[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pleased with the Country Crock Original spread, being that it had no artificial preservatives, trans fat, cholesterol, or partially hydrogenated oils. I see that they have taken into consideration the need for more real ingredients. I have used this product on my morning gluten-free toast and also on some fresh banana bread that I baked. The taste was buttery, even though it is actually made with oils, salt, and vinegar. I actually understand all of the ingredients on the back of the container which is also a huge plus. The spread is smooth, making it easy to use 'for spreading', and it keeps its consistency in the refrigerator. I did use it to cook some pancakes in the frying pan and I didn't like the taste of the spread thereafter. I believe this product is best for melting over very low heated foods like toast, veggies, mashed potatoes, topping pancakes, etc, OR in baking recipes. I believe the extensive heat from the frying pan breaks down the spread, which changes its flavor. Overall, I did like the spread and was happy with the improvements that they have made to the ingredients, being real.

I use Country Crock on everything! Bagels, rolls, potatoes, and toast! My absolute FAVORITE thing to do is slather myself in a tub of butter and slithering on the kitchen floor like a slug :) I also have had great fun covering my newborn baby, Julie in this wonderful buttery spread and sliding her down a tarp in my back yard. She loves it so much, although she seems to pass out halfway through. Either way, would 10/10 reccomend!

I used Country Crock back in the 1980s, and it was delicious. Used it in mashed potatoes and on croissants, rolls and biscuits, and I even fried eggs in it. It was that good. Switched to butter after all of the health hype about it being so good for you, but missed my Country Crock, so I bought a tub of the original a few days ago. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. The flavor is horrible and nothing like the original. If you don't go back to the TRUE original recipe for this margarine, I will never buy it again and will just stick to butter or find a better tasting alternative margarine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Country Crock original spread this morning with a bagel that I had. The butter looks good, very similar to any butter that I've gotten before. But when I dug the knife into the container to scoop out some butter, I was surprised at how easily it came out of the tub. The butter is very soft to the touch and spread onto the bagel very effortlessly. No need to wait for it to melt, even though the tub of butter was placed very deeply into my refrigerator! The taste was good too, it was not overpowering at all and made my bagel very nice and soft.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this product!! It's such a great alternative to butter. And I love that there are many options to choose from! I personally Ally like the original. Will definitely buy again! *I received free product for my unbiased review.*

Would go thur a tub a week before you changed. Now i have had the same tub for over a month and still have over half of it left. Made the mistake of buying two at the same time haven't opened the other one yet and won't be buying anymore unless it's changed back.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using Country Crock for years. The original is the best. I use it to make my mashed potatoes creamier, for my toast, etc. I would not use it for baking though. Only real butter for baking. Margarine makes it taste odd and the cookies much thinner and funnier than real butter. I received this product for free for my honest review.

As a chef, restaurant owner, and long time consumer with zero extra time in my hands, I feel compelled to write a review. At first, we hated the new container. It is flimsy and cheap. I thought maybe that is why the spread inside was so runny.... Perhaps the thin container allowed the contents to come to warm temperature quicker. So I went on a scavenger hunt in my city buying up all the round tubs. During this time, several dairy managers shared their disdain in regard to the tubs and that people were complaining about the new Country Crock. While on my last, glorious round tub, I transferred some of a new one into the old tub and realized that this was indeed a new recipe. And it is is just terrible. While I prefer real butter, my customers enjoy familiarity on their toast. Plus, I grew up on Country Crock and it is far more affordable in my cafe. Guess it's time to buy Blue Bonnet... Or pony up for the real stuff. I cannot serve this runny, yellow, artificial tasting gunk to my customers. So, please, please, Country Crock developers and executives... Time to review your recipe and perhaps try some due diligence this time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a free sample of this product courtesy of Influenster. I found that Country Crock was easy to scoop out and measure for baking purposes. I baked some chocolate chip cookies from a pre-made mix. I found that the cookies had a very fluffy texture, which was yummy. I think this spread will also be delicious on bagels, toast or grilled cheese.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been buying country crock for 10 years now. I used it to boil my pasta for a smooth finish and added, flavor on toast for spaghetti with garlic salt. Country Croker has been a part of our families cooking for years
