- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if needed by adding small increments of sweetener.
- Transfer the peanut butter to a clean, airtight glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.

Tips
- Choose a high-quality natural peanut butter with no added sugars for the best results.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smoother, more consistent mixture.
- Use a microwave-safe dish with a spout for easier pouring of melted coconut oil.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly to prevent separation of ingredients.
- Taste and adjust sweetness gradually - you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
- Use an airtight glass container to preserve freshness and prevent absorption of other refrigerator odors.
- If the peanut butter becomes too firm in the refrigerator, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
- Experiment with different low-carb sweeteners to find your perfect flavor profile.
- For extra richness, consider adding a pinch of salt or a dash of cinnamon.
- Always use clean utensils when scooping to prevent contamination and extend shelf life.
