Instructions
- Blend Peanuts: Place the roasted peanuts in a food processor and blend for 1-2 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides.
- Add Honey and Salt: Add the honey if using and the salt to the peanut mixture, then blend again until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the peanut butter reaches a uniform consistency.

- Adjust the honey to taste or omit for a sugar-free version.
- To achieve chunkier peanut butter, pulse the peanuts instead of blending continuously.
- Always store homemade peanut butter in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
