Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

Prep Time5 minutes
Total Time5 minutes
Servings: 1 mug

Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • ⅓ cup milk chocolate
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate
  • ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Combine both chips and peanut butter in a heatproof bowl (preferably with a spout), and set aside.
  • Combine milk and cream in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, whisking frequently. (The faster you whisk, the foamier the milk will be.)
  • When the milk looks like it's about to boil, remove from heat and pour into bowl over the chips and peanut butter.
  • Let sit about 1 minute, then whisk until completely smooth.
  • Pour into a mug and enjoy!

Notes

As with the last recipe, high quality chocolate will improve the taste of this recipe, but I'm always a proponent of using what you have on hand.  I used Ghirardelli chips (60% Dark, and Milk), but you can also chop chocolate if you don't have chips.  The chips just save a step!
I used whole milk for my test recipes, but I think whatever type of milk you have on hand should also work fine.  You can use a little bit more cream and less milk to thicken a lighter milk.
