Ingredients
16 oz honey roasted peanuts or lightly-salted peanuts
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (12 oz)
Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
In a food processor, process the peanuts until they are completely smooth and creamy, about 4-5 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth.
Combine the creamy peanut butter, melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in the food processor and blend until silky.
Taste and adjust the flavor as needed. Transfer to a jar and allow to set to desired consistency.
Notes
For a crunchier texture, add some chopped peanuts after blending.
If the mixture is too thick, a tablespoon of peanut or coconut oil can be added for a smoother texture.
Store in an airtight container. Refrigerate to prolong shelf life.
