We all remember school lunches of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and snacks of peanut butter with apples and celery.  Sometimes there’s nothing more comforting to me than a good PB&J.  Many store bought peanut butters are packed with sugar and other ingredients we just don’t need in our bodies.  Here’s a basic and quick recipe for peanut butter using only four or five ingredients.  For a more exotic twist add hazelnuts.  I never thought I would describe peanut butter as “exotic,” but I guess I just did.
