Every sip of this peanut butter hot chocolate will make you feel as though you're enjoying a Reese's peanut butter cup, only better! It's made with wholesome ingredients like cocoa powder, honey, and natural peanut butter. It's a recipe you'll come back to time and time again!
Ingredients
- 3 cups milk
- 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add milk, peanut butter, honey, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract to a medium-sized saucepan.
- Warm over medium-high heat, whisking continuously for 5 minutes. This will combine everything and keep the milk from scorching.
- Once everything is combined and the hot chocolate reaches your desired temperature, take off the heat.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over your mugs before pouring to remove any tiny pieces from the natural peanut butter.
- Distribute the hot chocolate evenly between 2 mugs. Serve as is or add homemade whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes
Toppings
The best toppings are whipped cream (homemade is best!) with peanut butter and/or chocolate sauce drizzled over the topVariations:
- If desired, you can use regular peanut butter like Jiffy or Peter Pan for this recipe. I recommend using natural peanut butter to keep it wholesome, but you're more than welcome to make that swap. If the peanut butter you're using has sugar in it, add the honey to taste so it's not overly sweet.
- If you don't want to use honey, you can swap it for cane sugar
