Pro tip: crush roasted unsalted peanuts and have real peanut butter. You have no idea what you're missing. The peanut butter sold in most places is hydraulically fractured, then the peanut oil is reserved and replaced with inferior soybean. Crushed (not fractured) peanut butter does not separate, and it is breathtakingly versatile in cooking!

How do you crush the peanuts? What tools do you use?

You can actually buy a peanut crushing machine! I don't have one, and I can't honestly see that anyone would want to go through the botheration of cleaning and maintaining but hey to each their own!

For me there's a bulk food center that sells stuff out of bins by weight, and they provide the crushers for a minor extra charge, I believe it's 11 cents extra per 100g

Every once in awhile I run out of peanut butter, but because I actually always have roasted unsalted peanuts, if I need to I can just bust them up or smosh them in my cast iron mortar and pestle

You can just bash some on a cutting board with a hard heavy thing... The little smashed up nuggets are amazing on different things like rice noodles, as a topping for curries, some salads

One of my favorite uses for peanut butter, and you only need like a tablespoon, is mix it in with a little bit of beef broth out of a box, mix in the peanut butter, some Thai chilies or whatever heat you like, spices to taste, and then you can parboil some potatoes and finish them in that sauce and it's like this crazy... like dude just try it

I love peanuts so much!

Edit: I forgot to mention I was eating peanuts while typing this comment

Ha ha thanks! I love peanuts too but seems like I won't be able to make my own peanut better anytime soon :)
