i am planning to make a choco peanut butter cupts as my gift for my friends but it requires me to use food processor and i don’t have it, i have hand mixer. I don’t want to spend something for a food processor now as i am trying to save money plus i won’t be using it often. The epanut butter would serve as my base so it needs to be a little sandy. Is it possible for me to use hand mixer for this instead of food processor?
How do you think things were done before food processors…?
it’s probably calling for a food processor because somewhere in the recipe you need to chop up all the peanuts or other nuts?
if this is so,
just buy very finely chopped GROUND nuts instead, you can find these in the baking aisle; they look like the consistency of "fat" sugar if you know what i mean.
then you can add this to your peanut butter, and continue on with your hand mixer.
I rarely use my food processor for making cakes or cookies or anything like that as a hand mixer works just as well and is much easier to clean! If there are actual nuts or chocolate chips in the recipe you are using just stir them in at the end with a wooden spoon.
It only requires you to use the food processor to mash the peanuts I am right? if the recipe says so then make homemade peanut butter
. if not just used Jiffy should work fine!…
Yes. But do mix the ingredients thoroughly. ( A chef I used to know developed large muscles in his arms by mixing everything by hand).
