Okay I just saw this: do we need to add water or something into the food processor with the almonds? I'm sorry if this sounds EXTREMELY stupid but I rarely cook so when I do, I ask stupid questions and drive my Mom [and in this case, you] nuts.

Lol! No problems Devina....No need to add water..just keep processing the almonds until the heat makes the nuts go into a paste. You will need to scrape down the sides every so often. But it cheaper than buying jars of the stuff.
