Share:
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter 9 oz/ 250 g, Notes 1, 2, or mixed nut butter
- scant ½ cup dark chocolate chopped, 3 oz/ 80 g, 70 % cocoa
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sweetener and to taste, Note 3, of choice
- salt if the nut butter is unsalted, a pinch
Instructions
Melt the chocolate
- Chop the chocolate and melt it in a double boiler or bain-marie. Find a pan that fits this bowl and fill it with some water, ensuring the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl. Place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Fit the bowl on top of the pan, heat the water on medium-low heat, and let the chocolate melt while stirring occasionally. Don't let the water start to boil, if it does, turn off the heat and stir the chocolate until completely melted.scant ½ cup dark chocolate/ 80 g
Combine:
- Add the coconut oil and stir until incorporated.1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, salt, and sweetener to taste. Mix very thoroughly.1 cup peanut or mixed nut butter/ 250 g + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + sweetener of choice + a pinch of salt
- Pour the chocolate peanut spread into a jar and let it cool, and set for several hours before serving.
- Store at room temperature. Keeping the spread in the fridge will cause it to harden, so let it come to room temperature before serving (Note 4).
Notes
- Consistency: The chocolate peanut butter has a runnier consistency than bought chocolate nut butter. That is the way it is supposed to be; don't assume that the recipe went wrong. It is still set enough for you to spread it but also runny enough to use as a dip.
- The nutrition is calculated for the whole jar.
- Nut butter: You can make the spread with pure peanut butter or mixed nut butter.
- The best is homemade peanut or nut butter; see the blog post for instructions on how to make homemade nut butter. Alternatively, use bought pure nut butter with no sugar in it.
- Sweetener: I used both stevia and xylitol over the years; both are perfect. Use to taste, not too much; the chocolate nut spread should not be too sweet. Icing sugar can be used instead. Don't use granulated sugar, as it will not dissolve, and the spread will be grainy.
