White Chocolate Peanut Butter

White Chocolate Peanut Butter! This delicious treat is so, well, delicious is the only way to describe it, that you will want to make some for yourself! And of course you should. So it will not surprise you that it also makes a great gift for your favorite person!

Calling all white chocolate fans! I know you are out there!

Who (besides me!) thinks that White Chocolate Peanut Butter has got to be the best thing since sliced bread? If you do, then I have some good news! It is so very easy to make, and it only requires three ingredients. Plus it is ready in about 8 to 10 minutes. And the food processor does all the work...Something this delicious and easy to make, is perfect for those times you need a special food gift for someone. For home I simply put it in one of my many mason jars I keep in the kitchen for food storage. But presented as a gift, it is fun to mix it up. A hasp top jar is nice, but so is a vintage or unique coffee mug.

Funny but true!

You know after a while it gets hard trying to come up with a new descriptive phrase that is different from, "this is great" or "so delicious!". But when it comes down to writing about the food I cook, I wish I was equally creative in the writing department as I am in the kitchen. Because honestly just saying this is tasty or delicious does not do it justice! Personally I have been in love with white chocolate since I went to a Chocolate Symposium at The Forestry Center at Washington Park Zoo in Portland Oregon several years ago. The whole subject of cacao as a crop and how it is harvested, fermented, and then processed into chocolate and cocoa is fascinating. And then there is white chocolate. Which really is not true chocolate, but the cocoa butter mixed with sugar.

Why not give this delicious treat a try in your own kitchen?

In truth the family and friends of a food blogger usually eat pretty well, but, this recipe goes way beyond that! When we have this in the house, it doesn't last long. Yes, it is good on bread or crackers just like regular peanut butter, because snacking should also include delicious food. But it also makes a wonderful filling for a chocolate cake. If you like a salty sweet combo, you will love this with pretzels. Or how about White Chocolate Peanut Butter on your favorite pan of brownies? I think you are getting the idea...there is no place you can't take this nut butter. It knows how to behave in public!

If you were actually able to purchase this in a specialty gourmet shop you would pay a big price for something that is really quite easy to make. This is one of those recipes you will want to keep handy for those times you need something easy, delicious, and quick to make for the family (or yourself!) as well as a gift.

Some additional thoughts on this recipe:

Do not use dry roasted peanuts for this recipe. Generally, they are quite salty and have other flavors added to the dry roasting brine.

Standard salted peanuts are the best choice. If you are watching your salt intake or do not want too salty of a finished product, dump the salted peanuts into a mesh sieve and shake out some of the salt.

The processing time will vary based on your food processor model. But just keep at it, you will bet a smooth "butter" as you continue to process.

Ingredients needed for this recipe:

bar of real white chocolate
salted peanuts
oil

You will also need the following:

food processor
measuring cups
measuring spoons
rubber scraper
storage container with lid

Now we are ready to begin!

Updated: 04.24.2025

1 4oz bar premium real white chocolate, break into pieces
1 c lightly salted* or unsalted peanuts
1 T mild oil - if needed

Place peanuts and chocolate pieces into the bowl of a food processor.

Process until crumbly, scrape down the sides of the bowl, continue to process until smooth like peanut butter. Stop as needed to scrape the sides of the bowl, keeping the mass as close to the blade of the processor.

You may need to add the oil to achieve a smooth finished product. Do not use more than the amount listed.

Please note: take care should you lick the processor blade and try not to cut your tongue...don't ask me how I know this important piece of information...

Storage options for White Chocolate Peanut Butter. Store at room temperature for up to 7 days. You may refrigerate for longer storage time, but trust me, there will not be any left! I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
