Total Time & Yield: 5 minutes; serves 2.

Why This Recipe

• This peanut butter frozen hot chocolate recipe stands out in several ways.

• While many recipes rely on hot cocoa mix or chocolate syrup, ours incorporates rich chocolate milk and creamy peanut butter for a more indulgent flavor.

• Most other recipes suggest adding just peanut butter, but our version steps it up by including peanut butter cups, adding more texture and depth to every sip.

• Additionally, some versions use shortcuts like frozen bananas to achieve a creamy consistency, but we focus purely on the rich combination of chocolate and peanut butter, keeping the flavor profile classic and comforting.

• The blend of whipped cream and hot fudge garnish also makes it a more decadent treat compared to simpler recipes that rely only on whipped cream​.

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE MILK: This rich peanut butter hot cocoa is filling and delicious.

I recommend Vitamin D chocolate milk (whole milk) for an extra-rich drink, but you can also use low-fat milk and/or sugar-free chocolate syrup to cut back the calories.

PEANUT BUTTER CUPS: Any type of Reese’s peanut butter cups can be used in this recipe.

You need about ten of the miniature size, four to five of the standard size, or simply measure out a half cup of the extra mini Reese’s.

HOT CHOCOLATE: There are plenty of choices for hot chocolate powder flavors. Choose whichever one is your favorite for this recipe.
