US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Use a pan or wok and turn the heat on to medium. Roast the peanuts, stirring from time to time, until they become light golden brown.
3 cups raw peanuts
Add the oil and keep on roasting for a minute or until golden brown. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer the peanuts into a blender or food processor while still warm. Pulse the blender several times to chop the peanuts into smaller bits.
3 tablespoon vegetable oil
***If you want chunky peanut butter take about ½ cup of the chopped peanuts.
Now, let the blender run for a minute then open and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl using a spatula. It will look coarse and dry at this point but that is ok.
Run again for another minute and scrape again afterwards. Do this repeatedly and several times it will start to get smoother. Continue until you get almost to the texture you like.
Lastly, add the sugar/honey and salt and pulse again until desired texture is achieved. Do not forget to pause and scrape to avoid the blender from overheating too.
¼ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
***Now add the chunky bits and give it another 1 or two quick pulses just to blend.
Transfer to a sterilized jar and enjoy with toast.
