It's so simple. You roast peanuts, grind them, add salt to taste, bam, a rich, thick, tasty spread you can put on everything, or just eat with a spoon if you're terminally sad.
Word. It's so silly. I used to live near a fancy hippy store that had a bin of roast peanuts and you'd pour as much as you wanted in to a grinder and it'd poop out fresh peanut butter. Never did it because it was kinda $$$ but i thought it was funny.
I used to know a guy who knew a food scientist and sometimes he'd show up at work and be like "my buddy had to make 20lbs of peanut butter for an experiment and he gave me the leftovers who wants some?" It was usually sooooo good.
They used to have these in regular grocery stores like A&P and Kroger. My mom used to use these exclusively since I was ADHD and wasn’t allowed anything with sugar or artificial color. It would have been fine except SHE KEPT THE PEANUT BUTTER IN THE FRIDGE 😭

One of Europe's many failures.

Now what have I done that you come after me personally?
Edit:
It comes from a place of love. I have a jar of peanut butter on my bedroom table right now.
Europe: "how about some overly sweet hazelnut paste with chocolate added??!?"
Nutella is delicious and I will die on this hill
But it's not vegan
Hold up
It's ground hazelnuts and sugar
What the fuck is porky adding to it to make it not vegan, I hate capitalism goddamn
Milk powder. Also it's mostly palm oil, which is very destructively farmed.
Yeah it sucks, but it's very easy to make your own vegan variant
I hate capitalism goddamn [2]
You can make your own pretty easily though!
Nah also got to add a terminal amount of high fructose corn syrup
I'm sooo bitter that most stores near me don't carry actual real peanut butter, and the ones that do charge $9 a jar
