Hot Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Stephanie Gallagher
Chocolate and peanut butter: Could there be a better marriage? It's hard to think of a better way to enjoy the combination than chocolate peanut butter cups, chocolate peanut butter cookies or chocolate peanut butter bars -- that is, until you try this hot chocolate peanut butter cup drink. It is simply divine. But don't take my word for it. Go make some right now!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp. half and half
  • 1 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups milk (2% or skim milk is okay)

Preparation:

  1. Place the chocolate chips, half and half and peanut butter in a microwave-safe container. Heat on high for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.

  2. In a separate microwave-safe container, heat milk on high 1 minute. It should be warm, but not boiling.

  3. Pour chocolate mixture into milk and stir vigorously until smooth (you can whip it with an immersion blender or frother, if you like). Strain and serve.

Makes 2 servings.
