I’m sure many of you are PB & CO fans.
If you haven’t tried any of their peanut butters, go out and buy them. I promise you, they are amazing.
A few weeks ago I saw this in Publix.
I had only tried their Dark Chocolate Dreams before and have always been wanting to try more.
If you haven’t noticed I’m one of those nut butter fanatics.
Anyway, I knew I had to buy it.
Once I tried it, I died.
Literally.
It was gone very soon and lately I’ve been interested in making my own nut butter.
I’ve always wanted to try it but never realized how easy it really was.
I stumbled upon this recipe on Healthy Food For Living’s Blog.
I died again.
I knew I had to make it, and if you noticed on yesterday’s post I bought some peanuts and raisins at whole foods.
Make this now.

Now, I’m sure you will want to taste it while in the process of making it but here’s a tip.
It’s even better after you place in fridge overnight.
