Here is a peanut butter with a lot going on. Smoky Hatch green chili. Raw honey. Habanero. Fresh-roasted runner peanuts. You might reasonably ask: is this too much? And the answer, it turns out, is no. Each ingredient, on its own, is already doing something interesting. Together, they are doing something that took Big Spoon Roasters founder Mark Overbay the better part of a decade to figure out.
The magic is in how the three elements play off each other. The honey softens the earthy richness of the peanuts, the habanero lifts the heat, and together they make the fruity, smoky character of our Hatch chili powder sing. It's sweet, spicy, and deeply savory all at once — the kind of flavor combination that feels both surprising and completely inevitable.

Cooking tips
- On toast: Spread generously on thick toast and top with sliced banana or a drizzle of extra honey.
- As a sauce for noodles or grilled chicken: Thin with a splash of warm water, a squeeze of lime, and a little soy sauce for an instant peanut sauce with a smoky, spicy kick that's ready in minutes.
