How to uniformly chop peanuts

cuttingnutspeanuts

I'd love to get something approximating the nicely uniform chopped peanuts you get when you order a sundae at McDonald's.

I have tried manually chopping the nuts, and they come out all sorts of shapes and sizes. I bought a manual nut chopper, and while this is closer, there's still lots of peanut dust.

Short of buying a commercial nut chopper, is there any trick to get the nuts chopped evenly and with minimal dust?

I would imagine the commercial choppers used for McDonald's nuts generate the same amount of dust. They probably sell that dust for some other purpose.

The dust should be easy enough to remove: just shake them around in a strainer.
