Author: Audra's Appetite
Recipe type: Condiment, Nut Butter
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 heaping cup
Ingredients
- 2 cups cocktail peanuts
- ¼ cup cocoa powder*
- 2-4 tablespoons sugar or sweetener**
- 1 tablespoon oil***
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅛-1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- In a food processor or Vitamix blender, process peanuts until a paste forms.
- Scrape down sides of bowl/blender with spatula and add in cocoa powder, sugar or sweetener, oil, vanilla, and salt.
- Continue to blend until a creamy nut butter forms, scraping side of food processor (or using tamper of Vitamix) as needed to blend. This only takes a few minutes in my Vitamix, but may take up to 10-15 minutes if using a food processor. Be patient!
- Store in refrigerator to keep fresher longer. Should easily last up to a month if stored covered in the fridge!
Notes
*I used 2 tablespoons Hershey's dark cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons regular; use whatever ratio/type you prefer!
**I used 3 packets granulated Monkfruit sweetener, which is the equivalent of 2 tablespoons sugar
***I used sunflower oil, but any type of oil should work!
