Make Peanut Butter

Tips

 * If you like chunky peanut butter, set around 1/4 cup of peanuts aside while chopping up the rest in the food processor. Throw them into the food processor only when the rest of peanuts are almost done and are smooth in consistency, and process them for a few more seconds to create the chunks.
 * If it's too salty add more sugar or honey.
 * In some cases, products from stores show you how to make peanut butter at home using their ingredients. This is an alternative for those who have attempted peanut butter making using the above methods and want to stick to the store produce.
 * Add a little bit of water into the blender if you like it smooth.
 * If you want to help keep separation of the oil from the peanuts down, use an oil that is solid at room temperature, like palm oil, coconut oil, or cocoa butter.
 * Consider cutting back on the oil in future batches until you use none. Natural peanut butter contains nothing but peanuts which is a very healthy and tasty food rich in protein.
