Description

This Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter recipe combines rich roasted peanuts with unsweetened cocoa powder, honey, and powdered sugar to create a smooth, creamy, and deliciously chocolatey spread. Perfect as a versatile spread on toast, fruit, or as a dip, it offers a delightful twist on traditional peanut butter with a natural sweetness and chocolate flavor, made entirely from scratch using simple wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Base

  • 2 cups roasted unsalted peanuts
  • 1 teaspoon peanut oil (or as needed)
  • Kosher salt (to taste)

Chocolate Flavoring

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons honey

Instructions

  1. Blend peanuts: Place the roasted unsalted peanuts in a food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes until they start forming a coarse paste, breaking down the peanuts and releasing their natural oils.
  2. Add ingredients: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, honey, kosher salt, and peanut oil to the food processor. Blend for an additional 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and shiny.
  3. Adjust taste: Taste the chocolate peanut butter and adjust the sweetness and texture by adding more powdered sugar for sweetness or peanut oil for creaminess as needed, then blend briefly to incorporate.
  4. Store: Transfer the finished chocolate peanut butter into an airtight jar. It can be stored at room temperature for short-term use or refrigerated to extend freshness.
  5. Serve: Enjoy this versatile homemade chocolate peanut butter spread on toast, fruit slices, or as a dip for snacks and desserts.

Notes

  • Use roasted unsalted peanuts for the best flavor and control over saltiness.
  • Adjust the amount of honey and powdered sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a little more peanut oil to reach your desired consistency.
  • This spread can be stored at room temperature for a few days, but refrigeration is recommended for longer shelf life.
  • Ensure your food processor is powerful enough to create a smooth and creamy texture.
