Creamy homemade chocolate peanut butter spread made in minutes. All you need is peanuts and chocolate.
My favourite spread is peanut butter, I have it on bread, on crackers, use it as a dip, make spicy peanut soup with it. Now add melted chocolate to peanut butter and we have a winner. Even better when it is homemade. To make this creamy chocolate peanut butter spread the only equipment you will need is a food processor. That’s how easy it is.
Start off by processing the peanuts. It will go through several stages, the coarse crumb peanut stage, the fine crumb peanut stage, the dough ball stage and then finally creamy peanut butter.
Making homemade peanut butter takes patience. The processes it goes through makes you think will it come together, will it not. You stare at it thinking that doesn’t look right. Every so often during the blending process you made have to stir the peanuts. Don’t worry the buttery goodness will come.
Mix in melted dark chocolate and the result is some creamy chocolate peanut butter goodness.
I made a batch of this creamy homemade chocolate peanut butter spread using milk chocolate as well.
