You can use any kind of nuts for this recipe—almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, and Brazil nuts are all delicious. If you want chunky nut butter, remove a generous scoop of the chopped nuts from the food processor before they turn into a powder, then fold the chopped nuts back into the nut butter before storing.
