Sweet and Spiced Peanut Butter

Cuisinart original

Once you see how simple it is to make your own peanut butter at home, you will wonder why you ever purchased it. Here we give a sweeter version, but you can adjust the sugar and spices to whatever you wish, or just leave it plain with a bit of salt. Process fully for a creamy version, or if a chunky style is preferred, add additional peanuts after processing and pulse to combine.
