I never bought peanut butter because I mistakenly thought it was something that I would NEVER like, so I completely ignored it!
Then, I don’t even remember where I bought it, I had the nice idea to buy it and damn it … I liked it so much that I ate it with my fingers as if it were Nutella!!!!!!
So, I decided to try making it at home, and here is my intense and very creamy homemade peanut butter, a real treat!
The peanuts are a fruit that has 567 calories per 100 grams of product, you can find them salted ready to accompany a nice Aperol Spritz or still to be shelled, therefore natural!
