| 1½ | pounds | Roasted peanuts, unsalted in the shell |

| Bowls for peanuts and shells | ||
| Serving bowl; knifes for spreading | ||
Directions
Shell the peanuts using various methods. Using ones mouth is not acceptable, due to spread over germs. Younger children may need help. Take off peanut skins also. After a goodly supply has accumulated set up meat grinder and children begin grinding. Add oil, enough so mixture is spreadable. Add salt. Serve in a small bowl with crackers. Children are encouraged to spread their own peanut butter and enjoy this snack they have made themselves.
