Place the peanuts into the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 10 seconds, Speed 8. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Mix for a further 20 seconds, Speed 6 (check if it's the consistency you would like).Scrape down the sides.
For a smooth peanut butter, slowly increase to Speed 7 for 1-2 minutes (scraping down the sides every 30 seconds).

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Use roasted peanuts - ensure you use roasted (not natural peanuts) for the ultimate flavour and texture.
Salted or unsalted peanuts are both fine to use - the choice is yours! I tend to use salted peanuts as I love the flavour, but if you prefer, unsalted peanuts work just as well.
For smooth peanut butter mix longer - the smoother you'd like your peanut butter to be, the longer you'll need to mix it. For chunkier peanut butter, mix for a shorter period of time.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly - this helps to mix the peanut butter evenly.
Store - in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month or at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Freezing - you can freeze homemade peanut butter in ice cube trays for up to 3 months. Pop out of the tray and allow to defrost at room temperature before using.
