Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) honey roasted peanuts or lightly-salted peanuts
- 2 cups (12 ounces or 340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Seasoning:
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize raw peanuts in a food processor, continuously scraping down sides, until a luxurious, glossy butter forms with a velvety texture, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Gently melt chocolate chips using a microwave-safe vessel or double boiler method, stirring consistently until achieving a perfectly smooth, glossy consistency.
- Incorporate the freshly crafted peanut butter, molten chocolate, aromatic vanilla extract, and delicate salt into the food processor, blending meticulously until a harmonious, silken mixture emerges.
- Perform a flavor calibration, adjusting seasonings to personal preference by tasting the spread and making subtle modifications as desired.
- Carefully transfer the decadent chocolate-peanut butter fusion into a clean glass jar, allowing the mixture to stabilize and develop its ideal textural composition at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Ensure peanuts are completely dry before processing to achieve the smoothest, creamiest peanut butter texture without water interference.
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor profile that complements the nutty peanut butter base.
- For a vegan version, swap dairy chocolate with dairy-free dark chocolate chips and confirm all ingredients are plant-based.
- Store the blended spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent separation of ingredients.
