See if Justin's Hazelnut Butter spread is available. Much less sugar, and less palm oil (more actual nuts) and Justin's also a member of RSPO.

It will cost you about an arm and a leg, but it's oh, so good.

Sadly, I don't there's a way to directly link to the product description, which is really silly, but allows you to explore some other things they have. Their Vanilla Almond Butter tastes like cookie dough. In a good way.
