Salted Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate
Imagine a dark chocolate peanut butter cup all melted and warm in a mug. Now add a sprinkle of sea salt and a couple of toasted marshmallows to finish it off. Nothing more to say. Mmm.
Recipe: Salted Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate
(slightly adapted from Dinner with Julie)
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup water
3 cups milk
3-4 Tbsp. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate chips or 3 oz. finely chopped chocolate
In a saucepan, add the sugar and cocoa and whisk in the water until smooth, then whisk in the milk over medium-high heat. Heat until steaming. Remove the pan from the heat and add the peanut butter and chocolate chips. Let sit for a few seconds, then blend with a hand-held immersion blender or whisk until frothy. Finish with a touch of sea salt and some toasted marshmallows. (Don’t skip this part, because you’ll really be missing out!)
This is interesting! Almost everyone enjoys peanut butter and chocolate together, why not have it in hot cocoa? Great idea. Happy New Year!
