My project for the Family Reunion auction is homemade peanut butter!  Enjoy the recipes!

 

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter (Original recipe from Oh She Glows)

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups of Almonds (I use unsalted)
  • 1/2 Cup of Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
Preparation:
Place the almonds in the food processor and process for about 15 minutes while occasionally scraping down the sides.  It will look smooth and runny when it is ready!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Melt the chocolate in the microwave on a low in 20 second intervals, stirring between each round.  Pour the melted chocolate and the salt into the almond butter. Process for a couple more minutes to get everything mixed together, and then you have homemade almond butter!

 

Honey Crunch Peanut Butter (Original recipe from Kath Eats Real Food)

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups honey roasted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup honey roasted peanuts to add in at the end
Preparation:
Place nuts in the food processor and scrape down the sides while processing for about 3 minutes until runny.  Then, add the extra half cup of nuts and pulse for just a little bit longer to make the peanut butter crunchy.  Enjoy!
White Chocolate Peanut Butter
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups peanuts (I use unsalted)
  • 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips or melting chocolate
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
Preparation:
Place peanuts into the food processor and process while occasionally scraping down the sides until runny and buttery (around 3 minutes).  Melt the white chocolate chips either over the stove on low, or in the microwave in 20 second intervals stirring between each one.  Add in the melted chocolate and salt once the peanuts have turned into butter.  Process for a couple more minutes to make sure everything is mixed together.
