Peanut butter gives cocoa a delicious savoury edge that is incredibly moreish. Spread it generously on toast.
By Sue Quinn
Ingredients
- 200g/7oz no-added-sugar smooth peanut butter
- 100g/3½oz icing sugar, sifted
- 50g/1¾oz cocoa powder, sifted
- ⅛ tsp (4 good pinches) fine sea salt
- 2–4 tbsp roasted peanut oil, or as needed
Method
Put the peanut butter, icing sugar, cocoa powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large bowl. Stir by hand to combine or use an electric mixer. Slowly beat in enough of the remaining oil to create the consistency of chocolate spread you prefer – bear in mind the spread will firm up in the fridge. The spread keeps well in a sealed jar in the fridge for 2 weeks.
