Peanut(groundnut) butter

Yummmy! This is one spread you'd love to keep spreading! Peanut butter spread tastes absolutely delicious with bread, salted biscuits or sandwiches, and is good breakfast specially for children. Of course, it is lots of cholesterol, but spreading only a little is sufficient to add great taste to your bread.

Peanut butter spread is easy to make, the only time consuming part being the de-skinning of peanut. You could use some help there, but make sure you don't call on peanut-lovers for help!
