Ingredients
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups shelled unsalted roasted peanuts
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vegetable or peanut oil
1 1/2 cups shelled unsalted roasted peanuts
Step by step
Place the peanuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Process for 3 to 4 minutes then scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue processing as the peanuts go through various stages: First the nuts will turn into crumbles, then the crumbles will form into a ball, and then the ball will break down into creamy peanut butter.
Once you reach the creamy stage, stop the processor and add the chocolate chips, then continue processing and drizzle in the oil and vanilla extract and blend just until smooth. The peanut butter is then ready to serve.
