Default Coconut Butter

Has anyone here used this? I know it is widely used in raw, vegan foods but
I didn't try it until recently. I was looking for a toast spread but this
isn't going to be it! Reminded me of what a piece of chalk would taste like
if dipped in coconut extract. I tried it twice. First time I couldn't get
much out of the jar because it had just arrived, was very cold and hard as a
rock. Second time, I tried warming it but... Ick.

Tried it again today. Thin layer under some margarine. Thankfully I did
finally find some that I can eat that tastes good. And then a think layer
of orange marmalade. Had to gag it down. The chalkiness and coconut flavor
took over everything else.

I wound up tossing it. It was that bad. I just don't want to try using it
in something else and ruining that. I know some people love the stuff so
much that they eat it straight up with a spoon. I just can't see how.

If you use it... How do you use it? What do you put it in?

Thanks.
