homemade chocolate peanut butter is the feature today. after an EPIC sunday-running into-monday adventure watching julie and julia and baking croissants from annie's eats with my friend and colleague talia (we finished at 2am), i didn't have much energy for cooking yesterday afternoon.
a nine-hour project will do that to you.
i therefore present you with an easy recipe that you may not have previously considered. perfect on celery, toast, or by the spoonful, compare this homemade chocolate peanut butter to peanut butter & co peanut butters. there are many ways to customize: different kinds of peanuts (honey roasted), different kinds of chocolate (dark, white, milk), honey, maple syrup, cinnamon, raisins...
