How Youβll Make It
- Prepare the Peanuts: If you're using raw peanuts, roast them on a baking sheet at 350Β°F for about 10 minutes until they are golden and aromatic. Let them cool slightly before using.
- Blend the Peanuts: In a food processor, add the roasted peanuts. Process until they start to break down into peanut butter. This will take 3-5 minutes, and you'll need to scrape down the sides a couple of times during the process.
- Add the Flavors: Once the peanuts have turned into a smooth butter, add the maple syrup, unsweetened cacao powder, salt, and neutral oil (if using). Continue blending until everything is fully incorporated and smooth. You can add more oil if you want it creamier.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the chocolate peanut butter and adjust the sweetness or chocolate flavor as needed by adding more maple syrup or cacao powder.
- Store: Transfer the chocolate peanut butter to a jar or container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Serve: Spread it on toast, pancakes, or use it as a dip for fruit or crackers. You can also eat it by the spoonful for a delicious treat!
