  • Glass jar for storing

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cups roasted peanuts
  • 1 pinch sea salt optional
  • 1 tsp honey optional

Instructions
 

  • Add peanuts to a food processor or high-speed blender.

  • For chunky peanut butter, add a small handful of peanuts at the end and pulse a few times.
  • Transfer to a glass jar and store in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Roasted peanuts give the best flavor
  • Blend longer for extra creamy 
  • Making it for your dog? Skip all add-ins and use plain peanuts only
