Easy Homemade Peanut Butter - Creamy or Chunky

I just posted this recipe in another forum but wanted to post it here, too.

Homemade Peanut Butter - Creamy or Chunky
(Makes about 17 servings)

1 1/2 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 tablespoon peanut oil (*I use canola oil), more if needed (depending on desired texture.)
1/4 teaspoon salt

For smooth peanut butter:.
1. Mix the peanuts with the peanut oil & salt, and pour the mixture into the food processor.
2. Process the mixture until it's very smooth.
3. Store your smooth peanut butter in a sealed container in the fridge. It will be good for about 2 weeks.

For chunky peanut butter:.
1. Take about 1/4 cup out of your 1 1/2 cups of peanuts and set them aside.
2. Mix the rest of the peanuts with the oil and salt, and pour the mixture into the food processor.
3. Process the mixture until it's very smooth, then stir in the peanuts that you had set aside.
4. Process a few seconds more to create the chunks in your chunky peanut butter.
5. Store your chunky peanut butter in a sealed container in the fridge. It will be good for about 2 weeks.

I usually add a little honey for sweetness and sometimes I throw in a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder. YUM!
