No worries thanks for watching

[@frankmthompson]

For natural peanut butters like that, you generally have to stir them up when you first open them. The oil separates out since they have no stabilizers. If you don't mix it up the top is generally more oily and the bottom more dried out. It can be a pain sometimes to mix them.

[@rolfs2165]

Yup. But I love how much more variety you can get with organic nut butters.

[@frankmthompson]

@@rolfs2165 Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I prefer natural peanut butters :)

Yeah, I was like when did that become a swear word? LOL But I'm thinking it's more about it being said on KZbin (and on a channel that has kids on it a lot of the time) than anything else.

[@silkedavid8876]

My family has made icing sugar for 40+years in the electric coffeebean grinder. It was quite a small one, so we had to do a few turns to get the required amount, but so much cheaper!

[@lalolana]

We do that too.

[@Pudeta]

Yeah I always make homemade in the blender when I forgot to buy some. Easy and quick solution. No big savings though, because sugar and powdered sugar are pretty much at the same price in our stores.

[@brandoncavazos7965]

I work at a Lidl down the other end of the country, crazy how the store layouts are identical, could've sworn it was my store just from the inside footage and of course the non-food section was a mess, as usual, haha.

[@archlily4697]

The Lidl in my town in Germany looks exactly the same too LMAO

[@Azeez.AS17]

@@archlily4697 yeah I was about to say it's the same in Scotland and in Germany as well

[@thetierney]

Lidl here in Portugal looks exactly the same as well!

[@Pudeta]

That's part of their strategy. Aldi is the same. If everything looks the same it's easier to plan the shelf layout for max profit (one fits all) and the costumers are happy because they'll find their stuff in every store roughly at the same place. There are some variations due to renovation and innovation, but it's pretty much the same for all stores.

[@Softballover50]

Phoebe's reaction when Chloe gives that answer at 3:00 is priceless.

[@stephaniebaumlin36]

When you make peanut butter at home you need to keep the food processor on until all of the oils release and it liquifies

[@disasterofalldisasters]

But that requires logic! 🤭

[@stephaniebaumlin36]

Not really, more so trial and error.

[@jolienpetre9017]

Nice video Barry! Since I discovered how to make your own PB, I never buy any from the store anymore. However, I just roast the peanuts and blend them without adding any oil. The longer you blend it, the runnier/creamier it gets :D

[@truirf]

Says "something simple"... proceeds to make homemade everything!

[@leenaislam4908]

Yay i am so glad to know that the cheap was the best as that lidl's peanut butter is my favourite. Also being a baker myself lidl's icing sugar is much better as it doesn't fly ever where like the others when making buttercream. And the chocolates are also pretty good as well specially the dark chocolate ones.

[@SoulcatcherLucario]

You can also make your own brown sugar with mixing sugar and molasses in a zip lock bag, make it as light or dark as you want. Did Santa ever bring you new oven mitts? Your video was fun as usual.

[@CarlGorn]

Thanks for another fun food trip, Barry. My wife loves the pb cups and this video got me thinking, I might just see if I can make a giant one for her using my 10" tart pan. I like adding coconut oil to my homemade peanut butter. It's heart-healthy, it adds a more rounded nut flavor to the product, and it works very well with chocolate. Rather than honey (which can introduce some clashing pollen flavors), I sweeten the peanut butter with ultra-fine sugar. Just whiz the sugar up in a coffee grinder and that's it. I don't add corn flour because it gives a cleaner flavor without it. The only reason you have corn flour in the stuff you get from the store is to keep it from clumping, and that's not really an issue when you're dumping it right into a recipe.

[@samhenwood5746]

Fantastic job & thanks Barry n Family 😋👍

[@Demasx]

The outcome was really surprising!

[@maddoctor99]

Icing sugar is called “powdered sugar” in the States so most folks there would assume you make it by grinding regular granulated sugar. Also, many supermarkets there have a selection of nuts in large plastic hoppers with grinders attached to them so you can make your own butter blends which go straight from nut to jar.

[@omnipossum92]

The one with corn flour/starch is called icing mixture in Australia where as icing sugar is just the sugar.

[@gracielahernandez2617]

I am usually making home made peanut butter too.. (for few years now) I love it.. Most off the time I don't even need oil but if I do I like to use coconut oil.. and making icing sugar already is an "old" hack for me since I didn't have any at home when I need it so I thought why not to ground it like the coffee.. 😁😁 I loved the video great as always.. I wouldn't miss any of them..

[@emmyploeger512]

When I was a little girl, 55 years ago, my mother made icing sugar like that, in the electric coffeegrinder. No cornflour in it, just sugar

[@Swety0203]

Why would you have cornstarch in your sugar?

[@emmyploeger512]

@sorry, I meant cornflour. Barry did that in the sugar we didn't do that.

[@dianapovero7319]

@@Swety0203 The corn starch (corn flour) helps thicken the icing & kepps the snow effect from melting. drivert sugar(no cornstarch reacts differently and is usually used inside baked goods for a more delicate texture ( like those wafer thin ginger cookies)

I've made icing sugar with a pestle and mortar before now. A very satisfying task.

Fun fact: peanuts do not actually contain nuts. They are a legume like green beans.

[@samos4924]

They're not a tree but, no. But people can be allergies to both tree nuts and peanuts.

[@anndownsouth5070]

I always thought they are root growths or something.

[@scragar]

@@anndownsouth5070 Not quite a root growth, the flowers are above the ground and get fertilised, then a thin stalk grows out from just under the flower straight down into the ground and develops into the peanut pod. They're often tangled up in the roots because they go straight down from the flowers, but they don't grow from the roots themselves.

Was that Joe and stephs popcorn sauce if so they have amazing products very expensive though I usually get them free with Vodafone though and that tasted about fantastic

I'm eating some Reese's mini peanut butter cups as I watch this! 😹😻

[@traceyhazelwood5395]

The only difference between granulated, caster & iceing sugar is that caster is slightly more ground than granulated and iceing is ground to a fine powder, I only buy granulated sugar and grind my own as its needed, so only have one bag in the cupboard rather than three and have more space for other things.

[@laartje24]

Thank you so much for showing the icing sugar trick! Part of my family can't have normal granulated sugar and the sugar replacement only comes in granuals. Which gave me the option of very grainy icing on cakes or a few hours dedication with a mortar and pestle. Can't wait to try the cornflour out!

[@brianartillery]

Great idea, Barry. Any chance of you making the equally delicious Almond and Hazelnut butters, in the future?I love when you buy a bag of nuts - that's all that is in the bag, nuts (I love nuts of all kinds), and it will still carry a 'Contains nuts' warning. Best instructions I ever saw though, was on a cake I bought from a well known retailer. On the label, it actually had instructions to: 'Cut into slices, and eat'. News to me. I'd just bought cake, took it home, and thrown it at a wall, up to that point. (HEAVY SARCASM).

I make my own icing sugar and caster sugar from granulated. I don't add corn flour. Just grind... To desired size

[@toxicginger9936]

I was thinking about that. I do the same thing. And I think that's where the DIY version went wrong. I don't think the corn flour blended through the entire amount of sugar. And Mrs. B scooped from the 'top' inside the blender cavity, so I think those cups had a LOT of cornflower in them compared to sugar and it threw off the taste.

Really love these cheap vs steep just to see what ingredients make a difference. I’ll say for peanut butter I can only really stand the cheap because anytime I’ve tried alternatives or steep it’s been disgusting. So I think here is actually where I was right to predict cheap wins. Even my mother, who my taste differ greatly with, will go for cheap peanut butter over the pricey organic option. I even buy the Reece’s brand peanut butter lol so idk if that falls into cheap or mid-level.
