Here is a recipe your kids can help you with. They can shell the nuts, measure them and with supervision blend the nuts.
Making your own nut butter so easy you will be wondering why you haven't made it before. All you need is nuts; peanuts, almonds or cashews all work wonderfully. You can also add a very small amount of peanut oil, a pinch of sea salt, some honey, or a touch of chocolate. Add the extra ingredients right along with the peanuts and blend.
- 3 cups shelled nuts= about 1-1/2 cups peanut butter
3 cups (about 24 oz.) roasted nuts, shelled peanuts, almonds or cashews
optional ingredients: oil, sea salt, honey, sesame seeds, chocolate, etc.

- Place shelled nuts into blender or food processor. Secure the lid. (A food processor works best)
- Turn on machine and blend on low until nuts are ground.
- Turn to highest setting and process until peanut butter begins to move freely through the blades.
- Stop the machine once or twice during blending to scrape down the sides.
- Continue blending until desired consistency is reached.
- For crunchy peanut butter stop blending when there are still small bits of peanuts in the peanut butter.
- You may need to add a little peanut or canola oil while processing to help smooth the nut butter.
