This peanut butter hot chocolate is a creamy, rich delight! So simple to make with just a few ingredients that you probably already have on hand!
There is nothing better than enjoying a hot steamy cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day! Back in our days of living in Minnesota we definitely had our fair share of hot chocolate.
Sometimes I like to kick our hot chocolate up a notch and add different flavors to it. It is something that is very easy to do and so much cheaper than buying it from a coffee shop.
HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE
Ingredients
Hot cocoa mix. Sometimes I use a homemade hot cocoa mix and sometimes we use store bought. Either way is super easy!
Peanut Butter: Adds a depth of flavor to the hot chocolate.
Milk. This gives your hot chocolate a creamy texture. You can add water but we always prefer milk.
Toffee Bits. Toffee combines so well with the flavor of peanut butter, it’s a must!
Whipped cream. Store bought is so much easier, but homemade would work just as well.
Directions
- Heat your milk in the cup that you want to use for your hot chocolate.
- Add the hot cocoa mix and whisk until there are no more clumps.
- Next you will add your peanut butter. Whisk again.
- Top with a drizzle of peanut butter, whipped cream and toffee bits. ENJOY!
