Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F.
Spread the peanuts onto a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 6-7 minutes. Remove the nuts from the oven when they have become fragrant and have darkened a shade or two from their original color.
Place the warm nuts in the bowl of your food processor and process until a paste forms, 1-3 minutes. Add oil, 1 tsp at a time, while you are processing or processing in between each addition, until the peanut butter becomes smooth, 1-2 minutes. (If you have very oily nuts, you may not need any oil. If your butter starts to smooth out within the first 3 minutes, just let it keep going without the oil.)
Taste the peanut butter and add in your sweeteners and salt, if you are using them. Always add in small measures and taste as you go. You can always add more, until you reach the peanut butter goodness you are looking for.

Notes

If you would like extra crunchy peanut butter: Process 1/3 c of the peanuts first, until they are coarsely chopped. Remove them from the processor and process the remaining nuts as noted above. When your base is as smooth as you would like it, place the peanut butter in a small bowl and stir in the chopped nuts.
