Homemade White Chocolate Peanut Butter.
So… you want to know what kind of peanut butter was in that peanut butter and jelly snack cake?
It would be these peanuts.
Churned into this.
Then swirled into this.
Oh… with a little bit of this throw in.
And changing this beauty…
…into this.
Yes.
Please.
I think we all know my deep obsession with white chocolate wonderful peanut butter. What we don’t all know is how serious my jar-a-week habit is. Well, I know. Mr. How Sweet knows.
Our bank account knows.
My jeans know.
Something had to be done.
So last weekend I snapped out of my peanut butter addiction denial and whipped up a batch. Then I ate it. And I put some in that cake. Then I ate the rest. It tastes just like white chocolate wonderful. But it’s even creamier. It’s like silk. Silk in peanut butter form.
Don’t mind me. I’m going to go die now.
Homemade White Chocolate Peanut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dry, roasted peanuts (I used salted)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1/3 cup white chocolate chips/chunks/bars, melted
Instructions
- Add peanuts to a food processor and blend until a thick nut butter forms. Stream in oil and vanilla with the processor on, continuing to run it until the mixture is smooth – this took me about 3-4 minutes. You can add more oil if needed, just do it in small increments. Turn off processor, add melted chocolate, and turn processor back on. Blend until smooth.
- I kept mine at room temperature for a week, but I do recommend refrigerating the butter if you want to keep it for a few weeks.

I would have definitely just eaten this straight up on a spoon too! I think there was an episode of Best Thing I Ever Ate that featured some white chocolate peanut butter with pretzels mixed in, that sounds really good too!!
I have that same little bowl from anthropologie, love it!! :)
Oh my gawd. You just combined two of my favorite flavors EVER, in one jar. (Thank you for leaving out my third favorite, though: garlic.) This looks especially amazing because I no longer let myself buy White Chocolate Wonderful. ;)
I love PB&Co peanut butters, the honey one is awesome too, but the White Chocolate is our favorite! The kids eat it with apples, bananas, my daughter likes to heat it and put it on her chocolate ice cream. At $6 a jar in the PNW it gets mighty expensive. I never even thought of trying to make my own, how frigging easy it sounds. Well now I am going to make my own. Thanks! I wonder if I can make a peanut butter banana? I am going to try.
I think you could make a single serving of a banana peanut butter, but probably not more after that since bananas go bad quickly. You could always put some banana extract in a homemade peanut butter though!
If you do find a peanut butter rehab, let me know! My addiction is just as serious as yours! :)
What a fantastic idea!:) Thanks for sharing!! I think I will try to make a white chocolate almond butter!
Jessica~you are AMAZING!
I mean seriously…AMAZING!
And I just adore your personality!
Yes I do!
What lens do you use to take pictures such as these?
You may have featured camera~lens info on your blog.
I seriously need a good close up lens!
These pics are fabulous!
And so are YOU!
I love how you celebrate food and life!

Hi Teresa! I use a 35mm f/1.8.
Thank you. :)
Thanks Sweet~pea~zee!
Maybe I should consider a 35 mm vs a 50mm!
Hugs!

You’re killing me here lady!
Haha you’re a truly naughty girl Jessica~ :P and I mean it in the most loving sense of the word.
Wow, this sounds delicious! I didn’t realize peanut butter was so easy to make! I am definitely going to make my own peanut butter and the flavor combinations are endless!
So I just found your blog a couple of days ago…and today I made this PB…I salute you!! Amazing–it’s like White Chocolate Wonderful and Natural Peanut Butter had a beautiful baby!!
Uhhhhhhh…..
*died*
Jessica. You are the devil for posting this recipe.
My food processor is out. Off to the store for white chocolate.
I might have eaten the last of my PB Co with a spoon on Wednesday. Maybe I did. Refilling the jar with this in about 20 minutes.
good golly! I must have now now now. Thanks for this amazing twist on my two favorite things.
I just made dark-chocolate-chip-sea-salted almond butter no more than 2 hours ago, and now you have me wanting to go back in the kitchen to make this sinful masterpiece…
I love you, but my pants hate you.
White Chocolate Wonderful is by far my favorite!!! My brother lives in NYC and went to the PB&Co. cafe to get me a whole bag of jars straight from the source for Christmas. I feel like I need to go buy a food processor now so I can go make this.
Holy smokes! I have an obsessive peanut butter addiction too.

Ohhh dear sweet baby Jesus. This is heaven in peanut butter form.
Um, yes please. Thie looks amazing!
oh yessss I love white chocolate wonderful!
Oh my goodness… I’m in love!
This recipe looks delicious, I can’t wait to go try it!!
Ooooh, this looks SO good! I definitely need to make it. I’ve never made my own peanut butter, but the prospect of white chocolate peanut butter could definitely convince me!
I made this last night & it is absolutely AMAZING! Put it on my toast this morning! :) Keep the scrumptious recipes coming! Love your blog!
Thank you so much!!
I tried this the other day and it was fantastic!! Thanks for the recipe. I put it in the fridge and it totally hardened up though. Any suggestions??
All nut butters harden in the fridge. There is really no way around it, other than leaving it out at room temperature. If you think you will consume it in a week or two, leave it out. Otherwise, refrigeration is suggested because the oil in nuts can go rancid.
Oh yummy! I wish I had seen this for two reasons…I recently posted about National Peanut Butter Lover’s Day AND I also posted a White Chocolate Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake for National White Chocolate Cheesecake day, on my blog! This would have been awesome to reference too!
Can you send a can through the computer right now, pretty please? I’m drooling!!
I would love to! :)
Double fudge ANYTHING sounds good to me!
I wish my food processor hadn’t burned up so I could make this. YUM!
I just made this in my little cuisinart, it might be just a tad grainy but OH MY LORD it is amazing! I dont know what the PB&Co is bc I haven’t tried it but this tastes just like my favorite crunch topping from Dairy Queen! Thanks for posting this…..DELICIOUS!

Tyler Florence was waxing poetic about this white chocolate pretzel peanut butter that he loves (Best Thing I Ever Ate show)….what about putting pretzels into that lovely concoction of yours?
Rachel
I am not sure if someone asked this already but I dont have a food processor…can I use a blender? Thanks!

Just made this – The BEST peanut butter I have EVER tasted! Dipped apple slices in it. Sooooo good!
Finished it in less than a week… so I made more. :) I even doubled it this time!
Jessica! I just stumbled across your website, and I am SO impressed. Thank you :)
I made this with unsalted peanuts, which might perhaps account for the low amount of oil that I needed to use. I wasn’t able to find good quality white chocolate this time around, so I used a bar of Lindt Excellence White Chocolate Coconut. The PB lacks a perfectly smooth texture, but if you like coconut, give it a try :)
Kim
Thanks Kim! I love coconut – that sounds fabulous.
I just made this 15 minutes ago and it will not make it past about 3 days! I used olive oil because I don’t have any canola oil and it tastes great! Thanks for the recipe, it’s a keeper!
Like you I LOVE White Chocolate Peanut Butter and I always have a stock!!! But it would be awesome to try making one on my own. I do have a question though….what brand of white chocolate do you use because they don’t all taste the same :D
Thank you! Thank you! And I’m glad to have found you blog!

Jessica, this was amazing. My hubby and I went through a jar in less than a week, and the day I made it we both just stood in the kitchen licking the food processor clean (minus the blade; we were thinking smart!). Heavenly stuff :).
Ohhhhhhh my god! This is incredible…….and very dangerous! Help! I’ve eaten almost the whole batch this weekend! Help!!!!!
That looks great! I plan on using some white chocolate peanut butter for one of my recipes – do you know if it freezes well?
