Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter…. that’s actually good for you and made with no added sugar. If you’ve ever wondered if you can make peanut butter at home, get excited because the answer is YES!! And chocolate is involved.
This recipe for Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter is only 4 ingredients:
peanuts,
cocoa powder,
dates, and
coconut oil.
I used dry roasted unsalted peanuts in this recipe, but you can use whatever peanuts you have on hand. Please make sure that you use a food processor (or blender with attachment made for processing nuts). The Vitamix model that I have doesn’t do well for making homemade nut butters, but my food processor does the job! Even though my food processor isn’t as high powered as I would like, it still works for this recipe… if I’m patient with it that is.
Making nut butter at home is easier if you have the right equipment. #goals It takes about 5 minutes of patient grinding and mixing to get the creamy peanut butter consistency that we all know and love, so just keep working the mixture– well unless you like your peanut butter crunchy. Either way, your sweet fingers will be happy when you get it all mixed up 🙂
IMO this Homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter is the best with sliced apples and cheese! YUMMMM!

I love that this is completely homemade and that you used dates to sweeten! We used to make pb-date spread (though I cheated with already ground pb), but I never thought to make it chocolaty, too!
This sounds AMAZING! Yummmmm!
I didn’t know I can prepare it at home, Kristina! Great idea!

Oh my, I would be slathering this on everything in site. It’s my very favorite flavor combo. I would have to make sure to only make a small amount at a time!
Ive never made my own peanut butter before but excited to try this! Chocolate & peanut butter is the best combo!
Yes. Please! A delicious combination of two flavours that are meant to be together. The trouble is, this looks so amazing that I fear if I make it I would put it on absolutely everything!!
I’ve never made any homemade nut butters but this sounds wonderful and easy. Pinning so I can try this soon.
Homemade chocolate peanut butter with simple natural ingredients? Yes please!
Love the addition of cocoa powder to the peanut butter! Sounds like an amazing spread

This is our favourite way to make peanut butter too. Peanut butter and chocolate is such a good combo.
