This Peanut Butter Frozen Hot Chocolate is a rich and creamy frozen beverage combining chocolate milk, hot chocolate mix, and peanut butter elements for a decadent treat. Blended with ice and topped with whipped cream, hot fudge, and extra peanut butter cups, it’s perfect for chocolate and peanut butter lovers looking for a cool, indulgent drink.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups chocolate milk
  • 4 packets hot chocolate mix
  • ½ cup mini peanut butter cups (about 10 miniature Reese’s), plus more for garnish
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter, plus more for garnish
  • 3-4 cups ice
  • 2 tablespoons whipped cream
  • 1 tablespoon hot fudge sauce for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Gather chocolate milk, hot chocolate mix, mini peanut butter cups, creamy peanut butter, and ice to ensure all items are ready for quick assembly.
  2. Blend the mixture: Combine the chocolate milk, hot chocolate mix, mini peanut butter cups, creamy peanut butter, and 3 to 4 cups of ice in a high-powered blender. Pulse several times until the ice is broken down uniformly into small pieces, creating a smooth frozen texture.
  3. Serve the drink: Pour the blended frozen hot chocolate evenly between two tall drink glasses, ensuring an even distribution of the thick, creamy liquid.
  4. Add toppings: Top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with hot fudge sauce, add a peanut butter drizzle by warming some creamy peanut butter until runny, and garnish with additional chopped mini peanut butter cups to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Prepare this drink just before serving for the best frozen texture and flavor.
  • Use a high-powered blender such as a Vitamix or Blendtec to achieve a consistent ice break-down.
  • This drink is rich and peanut butter filled; using whole chocolate milk enhances creaminess, but low-fat or sugar-free options can be substituted to reduce calories.
  • You can use different sizes of Reese’s peanut butter cups: about 10 mini, 4-5 standard, or measure ½ cup of extra mini.
  • To make peanut butter drizzle easier, warm a couple of tablespoons in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until it becomes runny for easy pouring.
