founder Katherine Geiger altered a simple candy recipe she had found, and began to gift her friends and family with almond butter crunch. It wasn’t long before people were clamouring for more of the delicious confection long before Christmastime.
After much insistence from her husband, Kathy was eventually persuaded to book a table at her first craft fair. Her products were well received at the trade shows she attended, and in 2006 she finally allowed herself to believe that she could turn her love of candy making into a business. Now, Fraser Valley Gourmet’s almond butter crunch can be found in retail stores throughout the Lower Mainland and in a few other locations across BC and Alberta.
Kathy firmly believes that if you’re going to indulge in a sweet treat it should be flavourful, and made without unnecessary additives. To this day, her products are still handmade in small batches without any artificial flavours, colors, preservatives, or stabilizers.

Fraser Valley Gourmet Holiday Gift Guide 2015 Giveaway
This year Kathy is once again graciously gifting six of our BC readers with a 300g box of Fraser Valley Gourmet Almond Butter Crunch in their choice of either milk or dark chocolate topping. Enter below for your chance to win!
Open only to residents of BC, Canada.
I would be nice and share with my boyfriend 🙂
That is kind of you. 🙂
I would share it with my family.
That is usually my intention too. I’ve learned that if I open the box when they are around the odds of them getting a piece is much higher. (I have no will power when it comes to this candy.)
If I won a box of Almond Butter Crunch, I would share it with my husband.
Sorry, Not from BC. You can delete me.
