Feeling Home-makey

The other day I was looking at recipes online and I saw this yumminess and decided I must try it.  It is homemade peanut butter, and she has a chocolate variety as well.  I was hooked.  I was in love!  I had to make this!

Except I have no food processor.  I had one at one time.  But I never used it.  So I passed it on to someone who really did want one and who did use it, and I never missed it.  Until now.

Never fear, we have a thrift store on base.  I took myself over to it to check out their offerings.

And I found this!  For $4, it was mine.

Yep, it is a super cool Japanese food processor. And today, I made peanut butter in it! 

I had me some peanuts and I tossed them in.

I love this machine.  Super simple! You just push on the top.

 And your peanuts magically become something even better.

 It really does take 5 minutes to get it to peanut-buttery consistency.

Thankfully, I had a good helper.

 And oh yes, we did add chocolate chips to one batch and it was divine!!

And then I made THESE!

Yum. I'm going to make my own chocolate peanut butter now. I stopped buying the Nutella when I looked at the ingredients-- high fructose corn syrup.
