agree  Mads Grøftehauge: Except it's one word: "kastanjepuré". Plural "kastanjepuréer". Used for deserts, not for spreading on bread (not in Denmark, anyway).

Explanation:
A suggestion - don't use "kastaniemos" that would suggest that it is for babies! Peanut butter is "jordnøddesmør" in Danish which sound quite delicious so "kastaniesmør" is analogous with this. And if this is a new product in the Danish market, well why not coin a new word?

disagree  Mads Grøftehauge: Granted, 'kastanjepuré' is not very commonly used, but I can certainly find it in my local (well-stocked) supermarket. :-)

disagree  Jeanette Brammer: No, you can´t say "kastanjesmør", because it is not nearly as fat as peanutbutter.
